Does anybody know the differences between the Whirlibird II and the Whirlibird III? Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks!

In comparing the descriptions of the two versions of the jacket at Columbia's website, the differences I'm finding are: Whirlibird iii Construction: Zip-in and 3-point Interchange System Drawcord adjustable hem Adjustable cuff tabs Modern classic fit Fabric: Shell lining 100% nylon embossed taffeta Inner jacket exterior 100% polyester Microtex Lite II taffeta Inner jacket lining 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Microtex Omni-Heat inner jacket insulation 50% polyester/50% recycled polyester, 80g OH --------- Whirlibird ii Construction: Zip-in Interchange System Fabric: OMNI-TECH SHELL DETAILS 100% nylon SHELL LINING 100% nylon taffeta INNER JACKET EXTERIOR 100% polyester INNER JACKET LINING 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Other differences in the version III: Available colors Available color patterns Columbia only offers the newer version on their website So, there are some differences but not a lot. Hope this helps.

The EB Brands Ironman is a 2.4 ghz radio system :)- that means you can fly up to 15 of these at the same time!!!- -Nice craft project to add light paint colors as well (like the mark 42: ) -Greg -this is bar none the best performing toy plane in history - I have tried all the others. the Patented turning head really helps bank him in the turns so you can get back on both power quickly- it is NOT like the other Hogs planes where you pray it turns be for it hits the ground or runs out of range- Go Ironman buy and fly several at a time : ) fight or race them! -Greg

I currently have both the 430 ex II and 270 ex , I am thinking hard about returning the 430 ex II. In P , AV, or manual mode the only real difference I see is the range, the 430 is about 16 feet better. And the 270 does bounce it does not rotate.

My parents had the lower priced alternative. We really liked it, so we bought one for our family. I chose the more expensive one because it seemed to have a more powerful and more importantly, quieter motor. It also seemed like the more expensive one was a little bit more heavy duty and would last longer. Hope this helps. Either way, you will be happy with the result. So good.

What about the DC25? I'm thinking about buying that one. Does it have the same problems as the DC17 or have they improved it? I looked at it's reviews. There's only 9, but they're pretty good.

There is the Intex Mariner 3, but it is a different boat than the Sea Hawk II--maybe mostly only by name. The Mariner 3 looks like an updated version of the Sea Hawk II, but I'm comparing only by looks. You'll have to compare the size. I can tell you that the Sea Hawk II is a great boat. It's very durable. If the Mariner 3 is as good or better than the Sea Hawk, you'll be happy.

From what I've read, the little one sounds exactly like mine, the one for $132. I would buy the cheaper one. I use it every day and love it!!

I believe the 3000 replaces the 300. They have about the same rpm range. The 3000 has a newer design, probably some features I can't really think of right not but mostly the same

They're referred to as "control line" models. A few exist out there, but that has pretty much been overcome by the reduction in price of R/C models, especially those Ready To Fly and Park type models. Try searching Amazon, they have quite a selection of relatively inexpensive Park type models that are 2 and 3 channel R/C aircraft, and usually electric in nature. Any local hobby shop would have them also if you want to take a look in person. Hobbytown USA is a good place to start unless you have a local hobby shop you like also. You can also check out their website, just google it. They're referred to as "control line" models.

Buy the wltoys v912. It's very easy to fly and can take a beating. I have had 3 doublehorse 9116's and I'm not impressed.

Okay Gary, I just heard back from our contact. Here is what she said:They could check different bushcraft forms and blogs sites to see what others said about the Emberlit. Here is a good video to show the customer for comparison of the 2 stoves https://youtu.be/0vXoZwSoVA8. The boil time is a lot faster than the Solo.We offer a life time warranty on all of our products and if they are not satisfied with it you can return with a full refund. It also depends what they are using the stove for the solo doesn't pack flat and you would have to lift your pot up to feed it fuel where the Emberlit has a side port to feed the fuel.

The III is very slightly improved over the II and a bit cheaper... It works well but you lose a stop on your lens and on some cameras you lose auto focus...

Micro 6 channel collective pitch helis are much more "twitchy" than a T-REX 500. You should do just fine, and will find flying larger helis EASIER than smaller helis. I find 500-class helis the best when it comes to weight vs. lift. I don't do any 3D flying (yet?), but am confident with sport flying and performing pirouettes.

Have not used the 330 but the 370 is great. My husband I have gone out in the 370 several times and loved it and last time we took our 7 year old daughter with us and it was great. We have not gone white water either just some nice lakes.the rating and weight compacity are two things you need to compare.that will tell how good it is and how much it can handle.Make sure it is mets the NMMA requirements.

I actually have both systems and I have to say that I am happier with the Squirrel Stopper system. I do like that the WBU system can be made shorter or taller with the pole sections they sell; however, it doesn't hold up to the wind/squirrels or hold as many feeders as the Squirrel Stopper. I hope this is helpful.

I have both the 733 and 660, the 660 is more energy efficient and moves more air at quieter volume levels than the 733. The 733 is fine for a fan that you want to hide away in a corner, but the 660 is much better looking so you'll not mind having it out in view of others. The 733 has an older analog switch with only 3-speed settings, while the newer 660 has a sleek digital 5-button setup with 4-speed settings. Overall the 660 is just a far superior fan with a more efficient electric motor and it's ability to move in any degree of position from horizontal to vertical...not just 3 like the 733.

If you are new to 450 size and 3d flight, I think the RTF is good. I would recommend replacing the gyro. I replaced the stock unit with Spartan Quark and I love it.
