Hi,

I am a newbie to RC helicopters and recently purchased a GY401 gyro. To my surpirse, when I open up the package there was a label saying that the GY401 contain chemicals that can cause cancer. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?

You can thank California for that... EVERYTHING causes cancer there.

I wouldn't worry about the warning one bit.

Don't be mistaken..................anything R/C Heli related causes cancer of the wallet!

P.S.....don't eat your 401 and you shouldn't have any problems. Unless you're in the Republik of Kalifornia.....

these days breathing causes cancer

The bottom line is there are chemicals in circuit boards that are known to cause cancer. Just about anything you buy these days that has a circuit board in it will have this warning label now.

Dont worry it wont give you cancer unless you open it up and try to eat the circuit board

Great, now they tell me not to eat my 401 Gyro.

It is quite a delicacy with some sautéed onions and butter sauce.

Mmmm....

Just kidding, most circuit boards contain lead, such as the solder or components. Handling a circuit board and not washing your hands and then eating, or eating the lead or circuit board can cause cancer. Understand that this is over a long period of time.

Mental note: don't eat the gyro.

Thanks :wink:

I wouldnt even worry about caner if I ate a 401, I would worry more about how it was gonna pass!

Skiddz · 12-09-2007, 11:15 PM

You'd better hope the biz end of your butt was properly alinged before it initialized or you might miss the bowl when the gyro tried to restore your.. umm.. heading.

oldskool · 12-09-2007, 11:39 PM

Then again, why would you eat your 401? Especially when the 611 has a much better flavor (not to mention the presentation). I have yet to sample the 770, but I hear they are delicious....

Ok, Stop Picking on the guy,, There are no stupid questions.
Like I always say,
Give a Man a Match, He'll be warm for a Day.
Set a Man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life..

PS. Circuit boards taste like crap..

istandalone · 12-10-2007, 08:14 AM

stay away from telebee and esky gyros. they leave a bitter aftertaste and are a bit rough on the bowels coming out. worse then unchewed peanuts....

epl · 12-10-2007, 12:40 PM

I think you should pay attention to the warning label and send me the 401 so you do not get cancer.

LOL
I think you'd find new meanings for 'Tail Holding Power'

Tri-flow might help, but may cause localized minor discomfort. Loctite would be contra-indicated.

Randallhurd · 12-10-2007, 02:36 PM

Yep, I think we're on to something here.

Here's the Headlines.
"Ground breaking Medical Research on Helifreak overturns Califonia policy on use of Warning labels, overturned by Pilot".

The gyro is not only delicious but after you eat it in head hold mode, you can walk straight and your tail will point where you want it to. Just be sure to adjust the gain properly, or your tail will wag or you can blow out your tail in some tough maneuvers.
