| Probably sitting in a cinema RJ with the camera pointed at the screen ? then someone stands up and appears in the film as well !!
There will always be pirates,I only want the original genuine DVD that someone has worked hard to produce,and above all deserves the rewards for the risks they undertook in producing the film.
Producing those replicas alone cost a small fortune.
Let us know if you see it on the shelves,thank you RJ.

| Wonwings diary-Apache helicopters with Singapore Air Force-Official The Apache attack squadron was officially inaugurated at Sembawang Air Base on Monday, adding a new dimension to the Singapore Armed Forces war-fighting capabilities.
It will enhance the SAF's third-generation capability, especially in integrated operations between the air force and army.
Armed with the Longbow radar and Hellfire missiles, the AH-64D Apache helicopters pack a mean punch.
These lean, mean fighting machines proved their mettle during Exercise Forging Sabre in the Mojave Desert last year.
While the Peace Vanguard detachment remains in the US for training, Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean said that it was also timely to establish the squadron in Singapore to train and operate in Singapore's own environment.
So Sembawang Airbase is now home to the 120 Squadron.
Minister Teo said: "The Apache attack helicopters bring the SAF a true third-generation capability as they seamlessly integrate with fighter aircraft, sensors such as unmanned aerial vehicles, artillery, armour and troops on the ground. The networking of the various systems and platforms will give the SAF a quantum leap in total capability.
And the squadron is looking forward to the challenges ahead.
LTC Sew Chun Liang, Commanding Officer of RSAF's 120 Squadron, said: The aircraft is already network-ready now. What we need to do to move ahead is to do more training, more integration with our SAF, especially the army units, to maximise the potential of the aircraft, in order to achieve in the future what SAF needs in the 3G transformation.
The Apache attack helicopters will make their first official appearance over the skies of Singapore at this year's National Day Parade fly-past.
There are also plans for the helicopters to take part in Exercise Wallaby in Australia at the end of the year.

| Wonwings diary-Jet Fighter flying on the cheap. http://www.brchobbies.com/?page=shop...09fd4d8244feeb
You do not need to spend thousands of pounds or dollars on jet turbines to enjoy flying modern jet fighters,there is another excellent way to get airborne,take a look at the video above,small depren Eurofighters doing everything that jets are good at.
Note also the low speed handling characteristics of these small models.

| absolutly boody marvalous!!!!
argh barry now youv gone and done it!!!!
Im getting myself one of them!!!
...although it seems like the kit comes with everything needed by the way they have worded it. But it does not say exactly what is in the kit (like does it come with a transmitter, or all the rest of the electronics for that matter!!!)
an e-mail is going there way.
thanks for the link Barry!!! |

| ***RJ,Great eh ! pity that we did not live closer because we could rip the sky up with these,the kits are minus the radio,you will need somer micro servos,these are cheap enough these days you can get deals on multiple buys,best thing to do is approach a shop and ask them to sell you a radio set with micro receiver and servos,even approach BRC they will probably be able to do a deal,you will have hours of fun with one of these little buzz bombs,they wqill also tolerate a bit of breeze better than the slow flying models.

| Micro Radio sets. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/hitec.htm
(See model HTR48725)
Here is a good one,or a cheaper way perhaps would be to buy a standard Transmitter,a Jeti mini Receiver with BEC ( Battery elimination circuitry) and three/four micro servos,have a word with Midland Helicopters,Hinckley for a good deal on the Jeti and servos,you will need a lithium 2 cell pack and a compatible speed controller ( lithium batteries should not be run flat and these controllers cut off the motor when a certain voltage is detected ) so to re-cap you will need-
Jeti BEC Receiver ( RX)
A standard 3 to 4 function Transmitter
3 to 4 Micro servos
P-Extra-Air 14 Electronic Speed Controller (ESC)
Lithium 2 cell pack 7.4 800 mamp
Dedicated Charger for the battery
State these when you ask for a quote,dont forget that they can be swopped from model to model,I use a module board which screws into different models,all you need to do then is connect up the linkages to the controls.
Dont worry the insructions are self explanatory,and above all you will get unlimited support here when screwing in the radio etc.
