As some of you know I just returned from Iraq the end of last year and now I have a friend who is over there. He is a Medevac pilot and he is looking for a Heli. He has a Blade CP but he's looking for something a bit more stable he can fly outdoors. I think the boredom has set in and luckily in his profession when he's not busy thats a GOOD THING !

Thanks for all the offers but I decided to get him a kit, and see if anyone wanted to donate some stuff. Now that he knows the kit is on the way he has bought a Radio, RX, Gyro, and Servo's so the radio gear is covered.


Here is whats been sent so far :

Align 450 SE with motor and ESC
Astro 109 Charger
PB6 Balancer with TP connections
Hex Drivers
Screw Drivers
Loctite
Pitch Guage ( Its full size but will work )
RX Battery and BEC ( Need a voltage step down for the Gyro servo )

Pro Main Blades
Pack of Main Shafts
Pack of spindle shafts
Tail Blades
Pack of Flybars
RC Heli Magazines

Things we still need

Tail Booms
Batteries
Deans Connectors
Anything else you 450 Guru's might think he needs.

PM me or E-mail me and I'll send you his address if you have anything you care to contribute, this will definately make his tour of duty in Iraq a bit more bearable.....

Thanks Craig

On another note I will throw this out there ..

If you have any spare 450 parts laying around that you would care to donate to a good cause ie Soldier in Iraq, let me know and I'll give you his adress, he is an awesome guy and got me started in RC when we were stationed together in Germany. Now I am trying to sway him from the planker side, especially since he flys full scale Blackhawks

Ahh ok, I was in the 498th and was just wondering if I knew him. I was a Blackhawk Crewchief and we were in Tikrit the second time and Ali Al Salem the first time for the kick off of the war. Good luck brother.

PM me tell me some parts that he needs. Would typical crash kits work? I will personally buy a portion of them myself from the local hobby. Just a simple way a man can give thinks for his sacrifices.
