Here is a video of a RC Heli Expert showing a well known tech media blogger about his new helicopter hobby. Of course I had to let her know that we too have expert contributions from the RC Heli Community. Watch and enjoy. I have never seen training gear that big….I actually have never seen it on any helicopter larger than a .30.

Watch this insane video, though I already knew that shoooting a flying RC plane or a helicopter is hard,  this is really insane, but also is fun to watch!

Well I seem to have a passion for collecting things in the various hobbies I have.  In RC Helis I collect fueling systems, canopies and starters.  Not sure what my obsession with support equipment is but I don’t think that there is enough quality and attention is directed to these products.

I have always hated with a passion electric fuel pumps…and MOST hand hand pumps as well for nitro fuel.  I have NEVER had and electric or gasoline pump that hasn’t gumed up, handle broke or just plain didn’t work.  Slimline and Sullivan seem to be on the cuttin edge of making these products better but a new player in the field is evolving, Jersey Modeler.

I contacted them because I knew of another helicopter pilot who used their 2.5 gallon electric system so I called and ordered one.  Since I absolutely hate electric fuel pump system I opted for the 2.5 gallon MANUAL PUMP system.  The salesperson talked me into getting the electric system (a smaller one…the 1.3 gallon) for special price so I thought I would try it to see if they could change my mind about electric pump systems.

They asked my which radio system I owned as the pump didn’t include a charger but I could use my transmtter charger to charge it.

I know you have have seen this video but we found a better resolution copy. The sound isn’t that great but its because he is so far away but the video quality is acceptable.
