Hi Chris - Well I've always fancied having a small heli for the garden when I can't be bothered going up to the pond - but I reckon subs will be more interesting in the long run - speaking of which have you seen the web site www.northseasfleet.co.uk they're now selling ready to go static divers for around £300 with fitted dive tank. There's no radio gear with them but I've got plenty of that now - just need another Hitec receiver and a speed controller - I've got two or three spares servos already. It's something I'm thinking about already to save building one. I haven't done my sea trials with Seawolf yet - it's been too darn cold around here to stand about round our draughty pond - maybe next week. The wife say she wants to go with me to see the maiden voyage in case it submerges and disappears for good (how's that for confidence in my modelling skills?) Anyway as far as the heli goes I've seen a good offer with some spare blades thrown in but whether or not I go for it will depend on any reports I get. Sunk any good targets this week?

Ian
