    I've only tried it on the HiTec brand. Best I recall it won't even do all of the HiTec's.(would have to go back and read the manual again to verify)

      • I wasn't going to do the whistles until I saw the last 20 seconds of the video. That's pretty cool! Amazon is suddenly going to run out of Vortex footballs and they're not going to understand why! LOL

          Agreed.

          • I bought a couple of these. They have the same whistle, I believe and they have four of them. Perfect!

            • If Amazon runs out, 4 whistles for less money. http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/webapp/...a%2F-a4831as00

              • This is truly the story of my life, it wasn't an hour ago that I pulled the trigger on two nerf vortex footballs for like $35 just for the whistles!! Oh well, at least my grandsons can enjoy throwing these balls around with these suspicious holes in them.LOL Hey grandpa, that's a cool whistle noise coming from your new plane, how did you get that?:Don't-tell-Anyone:

                • Here are the whistles I dug out of a football I have. They are three different sizes. I believe Mike said he used the longest ones closest to the fuse and the middle ones farthest out.

                    You can get a few servo reversers these days that will do any servo. This is just the cheap hk one, $3.

                      Servo reverser yes, digital servo programmer/tester not so much. Us Spektrum users have to put up with their recommendation of not using an inline reverser.

                      • So Spektrum recommends not using these?

                          They recommend against it.

                              Hello Clearblue,
                              When you get your hands on those Howler Flying Disks could you post a pic of the whistles removed from the disk so that a visual comparison can be made against the Howler Football whistles(used by Cap'n Mike) that RCjetdude showed on post #2828. As Twowingtj wondered in post#2806 about equivalent sound, I to have a sneaky suspicion that maybe they aren't the same type whistles(due to the disk flatness) and it would be nice to know before everyone runs out and gets the wrong stuff. Am hoping that they are the same cause the price is 75% cheaper for the quantity needed to incorporate into the 'Hog' .
                              Best regards,
                              Warbird Charlie

                                Ditto that request. I was on the site and was about to order 2-3 of them when I wondered if it was even the same whistle. Pretty curious to find out too. Maybe I'll order just one for now, and a football as well, just to compare.

                                        Yes sir I sure will. I'm not 100% sure if they are the same? But we're about to find out. I'll post some pictures with measurements asap.
