I can see static being a bigger issue with a CF boom. .....not so much with aluminum like I have.
I'm already prepared to run a ground wire if I need one. I already knew about ground rods for full size aircraft. During my time in service, we...
Aside from the obvious fact that rotors and moving air create potential static in general...... I've read different things about static...
This looks oddly familiar. :p

The hard parts I bought from Wowhobbies.com (US warehouse for CopterX) came in sets of 2 and 4 pcs. And yes, I intend to keep my eyes open for...

The Heli may be old technology, but parts are plentiful and cheap. I just received a package I ordered: 1 main gear 2 AR/tail gears 2 sets of skid...
It was more my own fault for flying in less than optimal conditions.
Straightness was the main concern. That stock gear was definitely not concentric, AR gear was no better, replacing it too. I'll probably order a...
