I was thinking the 610s and 620 maybe donated
Ah okay cool. If something like this happens, I would want everyone to keep their eyes out for a 655 for the tail. The 620 is what I was thinking about putting on the throttle so it's fast enough for the Gov to keep the engine where it needs to be. I would even settle for a 650 on the tail.
DONATED!!?? WOW Jesse! Thats huge bro! lol
I cant believe this site.. People are so generous helpful and friendly.. lol. I was one of the first members on this site.. and man! still amazed by its members.. !
I WAS the first member of this site, and every single member on here amazes me. I still can't believe that we could all band together like this and make this happen. Simply amazing!
Tony; Been reading lots of posts but can't figure out what the site is buying for a new Helicopter YET! ? BOKIE 11:05 AM TUESDAY ILLINOIS TIME! ????
That was the point. Suspense drives suspicion lol.
It's top secret till the videos start coming or when they finally settle on a deal! Tony would like to get the Align but might settle on something else if that something else is an Align, LOL!!!!! They are also trying to get a nitro if possible.
Lmao, I love that. Very well put and so totally true. I was stuck on either a Rage (there was no way we could afford a Rage) or an Align. And this is a $1200 deal that we got for $379! Talk about a deal. Now we just need to find a DFC head for it!
Well we need to be kept informed! We're not going to seal the deal! We just want to know what's going on! Lol
Yeah, but keeping you guys in the dark was so much fun though lmao.
Well, let me know when I can cancel the want-ads at the LHS.
As gaba stated below, Cancel all orders on all Heli's. However, we are still in need of servos and spare parts.
Allright Tony, when is the roadtrip to go pick it up? Gaba aint that far away and we could have a mini RC-Help.com funfly down there.
What kind of fun fly? We watch and have fun drinking beer and whiskey while Gaba has fun flying? Do you remember that you and I have NOTHING flying right now? lmao.
Exactly my point!! Tony should drive his butt here and get it!!! He is chicken ing out of driving people !!! Now lets see if we can make him drive here..
Fly safe!!
have fun!
No, I'm not chicken on driving down there, it's the damn near $100 just in gas for me to get down there and back. I'm broke as a joke!!!
Heck tony, I'll drive and you can sleep.
That will NEVER happen. I have issues with not being in control of things. That is why I will not fly. I drive everywhere because I'm in control of the vehicle. Putting my life in someone elses hands is just not going to happen lmao.
I'm not so sure about that. Not unless someone wants to ship me some Zanny Bars lmao.
Wow looks like a clean bird from just that one picture. If i had some $$$ i would by the 600 that my friend has for sale here. Then i can learn Nitro stuff as well.
What is the heli which you speak of? If it's a good deal, jump on it. Lets get some nitros in the air on this forum!
Yup yup!
. But also flybared lol. Fixing to be DFC if I can find the head.
heck yes good job gaba on getting it i think it was a awesome deal in will work great for the build videos that tony is going to have to make now
once it is done we will have to get together and meet up with him and put it in the air

I want to thank every one that has put in on the RC-Help Helicopter this will come to help alot of new comers to the heli world and for the ones that want to go from elc. to nitro
and it is not even fished it still in need of parts and odds and ends pretty sure tony will put up a list after he inspects it so dont think you mist out on being a part of the RC Help heli anything you want to donate is welcome from parts to money whatever can go to the RC Help Heli its never to late
and once again thank you to those who have already helped out with the getting of the heli
If I have to wait for everyone to show up here before I can fly this, it's going to drive me nuts lmao. But we may have to work something out. My time off is not looking that great for the near future.
And I'm with Jesse on all of this. Thank you all for your donations. More below.
Ahh, so Gaba did talk the guy out of the heli, NICE!!!!!!!!!!!
I"m not sure how, but he got the deal that we thought was gone for good! Simply amazing at the deals this guy can find!
Better upgrade those gears in the tail with those awesome black ones that are made out of Unobtainium.
Gaba is already dogging me on what I"m going to do to the gears. Dude did it in a VIDEO. Yup, it's GAME ON NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent, I glade you were to work the deal. Once it's re-built I want some grass cutting
. I cant wait to see the videos on this re-furbish project. I hope it is like the TMaxx series.
The only way I will cut grass or do blades scrapes with this heli is if I have another set of blades sitting here waiting. Remember, this is a 600 size heli, with 600mm blades, that cost a minimum of $80 a set. Not something that I want to mess up because I wanted to turn them green lmao.
But I wanted to thank everyone for each and every dollar that was donated. I wish everyone would have put it out there what they donated so I could post their name in the videos as well as on the heli. I have to give credit where it's due, and it's killing me that I can't do it with some of the donations. I'm sure I will "slip" in one of the videos though lmao.
The fact that we were able to get this heli is just amazing. I thought it was gone, same with Gaba and Jesse. Speaking of Jesse, Major thanks to you bro for finding this deal. I don't think we would ever find another deal like this. And a Major thanks to Gaba for sealing the deal being the "annoying deal maker" that it took to get the heli.
Now I just have to get this heli in my hands and start going through it to figure out how to make the videos. I still dont' know how I'm going ot do them yet. Ideas are welcome on what you want to see.
And the cheapest way for me to get this heli in my hands is to pay for shipping. It's only about $20 to ship it, but almost $100 to drive down there and back. So we are just going to ship this heli. Trust me, we will have a fun fly somewhere and we will all meet. There will be a 6 month notice to all members so you can make your plans. However, don't expect anything like this until at least 2014. There is a lot to get together before we can pull that off.
Thanks again everyone, step 1 is now complete. Now on to step 2!
