Maybe do a vid? overview and features? would be neat! lol 

Hows the stick height and feel (8FGish?) or is it different completely? Also, the switch placement; the extra space feel much better than the 8FG? Oh, is it a thicker radio than the 8FG? The 8FG is a pretty thin radio compared to my 12FGH.  Coming from spektrum it was a huge transistion and hard for me to get use to... I hate to say it but the DX7 felt good in my hands BUT boy does it feel cheap compared to my 12FGH!  But going Sbus I was done with spektrum.

I don't actually have a 14SG, otherwise I would gladly show off its features. The one I used was Futaba's demo model that I snagged during OHB, copied my 8FG program to it, and then flew my N5c before anyone realised it was missing!  :D

The sticks are adjustable just like the 8FG, and I usually lengthen them a little for my "pinch" style of flying. The sticks are pretty much the same as the 8FG. The biggest difference that I could feel, was the comfy rubber grips on the back, and the switch spacing on the top. There is room on the shoulder switches to lay your finger in between without risking an accidental switch flip. Another cool thing is the vibration alert! Came in very handy at the noisy fly in.

I've lost count of the gallons now, but my N5c is still going strong and taking everything I can throw at it! This video was from today, practicing stationary inverted pirouettes and swing the tail from backwards to forwards during inverted hurricanes. Fun, fun, fun!

Wow, it's hard to believe that my N5c is two years old now! It's still going strong, and I don't see any signs of it wearing out any time soon. This is one strong bird, and I thoroughly enjoy flying it! The only thing I've done to it is lowered the head, and changed some of the swash balls out to give a little more cyclic.

I gave it a little upgrade this past week, and installed an onboard glow igniter. No more dead glow drivers for me!  ;D

Simple solutions Bob... Strip it down and re-build it ;)

Ha ha, you've got a point Chris! You guys are sooooo funny! Winter is coming and if I get just totally bored and there is 12" of snow on the ground I'll consider it!

Meanwhile I'll be outside in my winter woolies with some of Ray's skid clamp skis strapped to the bottom of my heli :-D
