Ring any bells?

Hi JoeyDiaz,

Does this look familiar?

You purchased that heli from Pete Harris, a friend of mine. He brought it over to my house and we did some minor adjustments and inspection and flew it! Pete took a number of pictures while I tooled around the yard but with low light and a moving heli, this was the only shot in reasonable focus.

It did fly very well and for about 4 months I owned it. Pete wanted it back and shortly he put it up on eBay. I only flew it the one time Pete was here with the Mini. It sat otherwise. Enjoy the heli, it's a good one.

So many heli's - too little time...

Was my second collective pitch heli. Pretty cool concept in mixing. However, I always felt it was a bit heavy in the air.

Hi HHC

Yes that pic does ring a bell

I thought the heli belonged to you at one time

I think Pete gave me some of the history of the heli if I remember right
