My Posts This: Topic  Forum		here is the email "Before you make an idiot of yourself next time do some research eh.

http://www.dynamicflight.com/aerody.../ground_effect/

An open apology in all the forums you started would be in order I think.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		He could be checking the gyro direction, blade tracking or even breaking the engine-in? I wouldn't ever use one but I'm not going to shoot it down becouse it's unsafe becouse I dont think it is!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I didn't see a hint of resonants whilst the heli was tethered. At what point was it unsafe?

Compared to the nit wits who fire up their models for the first time with the gyro reversed this would save the model.

I didnt see a hint of flight either, so what's the point of it.

As to the gyro, might be an idea to check the direction of it before you motor up not after.
