anytime, To be on the safe side, I really don't trust HK anymore in case of helicopters. These are dangerous things to fly and with HK's quality! I rather not fly them, but there is a catch when buying from HK, try to get the align compatible kit,also the motor, ESC and other electronics, but replace the main gears, tail gears, main shaft holder, tail shaft holder with the Align ones, you will not regret. Well, I learned, this the hard way.

Dorwin, I am truly overwhelmed by what you had to say. I didn't see it that way till now.

As far as the unpleasant bit is concerned, let it slide. The people in question are / were dear friends and we will put all this behind us soon, I hope. They stood by me and looked after me in trying times not too long ago.

Out of the 658 participants, even if 1 takes up the hobby with equal passion, the effort involved will be deemed as successful.

All is well that ends well.............

Hmm, Its best the people do not put their personal differences out in a public forum. Specially since 99% of the forum members may personally know any of the warring parties but end up getting involved in some way or other.

well said and i am sure there will be a lot of kids inspired by this camp... great work VC

Thanks Sujju Bhai. AVS is a progressive school and I am already in consultation with them for add on workshops. Possibly as early as Nov / Dec 2011. We are also talking about a Hovercraft / Boat modelling camp soon. Let's hope these work out.

Pankaj C - please note my request to Controlflyer in post # 101.
