   What is the "out-in" knob on the bottom of the panel.

   You said the rotor blades were shipped back for balancing.  Did they send them to you for fitting to the rotor hub, or what?

   Eddie-    There will be a red out under the "out" ,,,stands for out of gear.   There will be a green light under the "in"...stands for in gear.

   I had to make and bond the 16 doubler plates to the rotorblades.  They are being milled down to fit the blade grips.

   Stan, if the "360" is for your stairs and the "SF" for your initials...pretty slick.

   Mongo-   You are VERY observant.   The N360SF is of course my N number.   The SF are my initials....and the 360 was chosen because I am constantly going in circles....either building stairways...or flying.   That is my number and I love it!

   I have received a few e-mails on the progress of my little helicopter. 

   I attached a link where I spend 95% of my internet time at.

   This is really fun Stan, thanks for your time.

    No one should regard themselve as "God's gift to man." But rather a mere man whos gifts are from God.
