This site originated back in 2001 after I purchased my first micro heli (Ikarus Piccolo) and began learning to fly helicopters. It then evolved ( as I did) to cover my further interest in RC helicopters and other RC models such as tanks and boats, together with my son's interest in RC cars the site soon filled up with lots of info. Since then its expanded and now covers all my hobbies and interests, something of a blog but still very much based on RC and Modeling interests. I'm hoping that the trend will continue and that the site will still be of interest to all those who visit it. I welcome any comments or requests and try to reply within 48 hrs of receiving e-mails.

I've been busy of late (hence the delay in updating this site), undertaking probably the 1st internal belt drive modification to an HEQ5. Well I'm pleased to say that having now ironed out the small bugs the mount has been running with good results. I've received a lot a interest and from an early stage was asked if I would think about producing a kit. I'm pleased to say that I've looked into this and I'm now able make a kit availble.

The kit includes:

The cost of the the kit is £80.00 (via paypal) and includes 1st class recorded delivery. Please note that as each mount will slightly vary there may be some requirement for a slight modification to the motor plates (filing the slots a bit more). Also that this modification is not suitable for use with the Synscan handset as the custome 4:1 gear ratio is not supported by the handset. If you use a laptop / computer running EQMOD then you will be fine.

If you are interested in purchasing a kit for your HEQ5 or want to know more about the benefits please drop me an e-mail (malcolm.crabbe (at) micro-heli (dot) co (dot) uk ).
