The Hub on Model-Helicopters.Com

fabo days flying over here today.
A pilot who used to fly with us for years is back, turned up!. And brought along his new machine. He's nicked my old colour scheme the naughty man
I think that makes 7 600N's in our little group alone.. bring 2008 warmer weather on!

Mattyboy tried to run off with this new machine.

Just like to mention that hopefully an error that has been bugging me for ages, is fixed.
Some of you might have found that if you shut your browser down from this site, that you got an internet explorer error, suggesting you send a report etc.

This has been a nightmare to try and track down. All the pages worked and draw as expected. nothing tripped up and everything appears fine, yet this nightmare continued. I think however I have stopped this after a focused effort.

Please note that this error has no effect in anyway to a computer. It was purely the pages tripping up regarding getting information from the database. No matter what I do, I can not replicate this error anymore and neither can a few members who have tried for me.

If you do find that closing the browser down causes an error message, firstly don't worry as this is nothing linking back to your pc in anyway!!!. And maybe let me know here as to what you were doing on what page..

While postingsI would like to mention that, you should have noticed the shout box on the home page. This is a public area for any one to chat to anyone. dive in at any time. There is a snap shot link to see 2 hours back and you can turn sound on or off to hear posts coming in. And also don't miss the new help files system that is growing. This "HELP" is a link within the top buttons. Always use internet explorer if you can to see the site as it was intended. Some browsers don't open windows and other features correctly.
cheers

Weather is appauling today.
But who cares because I can still fly my favourite helicopter and what a location too..

Just received dates for spring fly in at Charmouth, posted in the Charmouth forum

AHA comp dates in and posted in F3C forum

Hi all.

I have just activated some more pictures that a member has uploaded to his gallery.
It occured to me that it would be interesting to have a "views counter" on your galleries so that we can see whos has been the most looked at on the site etc.
So I shall code that and make it appear at the top of a gallery when being viewed along with placing that information in your "my console" and possibly on the left hand side info bar too.

I will code it so that when you view your own, the counter won't go up and also make it so that if the same member keeps viewing the same gallery over and over during the same internet session, it won't keep going up either. So it will be one count per view per session by people who's gallery it is not.. (if you get my drift). A bit more head scratching pending.

If there are any other features that you can think of, please do let me know and I will give em a go. I am currently working on a new bolt on module for the calendar. A week planner. This just gives you another view of the years. When events and personal diary events are entered. Watch for the new button in the top header buttons soon. (if not already there).

OH and check out wirlybirds gallery, that I have just acivated the pcs in. What a great looking macihine that is for those who appreciate a bit of scale along with 3d etc.. Nice garden too actually. I am envious big time.. I wonder where in the world wirlybird is, because it does not look like the UK??
Where is you at dude? Or does any one else know??

I have finaly crahsed on my own behalf. Doing tick tocks in a tight pie dish manor, to low really and stuffed the tail in. Have stripped the back tail gear and the main gear,but thats all, these Trex600N's are indestructable. Definately go out and buy one.

Any News when the new Vibe 50 is going to be released?

I've just bought a GY 611 and I have a quick Question.


If I get a 611 with a associated servo and then run the Align reglator do I still need a stepdown for the tail servo or will the GY611's control unit drop the voltage for me?

Might seem a silly question but I don't know how clever the control unit is

Thanks
