Oh dear, boredom and ebay don't go together, the dark side has lured me and I have now just bought a Hirobo Shuttle 30 size nitro! :roll: Don't know what the hell the wife is gonna say when my new addition to the fleet turns up before I get back from Kuwait!!

Still, looking forward to my first flight on a larger model without having to worry about batteries!

hey thats not the dark side :)

thats a very nice heli.... If Nitro wasnt such a pain in the ass i would get one but bringin nitro down here is a pain (i know this from boating days) and tuning them down here in this hot weather is even more of a nightmare.

Nice heli though, congrats..

Well at £130 it's not really a bank breaker, that is with CSM 310 gyro too (around £55 new) with starter and sanwa radio equipment (will soon put an AR6200 in tho) and an Irvine 34 engine, If I collect it from Warwickshire then it will be totally RTF as he will set it up with me.

Can't wait to get home now :D
