My Posts This: Topic Forum | Call me a Noobie, but............I couldn't own a Nitro without one. When I switched from T600 electrics to 600 Nitros, the first thing that bugged me was how much support crap I had to haul to the flight line just to get the heli in the air. I have switch glows on both of my 600 Nitros and now I've got it down to three pieces of equipment; the heli, the starter and my radio, the fuel bottle, heli bags and cases stay on the pit tables. For what it's worth the second thing that bugged me and I pretty much knew it was coming was how messy these machines are. I miss the days of just putting my heli inside my car or truck and driving away from the field. Those days are over with, believe me! Now I have to spend 10-15 minutes just cleaning it enough to put them back into their bags. I do kind of like the smell though! Respectfully, Ed
