Hey bigdeal welcome to the messageboard! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I know there're at least two other fliers in the Netherlands - Legal_Civic and Procopter - they may have a look at this thread soon and invite you round!

Sweet looking heli! Remember if you have any questions, no matter how silly they may sound, post it here and we'll all do our best to help out! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thank's hogster.

At this time i have a lot of questions, but i want to figure it out by myself and read other messages on this board before i ask help.
But i've seen lots of nice stuff here that is gonna help me.

I know there are more pic flyers in holland.
There is a sort of meeting 23 november in delft.
They have hired a sportshall to fly.
I know i’m going, i need lots of space, lots of it

The only thing i know is that the meeting is 23 November.
And it's in a sports hall nearby the TU in Delft.
they will be there between 10:00 and 12:00 in the morning.
This is told me in the store (www.quartel.nl) where i bought te picco.
This morning i was there to tune the picco by the guy who helped me.
Perhaps you can contact them.
He said “I can't miss it”, so i will see next week.
Perhaps if you go also we can meat each other.

Yeah, i've manage to get my picco in the air (almost 1 sec)

Then i hit the chair.
I lost my bearings [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
But i found out that the bearing in the rotor head are the same ones that are in the hex-rotor. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
I'm glad that i put ball bearins in the hex rotor, so i've a spare couple of the plasic bearings.
Thank god, other wise I was grounded within my first attempt. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I try to glue a little stroke of a tie-rip on to the pin that is holding the bearing.
That wasn’t to work, because the strokes won’t holding when I attempt to cutting these at the right length to fit in the rotor head.
I waited till the glue was dry, and now I can’t get the bearings lose.
Maybe they won’t flip off again when my rotor head pops off
I’m glad that the bearings still turning and that they not glued to the pin. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Probably the glue works as a collar on the pin.
Perhaps it's a tip for someone ?
