Thank you very much. I had such a good time at the demonstration event and was the busiest pilot that day, flying four times with my three helis. Here they are lined up and ready to fly. The tension wheel was perfect and the 500MD TD flys like a dream. If the wind was only less than 25kmh, sigh. I had to land the 500 and 350 nose in on two of the four flights. The Jet Ranger was tossed around like a cork on the water by a serious wind tunnel effect caused by a valley at the north end of the field. I never knew about it and hope I never get caught unprepared for it like I was. It actually turned all three of them around to the left at least once per flight. Scary. Take care.

PS: Two other scale helicopters that were there but not flown. Funny that they are nearly the same as two of mine, lol.
