Thanks for the info Mo.
On another topic: I received my used, "non-working" , RTF kit today that I bought off Ebay. $50 for a busted Genius missing two servos, charger, battery, new blades, and Devo 7.
First thing I did was test the tx with my Genius so I can relist it and get some of my cash back. The programming is so out of whack that the heli won't even lift off. (unless you flip to stunt mode - in which case it won't lift off till you drop the stick to -0-. Then it shoots up like a rocket. Decided to end that experiment before I wreck my baby. I'll erase the "new" tx and copy my program over to it before testing it again.
Next I turned to the heli. Other then the missing servos and broken tail fin,(which I new about) I found a weak spot on the skid frame (big surprise ). After transplanting two servos from my good Genius I installed a battery and powered up.
It lifted off, but it was like trying to balance a top, and would randomly take a dive every 10 seconds. Took a closer look and all the adjustments on the board were maxed out in one direction or the other. Set every thing to 50% and gave it another go.
This time everything went well until I flipped into stunt mode and the heli started shaking violently. Either a bent shaft or I noticed there's a ton of slop in the feathering shaft. Took the entire shaft / swash / head from the good Genius and donated it. Spooled up again and all is perfect now. I happen to have a new feathering shaft and a whole head assembly if needed. So I'll see if that's the problem, otherwise I'll order a shaft and a set of servos and I've got myself a second Genius.
If I can get $40 for the tx that should cover the servos and shaft. I also picked up a case from Harbor freight yesterday on sale for $22. I'll post pics later.

New head cleared it all up. Also, Harbor Freight has padded cases on sale right now for $22. I picked one up on Sun and fit my two Genius and my Devo 7 in it.

I was doing some more gyro testing today in high wind and it seems I was wrong with what I posted before. I think the transmitted gyro sensitivity affects all the gyros, not just the tail.
The effect was much more noticeable when I started playing with the gyro pots on the RX board. I'm still not 100% sure what these do compared to the transmitted gyro sensitivity. Could one set how strong the gyros hold and the other acts like a "rate" setting that lowers the sensitivity with more stick input? (I'm basing my theories on my quad experience so I have no idea if I'm even close)
PS. flying these little CP heli's with lots of wind is not fun. Sometimes a strong gust would come through making it drop 4 or 5 feet and it did not have the power to recover very well. I spent more time trying to recover from the altitude changes than actually flying.

As best as I could decifer from the manual, it seems adjusting the pots on the board will increase or decrease the servo response time to stick input. I haven't messed with them yet except on the "new" one I got which I just set them all to 50% because they were all over the place.

Trick to flying in wind is to keep moving. The faster the better. The helicopter handles like an airplane then and moves up and down faster by pulling back on the stick. It actually doesn't matter any more if there's wind or not when I go flying
|Dec 19, 2012, 10:29 PM
I still like wind flying with 911 better. Less repair time.

Sounds good. I'd like to try a Bravo SX motor in the GCP too.

BTW: If you try a 911 motor, put a drop of glue on the pinion before pushing it into the motor shaft. I had one slip off twice today. Luckily I was indoors over a nice clean wood floor or I would have never found it.
|Dec 21, 2012, 05:28 PM
So what is the difference in pinions ie. 911, 260a, SX, versus stock GCP pinion?
Can you use the pinions that come with these motors or should one replace them with the G pinion?

Here is a pic of the v911 pinion gear resting atop the Genius gear.

AH, Thanks for the visual, and the explanation. So it is to change pinions when using another motor in the G, I see.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Final: Pacers 125, Bucks 104
The Milwaukee Bucks had hoped to come out of their three games in three days stretch with two wins, especially after how well they played the night before in Charlotte and given this final game against Indiana was at home in the Bradley Center.
But Milwaukee couldn't maintain the same level of play on Saturday night while it seemed like the Indiana Pacers couldn't miss. Indiana beat Milwaukee, 125-104, dropping the Bucks to a 22-26 record. They now have a day to rest and regroup before another big showdown against the Knicks at New York on Monday.
Indiana maintained its comfortable halftime lead and just added to it in the third quarter. After George Hill drained a three-pointer from the corner and gave the Pacers the 72-61 lead, the Bucks called a timeout to slow the Pacers.
It didn't work. Danny Granger (15 points) knocked them down. Roy Hibbert (16) continued a steady scoring pace. Then with Hill hitting free throws and threes, the Pacers climbed to a 21 point lead at 92-71. The only highlight from the Bucks perspective in the third quarter was a Brandon Jennings steal and then buzzer-beating launch more than half the court for a good three- pointer.
Still, Indiana took a 92-76 lead in to the fourth quarter and Milwaukee's defense couldn't really stop anyone. Indiana was 7 of 12 from the three-point line at 58.8%; 51 % from the field.
That might have led to some frustration. Mike Dunleavy was charged with a flagrant foul against his old team and Tyler Hansbrough. But Hansbrough, who looked like he'd been hit in the eye, missed both free throws. Dunleavy and Hansbrough then received double technical fouls (Duke vs. North Carolina) and were still debating the play as Hill took the free throw shots (making one).
When Leandro Barbosa sank a pair of free throws, the Pacers already had 101 points with 9 minutes and 41 seconds left.
The scoring leaders were Ersan Ilyasova for the Bucks with 22 points. Hill came off the bench to score 24 points while four other Pacers scored in double figures. The Bucks were outrebounded 49-37 but had 30 assists collectively.

Decent place to live in bad neighborhood. Rent there is similar to what we are paying for a slightly smaller l Read Moreocation in Hilliard (much nicer neighborhood). However, in the larger units at Ashley Village, the apartments are hooked up to TWO ELECTRIC METERS. That's two sets of fees, taxes, use costs, etc. We were paying well over $350/mo in electricity. Prior to and since living there, our electric bill is under $150/mo. Also, be very very detailed on your move-in survey.

Personal Injury Lawyer Larry Disparti Says Google Nexus Tablet Matches His Law Firm's Mission
The Disparti Law Group now provides clients with Google Nexus tablets to help them assist in building cases for obtaining personal injury compensation.
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) February 23, 2013
Larry Disparti, a personal injury lawyer serving clients throughout Florida and Illinois, explained today why his firm has switched from providing clients with the Apple iPad to loaning to them Google Nexus tablets during the course of their case.
Disparti said his firm, The Disparti Law Group, P.A., is calling the program the "Client Recovery Maximizer System©."
"We found that the integration of Google´s Nexus tablet with Google features like Gmail, Google docs and chat, as well as the Google calendaring feature, make the Nexus tablet more useful for our purposes," said Disparti, founder of the Disparti Law Group, P.A, which has offices in Chicago and the Tampa-St. Petersburg area of Florida.
"Our firm´s mission is to help our clients to recover compensation for the injuries they have suffered, and we need for them to have the ability to readily contact and assist us as their attorneys," he added. "The Google Nexus tablet fits our mission perfectly. While the iPad certainly has many great uses, we simply find that the tablet suits our firm better."
The Disparti Law Group recently began the program of loaning to each of the law firm´s clients a Google Nexus tablet. Disparti said the devices should enable clients to:
- Communicate with the firm´s attorneys through dedicated email accounts
- Take photos and record video of their injuries and recovery
- Keep up with doctors´ and lawyers´ appointments.
Much of the video content, including a diary of the client´s recovery and interviews with family members, can be used to compile video demand packages and strengthen the client´s position when negotiating for a settlement, Disparti said.
Disparti cited a Consumer Reports review that said the 16GB Nexus 10 equals the iPad in most areas of performance and has a slightly larger display.
A Los Angeles Times comparison of the Nexus 10, the iPad and Microsoft´s Surface said the Nexus 10 consistently loaded Web pages faster than its rivals and noted that it is lighter and thinner than the iPad. The Times rated the iPad higher for video and sound quality and said it has access to more games than the Nexus.
Disparti said his firm has found that the Nexus is a more cost-effective choice with a price point about $100 lower than the iPad and the Surface.
"The attributes of the Nexus are what we hope prospective clients are looking for in a law firm," Disparti said. "The Disparti Law Group is dedicated to its work and to delivering services to clients as efficiently as possible.
"And, as our switch from the iPad to the Nexus tablet demonstrates, we examine the facts and go where the evidence leads. We´re not afraid to reexamine the common wisdom or our previous conclusions."
About Disparti Law Group, P.A.

Hi all,
I'm wanting to find out of others thoughts and experiences with this educational software program.
We had someone come out and run us though it and in theory, it looks and sounds fantastic! Yes, it's extremely expensive, but the program runs for all the childs school years and used for both my girls.
My concern is that it's a lot of money and you'd need to ensure that your kids are using it 30 mins x 3 times a week to see improvements. Therefore, I'm going to have to enforce it to be done over and above their school homework. What are my chances? I guess if you sent them to a tuitor once a week that would take up the same amount of time at around $60 a pop. So, I'm sure you're all wondering how much?? Well we are going with the payment program of $43 per week x 4 years (around 10K) for the kindy - year 10 program. You can get the 11-12 later if we want them.
The program has a free hotline that the child can call with any homework or assignment questions and they help them through it. That's the part I loved.
Anyway, I want to hear from others that have any experience with it. We have 10 days to pull out of it, if we change our mind.
Posted 02 February 2013 - 07:23 AM
I think that whether or not you use this program will depend on age or year level - ie, if they're in grade one or thereabouts, you probably can't be sure they need it. For example, looking at the ages of your children, I would think it would be more useful to consult with the school and work with your kids where they need it.
And doing it over schoolwork is a mistake. Homework is (meant to be) set to align itself with what's being taught in school - it would be pointless doing units of division in the program while your kids are still working on learning multiplication in class.
If you were just using it to supplement school work (including homework) then fair enough. But not in place of.
There are some simpler (and much, much cheaper) alternatives - for example, Mathletics for Maths kids love and is certainly nowhere near the 10k mark.

Do / will your children need tutoring for most of their schooling?? That seems to be the premise.
I'm a teacher and theres is no way I would be spending $10,000 on a product I'm not sure I'll need. I would prefer to pay for tutoring if and when required.

We have it for DS (thanks to DH being the one who was home for the demo & DS managed to talk him into it). I don't recommend it at all. The "free" hotline was only free for the first year as they put a subscription for a year into it (DH also thought it was free on an ongoing basis but maybe this has changed) and after then you had to pay extra. It hasn't aligned itself to the work DS has been doing in class because he went well ahead, particularly in the maths part. In that first year that we had the hotline/tutor support it was never used so we didn't pay extra to have it.
Overall I don't think it did anything additional for DS's education that he couldn't get from the cheaper options such as Mathletics and now that we don't have the computer it was initially installed on haven't bothered over 6 months getting it installed on the new computer (you have to get them to instal on a new computer for you rather than giving you a way of self-installation - wouldn't surprise me if they hit you with a fee for that too).

Sounds great in theory but it is one expensive waste of time.
We have had no end of software trouble that took weeks to get fixed & cost us money
there are so many mistakes it the program its not funny
The tutors are never available
The tutoring is only free for the first year.
The programs are way too different to the curriculum & so much is not relevant especially in high school
In all it was an very very expensive lesson that we learnt.
Try mathletics or similar where you only have a small yearly fee (or in our case you get a membership through school)
Edited to ad... Please cancel & use your money to get one on one tutoring at relevant times if needed it is so much better than this waste of money program.

I don't have any experience with this, but my feeling is that if a child needs extra help, it should be from someone who understands the way that child learns, and the curriculum and the way it is taught in the classroom. It also helps if the tutor can talk to the classroom teacher.
Posted 02 February 2013 - 01:20 PM
I would just do $10k worth of tutoring if needed when needed.
My sister had a tutor in year 12. Worked with her for 6wks, improved marks from below 50 to above 90.
My mum does tutoring. Most kids only need a term or two to bring them in line. It is not an on going constant cost.
Keep your money!

The world of 30 Rock is an unquestionably weird one (last night's episode featured a couch mascot in a threesome) but it's one that's always been acutely aware of its weirdness. In fact, the brilliant, off-kilter series has always worn its freak flag with pride (how else would you explain Prince Gerhardt?) but in its current disjointed sixth season, it looks as though the show might be starting to wave the white flag, both on and off-screen.
Aside from Alec Baldwin making his most recent threat to leave NBC and Tina Fey all but sealing the cult favorite's fate when she told the ladies of The View that "The end of the show is on the horizon," the show's writers may have not-so-subtly addressed the show's downward slope. In the opening scene of last night's episode "Meet the Woggles!" Liz complains that her sweatshirt is touting the wrong TGS catch phrase for its sixth season. The slogan for said sixth season? "Yuck!" And – you guessed it – 30 Rock in the midst of its sixth season. Coincidence? Twist!
Still, this is not to imply that the smart, funny, and talented cast and crew behind 30 Rock has surrendered. Even in the most mediocre of episodes, which "Meet the Woggles!" arguably was, they can still turn out some of the most quality comedy on television. Plus, you can't really ever go wrong with having Elaine Stritch return to play Jack's delightfully terrible mother, daughter of Unclaimed Irish Stowaway, Colleen Donaghy.
Jack and Colleen went toe-to-toe again as its discovered that the world's best worst mother has been in New York City to have heart surgery. Rather than tell Jack she's in town and ill (the hospital alerts him of her whereabouts after they found his name "on a list of disappointments she keeps folded up in her shoe") Colleen does what she does best: Repress. Well, repress and make some wildly racist and homophobic comments. But Liz, the over sharer extraordinaire that she is, eventually wears them down to get them to have a sweet and sincere talk with one another, a moment she took great pleasure in taking credit for. (Good God Lemon, Stritch deserves another Emmy for her work on this show.)
On the other end of the 30 Rock arena things were relatively status quo. Well, status quo in the sense that Jenna was doing something self-absorbed, this time pulling a Yoko Ono on her sexual walkabout to a White Supremacist Wiggles knock-off band called The Woggles (yes, you read that correctly) and Tracy was behaving as a barely functioning man child by trying to "reverse Urkel" his son George Foreman from attending Stanford. Tracy eventually came to his senses (well, as much as Tracy is capable of that) and Jenna came to terms with the fact that she is still in love with Paul, who she discovered has moved on with a new woman he dresses like and a couch mascot. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
Here are some of the best moments and lines from last night's 30 Rock "Meet the Woggles!":
- "Factories provide three things this country desperately needs: Jobs, pride, and material for Bruce Springsteen songs."- Jack
- "Proud? My son's a nerd!" - Tracy
- "What are you gonna do, put on your galoshes go eat some fruit like a Frenchman?" - Colleen
- "That song, like everything, is about me!" - Jenna
- "There's no need for us to start jabbering about our feelings and sobbing like Bill Belichick listening to Adele!"- Colleen
- "If you're ordering me an edible arrangement to say thanks, I prefer meat ones!"- Liz
- Liz's pronunciation of "guarantee" is "gar-awn-tee." (I wish I had a cam-ah-rah to capture Colleen's face during this.)
- Liz's make-it-rain dance.
- Liz's "Talk to your mother!" emoticon. (The 8 is the glasses!)
- Paul's last name is L'Astnamé.
- Colleen's usual hospital of choice is Boston Catholic Guilt Hospital.
- Both Dick Cheney and Dean Cain had an equal number of jabs at their expense.
So maybe things aren't so bad as they seem on 30 Rock. There's clearly still some life left in the show and with awesome announcements like this, it's going to be sadder to let go than listening to Mike and Mechanics' "The Living Years." But what did you think of last night's episode? Par for the course with the so-so episodes as of late or redeemed by the incomparable Elaine Stritch? Sound off in the comments section. Last word.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm more likely to read them if they're easy to find, as they seem to be on the day published, but I doubt I'd go searching for them after the fact.
I am mystified by them myself, I have come across a mention once or twice but no idea what the community pics mean re piglet or how to find. It seems really dumb that you have to know to search in a search bar to find a feature series.

text: LGBT Senate Vote Expected Friday on Bill Related to Transgender Bathroom Usage By John Null • Feb 26, 2015 UPDATE: The bill's sponsor, state Sen. C.B. Embry tells Kentucky Public Radio the Senate will vote Friday on Senate Bill 76. The Fairness Campaign previously indicated the vote would be Thursday. Director of Kentucky's Fairness Campaign Chris Hartman says he anticipates the Republican-controlled Senate will pass a bill requiring students to use school bathrooms corresponding with their biological sex, but that it will stall in the Democrat-held state House of Representatives. Students Rally for Gender Equality in Madisonville By Chad Lampe • Feb 9, 2015 Credit Jessica Dockery, Lead Reporter for the The Madisonville Messenger newspaper The fight for transgender rights continues at Madisonville-North Hopkins High School. Fifteen to 20 students and community members rallied Saturday on the old courthouse lawn in downtown Madisonville. Organizers currently have more than 300 signatures on a petition circulating the school. The petition requests teachers call students by their preferred pronouns and to allow students to use bathrooms for the gender of their choosing. Currently transgender students are asked to use handicap/unisex restrooms. The Madisonville Messenger's Lead Reporter Jessica Dockery covered the weekend rally. "The students did have a lot of support it seemed by folks driving by, honking their horns hollering positive things outside of the windows," said Dockery. "I didn't really see any negative reactions from the community while I was there. " Dockery says the protestors weren't just from MNHHS. Students from Hopkins County Central High School and some home-schooled students also attended the Saturday rally. Dockery said the organizers of the rally are trying to promote awareness. Transgender Hopkins County High School Student Working on Petition to Use Bathroom of Choice By Whitney Jones • Jan 30, 2015 Ted Eytan/taedc / Flickr (Creative Commons License) A Madisonville North Hopkins County High School transgender student is working on a petition to allow him to use the bathroom he chooses instead of the handicap one made available for those who identify as transgender. School officials haven't yet received the petition, but say they'll seek legal guidance although they aren't aware of any laws regulating bathroom use. Meanwhile State Senator C.B. Embry filed a bill this month requiring students use the restroom corresponding to their anatomical gender. Fairness Campaign Director Chris Hartman says the bill comes after a Louisville high school allowed a transgender girl to use the women's restroom and locker room, which he says is the best option. "When we force a trans student to use a private restroom, a handicap facility, what that does is it says you are so different that we don't know how to accommodate you other than to isolate you and force you to use this restroom that's all yours," Hartman said. Embry filed the bill after the Kentucky Family Foundation approached him with a draft of it. Hopkinsville HS Students Allege Discrimination Over LGBT Related Yearbook Quote By Whitney Jones • Jan 28, 2015 Hopkinsville High School has refused to run three students' senior yearbook quotes that reference their LGBT lifestyles, and one of them has filed a petition against the school board saying its discrimination. Parents Appeal Policy on Transgender Students at Kentucky High School By Associated Press • Jul 3, 2014 A group of parents has appealed a decision by a Louisville high school to allow transgender students to use the restrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their sexual identities. The Courier-Journal reports the Atherton High School site-based decision-making council will meet next week to discuss the appeal, which was filed by Louisville attorney Clinton Elliott, who is with the Christian-based legal group Alliance Defending Freedom. The council voted last month to amend its policy after school Principal Thomas Aberli decided to allow a transgender student to use the girls' restroom and locker room. The student was born male but identifies as female. The appeal says the school panel's decision was "inconsistent with state and federal law, inconsistent with concerns for safety and inconsistent with concerns for liability." Stumbo Backs Bill Banning Workplace Discrimination for Groups Including LGBT Community By Jonathan Meador • Feb 19, 2014 Kentucky LRC House Speaker Greg Stumbo has cosponsored a bill that would protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees from workplace discrimination. Stumbo is one of 18 cosponsors backing the proposed legislation filed by Louisville Rep. Mary Lou Marzian. The House Speaker says that his support for fairness coincides with his duty to uphold the constitution. "I've never stood by and allowed people's rights to be trampled in that manner. I don't believe in it. I believe the constitution is exactly what it is: It requires that everybody be treated the same way regardless of your creed, color, national origin or sexual preference." Stumbo says that he thinks there's increased support in his chamber for the bill compared to previous years. Report: Kentucky Improving Levels of Equality for LGBT Community By Jonathan Meador • Nov 20, 2013 A new report measuring the level of equality given to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Kentuckians shows some signs of improvement. The Human Rights Campaign released its second annual Municipal Equality Index, which examined laws and policies that foster LGBT equality in nearly 300 American cities. Four Kentucky cities were included in the report—Bowling Green, Frankfort, Louisville and Lexington. Although the cities scored below the national average, Fairness Campaign executive director Chris Hartman says the numbers show a substantial improvement over last year. "Lexington made a big splash; Louisville improved its score by a number of points; and Frankfort went from zero points the previous year, one of I think only three cities that achieved a zero score in 2012, to making it on the map in 2013," said Hartman. Hartman acknowledges there's room for improvement, but says a recent law passed by the General Assembly undermining local fairness ordinances has not hurt his group's efforts.

I have a question about the recipe "CHAPATI" from pauljoseph. On "Kneading as required," could you be a bit more specific?
If you don't knead your chapati dough "enough", you will end up with papad rather than chapati (think cracker rather than soft bread). The dough should be kneaded until it pushes back when you poke it with your finger. At least 10 mins if done by hand. You can always use the food processor.
