mrNoodles rrProfessor Borlänge, Sweden | Hahaha you should see me sitting in front of my computer laughing for myself!! Theres an "old" man at our field, I guess he nevr flown anything, he´s just there to see and talk to some ppl all summer, but he suggested a that the main gear on a Nexus should be done out of brass, so I wouldn´t break so easy when for ex. the tail accidently hit the ground.
And then he always sounds like "Hupp hupp.. hupp hupp..."
So I guess you can understand me and KingHippos feeling when we crash and he is around making weird sounds and suggest rather stupid things.
And another plank flier was coming in for landing at appr. 1-2m he applied full dive... The plane was a mess - but afterwards he claimed that the engine hade the wrong angle (he had been trying to angle the engine in lots of different positions during the summer) ![]() "-Was a radio glitch, did the engine die...?" That says a lot of them, cant confess for others that it was their own fault that made their plane/heli crash! /Fredrik | ||

FinnDave rrElite Veteran Kouvola, Finland | Hi Jarno, well I now have a friend to fly with, so the pleasure is greater. I know Atala have good prices on Hirobo, I just can't bring myself to buy one! I used to live near the Hirobo importer & shop in England (Dave Niemans') in the 80s and got my first heli there (a 555), but for some reason I don't want to be the same as every other heli flier in Finland and have a Freya!Maybe I should get myself up to Tampere sometime and get Seppo to talk me into one!David S., Kouvola, Finland | ||

Jarno rrVeteran Finland | I think it really has some good points that everyone here has got the same brand, BUT it really gets boring too! I wish we had more brands around here.

FinnDave rrElite Veteran Kouvola, Finland | Jarno, not sure if you've seen this, most of the helis at the fly.in at Vesivehmaa last September. Mostly Hirobo, there is a Raptor 50 and a Skyfox toward the right of the pic, and a strange English bloke in a blue jacket with a red neckstrap third from the right behind the helis!(pic from Indrek Hiie)![]() David S., Kouvola, Finland | ||

Jarno rrVeteran Finland | Yep, I've seen it. Unfortunately I missed that meeting. If I remember right, I crashed just before the meeting and couldn't get spares in time. I used to fly the R60 those daysJarno | ||

FinnDave rrElite Veteran Kouvola, Finland | Ohh...not really a sci-fi buff, so it all went over my head! Is that what all that 'dark side' business is about in the Century camp? I thought they were just a bit odd David S., Kouvola, Finland | ||

Jarno rrVeteran Finland | Oh and one more thing: Dave did you check how many YS engines there were on that camp at Vesivehmaa? | ||
|
03-12-2003 06:39 PM 15 years ago | Post 37 |
FinnDave rrElite Veteran Kouvola, Finland | Jarno, I didn't count the engines, but quite a few YS, I think, and a surprising amount of 30% fuel, considering the cost of the stuff over here!I was talking with Seppo from Atala at a small model show in Lahti in November and he showed me some pics of a new version of the Freya that is coming soon, about 1000€ with a metal head? Maybe it's already around, I don't keep up with Hirobo news, can't check everything!David S., Kouvola, Finland | ||
