The tail always seems to spin left or right. There is a trim adjustment knob on the controller, but no matter how many times I adjust it, the tail rotor continues to push the helicopter to spin. I can however use the direction control lever to reduce to rate of spin.</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Even if this micro RC helicopter is a mere toy, I have to admit I have had quite a bit of fun with it. </span></span></p> </span></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoYhnT923HEYpi_dEfyXizUEleiO2deRy88d8-VDh4z5T2eqM6jpkb8fcPaKMgFhhjLp_gjmN_oWOp-vhQ3Clke11GUQxKyzjNuUaDlR1zkWfhNG4IA2Adygp-di1sFMqZRm8/s1600-h/Mini+Helicopter+SIJ+Blog+002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoYhnT923HEYpi_dEfyXizUEleiO2deRy88d8-VDh4z5T2eqM6jpkb8fcPaKMgFhhjLp_gjmN_oWOp-vhQ3Clke11GUQxKyzjNuUaDlR1zkWfhNG4IA2Adygp-di1sFMqZRm8/s400/Mini+Helicopter+SIJ+Blog+002.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303366157086024882" /></a><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In the photo above the white box on the red label reads </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">sekai saishoukyuu</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, which translates as “world’s smallest” in English.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1YyLt5u0hEfUm7Wt2NrLu8_jfV6Y2g0bRO_qAxY7GA8k63dn_HAzzmhILU09gyA7ANDXkPEeTflHwoAAYh2z66YwcIoHES8ZSp8sk7PaOLxe8ETwsL4EhB406bkGtxesO2hE1/s1600-h/Mini+Helicopter+SIJ+Blog+003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1YyLt5u0hEfUm7Wt2NrLu8_jfV6Y2g0bRO_qAxY7GA8k63dn_HAzzmhILU09gyA7ANDXkPEeTflHwoAAYh2z66YwcIoHES8ZSp8sk7PaOLxe8ETwsL4EhB406bkGtxesO2hE1/s400/Mini+Helicopter+SIJ+Blog+003.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303366156733609570" /></a></div><div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As you can see above, the helicopter fits snugly in the remote’s body.

I was rather surprised to find two. After looking at the back of the box again I discovered that one is male and the other is female. The male Mothra has red eyes and the female Mothra has blue eyes. Also, the Mothra “man” has a slightly movable three segment body, while the female is solid. Blah blah blah... okay as you can see in the photo they look pretty disgusting, not something I will be displaying anywhere soon. </span></span></p> </span></div>Zentarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18151376930164917186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10801252.post-73801496391011457522009-02-11T21:18:00.006+09:002009-02-18T09:23:35.615+09:00White Gyoza<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlowc2b8k1GZr6i4r0ZeZJiOpmZDHZRotR5PuCYkuJVajt81CwpLnsrqh0xZJaGhaYuNmDK0QONlblFBpnpDgvL8rv3sYrEG8FJ-TfR2ZbJXlNcrBebj0g00IYEnGCcUQ97C6p/s1600-h/White+Gyoza+Kashiwa+SIJ+Blog+002.jpg"><img style="display:block;
