Steve,I would never Knock a product if it has proven to fly well.The LMH
is strange to me because I have always flown machines with auto rotate
features. It must fly well because of the write ups in the mags.
If it gets people into the hobby than that is great.

If it twists to one side(during throttle up) more than likely the tail rotor
hasn't gotten up to speed.If it does it from a hover than the tail mix or
acc. mix is off.

Of course they are. You are flying and they are not.

A wind gust will do it every time. You either try to save it or flip the 
throttle hold,watch it do a 360, and try to save it that way.Either way
your :( :( :(.
 SR>         Any major mishaps ??
No not really. I haven't had a chance to fly at the field yet because I have 
been so busy. I am setting up a Bell 47 for a friend of mine with a radio
problem. It took off by itself but I saved it by holding it on the ground
by the rotors top button. DON'T EVER TRY THAT!!!. It was the most stupid
thing I have ever done.It worked with no problem but it was STUPID.
This machine is the pride and joy of this guy and now way was I going to 
let it get away. I am going to strap it down to the ground this weekend
and see if I helped it Any.
 SR>                 Keep in touch, kinda nice to have someone to talk to
 SR> about heli's
Your darn tootin it is. Call me anytime. When I get back to the field
I'll be able to get in the swing again. Then we will have a lot to talk about 
then (GRIN).
                          Keep the skids down while landing
