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.

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.

The one we got my son is a single blade not the double. Unfortunately it wasn't a good buy. It's the biggest of the few we have owned which was nice but we had problems almost from the start. No matter what we tried we could not get it to fly forward. On the second flight it crashed and I had to order a new tail rotor. On the very next flight it fell from flight and broke an engine gear cog. It wasn't worth fixing after that and now sits on a shelf in my sons room. Made me angry to see my sons sadness. I then got a 4 chan slightly smaller and it's been great. The bigger copters are more fun to fly but I'll get a different one next time Hope that helps.

We only have the 973 so I can't compare. The 973 is used frequently. It's still going strong and is reasonably quiet. We've had to replace the wood floor attachment, and the plastic on the metal tubes broke and we needed to replace a tube, but it gets a lot of use.

The 204 parts are smaller the impeller /shaft and cover are totally different/way smaller/the 304,305,404 and 405.parts are the same,except the handles and outer parts and canisters,where you can clearly see a difference. Fluval the best filter out there.(I have four running quietly as we chat) Go get em Mike

A three bladed fan will move more air than a two-bladed fan, assuming the blades are the same size, etc. I have no idea why the Ecofan company Web site does not include the 3-bladed mode. In my opinion, the 3-bladed model would be the newer model. But I have no connection to the company.The unit is pretty neat. Light. Silent. Pushes the air.

If i were you i would get used to the ones youbare using and decide what direction you want to go for flight configuration... Do you want it to be quiter? Get the tri blades but then you dont have as much thrust... Get the bigger stiffer carbon fiber and you get the lift and thrist and speed but at expense of the sound. Wjat i did was get tje longer regular blades and its a mix of both. Hope that helps. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hello friend, I've never owned the wild whirlpool or water wheel version but I can tell you this since I did a lot of research on all of them before I purchased the big splash waterpark. The deal breaker for me (besides the fact it got the BEST reviews over all of them) was that all the parts simply snap into place rather than screw in. Over time the screws will rust and you wont be able to ever disassemble it. Also, it doesn't leak. It was very easy to put together and my daughter LOVES playing with it. All the reviews on this product were right! Hope this helped. Heidi

I am also wondering which one to buy for my 19 month old little girl.There's only a $10 price difference. I want to know which one she will enjoy the most and actually use.

From what I read before the motor is stronger in the Elite. The description for the Elite also says this: "New, 2x more powerful motor than original Yonanas". I haven't had an issue with the motor on the regular Yonana so I don't know if it's worth spending the extra money.

My fan has 3 nickel blades. You should definitely not get fewer (i.e. 2)blades for a large room. It seems that the picture is wrong for the model 802. Here is the line item info from my order 18 months ago: 1 "Caframo Limited 802CA-KBX Ecofan Airplus, Nickel Blade"Health and Beauty; $127.99Good luck.Jerry

Nautilus R514 Recumbant post: Your review is good - and not having seen these two sister products side-by-side, I would definitely say that the Schwinn display looks more updated (color, etc.) while the Nautilus looks bad. You did miss one thing: the R514 has a 'powerful fan.' Now, I like that feature, but I can get the 240 for $399 including tax and shipping. That means that for $150 I get a better warranty and a fan, but many of the reviewers on various sites have said that the fan is, in the words of Charles Barkley, TURRIBLE! So I agree with you, and am going to order the Schwinn. Using an external fan may not be chic, but it probably works better and it's free (top shelf of my hall closet :-)). Thanks for the fine review - well done.

On a side note, Stanley, we had a Whirlpool one in the kitchen to cool the kitchen and livingroom areas and it finally died last year after several years of having it. We tried to replace it with one of the many brands that we've had in other rooms that were cheaper. We hated all of them and they just wouldn't cool very well at all. I finally insisted on finding another Whirlpool since our old one was so great. This was well worth the extra money. It does a great job and we love it. We would never buy another brand again. Hope this helps in your decision...

I believe the only difference is that the 3rd generation has slightly longer plates than the regular iron. Neither of these flat irons are of the current generation, which is why they're being sold so cheaply. I think they must be a few years old, because if you look at the current 1-inch flat iron on HSI's website, it's slightly different and costs quite a bit more. That said, I bought the regular iron here and I could not be happier with it. It's everything I wanted. I can curl or straighten my hair, it doesn't burn, the temperature can be adjusted so easily. My only warning is that it doesn't have an automatic turn-off, so you need to be someone who can always remember to turn it off or unplug 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

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

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.
