If the prices are similar buy the "B" block. If the "A" is significantly cheaper, by the "A".
Both will perform the same. All internal parts are the same. The "B" has a few refinements that could lead to more durability but not significantly.
Trev and popey it's 'straya day' this coming tuesday so i'll be mixing with the rednecks and flying the deccy with saito 82,nice power to weight and cheap to fly.Took the duke for a ride in the hills this morning and i swear you could smell the three abreast cyclists before you seen 'em
P3arljam,
Saito makes an aluminum 90 degree adapter which is a cast piece. These are known to break. They advertise them to be used only with their flexible exhaust. Ours are machined from solid billet.

Since when is Ted a rude name in Aus ? I thought you would get the shot gun out and turn him into a feather duster ! Must be nice to have some bird **** in your corn flakes . Cheers and a happy Aus day to all .

The final tally on the snow is 30", they haven't plowed our street yet, no biggy we have plenty of food and plenty of wood to burn. I have that used Saito .50 ready to run, the new Boca Bearings made it silky smooth.
Ted is short for poophead (it ed) and that bird just stole my prescription glasses,magpies can be stubborn about bringing stuff back.You can always shortcut that and just shoot em but who does that nowadays?
near there, new since I lived in F'Burg.
Be safe in the snow there. We only got 16 inches here in Guilford, CT.

Mine are 99mm wide at the tips, 84mm at the tails to float on unpacked snow.

I'll take your word on it. I lived in Denver for 5 years and never went skiing. I never had enough accident coverage!

My skis are considered "Telemark skis" which is basically an all terrain ski, capable of going uphill W/O skins & they have metal edges W/enough side cut to turn making them (somewhat) downhill capable.
Snow is soft so, unless you are on a very steep slope, if you have to you can just sit down before things get out of hand. People that get severely injured skiing are getting in over their heads.

Cannot complain here. Hit 43F today.
Traditionally this week and next are the coldest of the winter, (when I flew helis in the bush we used to see -55F every morning!).
Very weird winter. End of January and still no snow cover at all.

Thanks Richard, I haven't flown there yet, I am still waiting to get my credentials for the Members Only part of their site. I am goin to try to attend the Fairview Church RC Flea Market. I haven't been there since I met you and Gary there.
