Marc that was a awsome movie. I have the beta tape of the sales. I would like to know if someone could burn it to a DVD for me? I don't have a beta player anymore.

I can do it...Hey jczankl,
I made the offer once before to do the conversion. I'm still open to doing it.
I have a low-time Sony Beta VCR that I'll pull from storage and test with a throw-away tape first to be sure yours isn't damaged. Some of these older tape decks are hungry and eat iron oxide
Let me know...

So many heli's - too little time...

I have always thought that was a cool promotional video. Used to have an original copy years ago but it's long gone. I am working with John to supplement and improve the Cricket website with some really unique original Cricket materals for posterity and for all to see and enjoy. There is a fantastic story to be told here.
Sorry I dont have a beta deck, but I am in the process of digitizing what Ive got to add to the website. Stay tuned to the website and you will see some really neat improvements in the coming weeks! For a taste of what's to come, If you thought that Cricket promotional video was cool, here is something very, very special for you Cricket fans!!!

Louise TributeI think the tribute to Louise is a definate asset to the Cricket website. Without being close to John and Louise, the Heli Community was unaware how important Louise was to especially John and GMP. I had the opportunity to know her and as John described, she was definately a Lady in every way. To memorialize her on the website was a perfect addition!
Thanks.....Dave
Good Job Marc!!

Hey Joey:
Looks awesome!
One thing I figured out was that the Cricket stickers turn dark brown with age. They were originally black. Shoot me your email addy and i can send you a PDF template to make your own reproductions with an inkjet printer and clear sticker stock.

Sorry for the delay guys I am having some issues getting the cricket airworthy as something breaks on it everytime I spool it up,the main problem Im having is getting the tail to work properly so I can fly it long enough to tinker with main blade tracking and get a confortable pitch setting on the blades, the issue with the tail is brittle blade grips and for some reason the pitch slider has failed as the little coller ate right through it, but hang in there I will get the bugs worked out of it little by little
