RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP
pjs When my dad read your post, he believed the pin was intact because it was sticking out both sides of the shaft. Yes you spotted the problem first and we both appreciate it . I was thanking Nate about how to get the rotor head off. BOTH You guys were more helpful than the LHS I got it from.

RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP
Flaxen It worked! My dad pulled very with alittle twist and the head came off and he was able to get the remains of the pin out with a fine punch. Medieval technology works! Thanks alot!!! I have my future MOM looking for a safety pin..

RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP
flax It is my heli and my dad StephenT is trying to fix it. So pull harder on the head and it will come off. If I can get the head off then I can see to punch out the broken pin that is stuck inside.

RE: 3dFoamy.com PROBLEM!
here is what Levi has to say on the website www.3dfoamy.com What's happening here now... Well Brooke and I are running on very little sleep right now... Skyla has her days and nights backwards... We are working some very long hours in the shop getting caught up with orders. We have a second laser running now! The additional production capabilities are allowing us to finally get caught up. However, in order to get manufacturing done, I have not had time to answer e-mails or take phone calls. With the week away at the hospital, and the increasing demand for our kits (now close to 1000 a month!), we just got a bit backed up. Two lasers have been cutting and we currently have orders up through the 16th of November cut. I am expecting the rest of the orders to be cut in the next 4 days. However it does take some time to package, box, label and ship the kits. I'll be e-mailing your shipping info when the order goes out. My goal is to be caught up to current date orders by the end of this week. At that time I'll hopefully be able to manufacture and sip orders with in a day or two. Thanks from the bottom of our harts for your support, understanding and business!

RE: any 3DFoamy pilots out there?
I have the 3DFoamy Cap 232 and its the easiest plane I've ever hovered IMHO. Its a really good plane. I had the Katana but couldn't really get it to hover. Kinda dissapointing but it was ok. Also have a 3DFoamy Sukhoi waiting to be built. TTYL, Andrew T.

RE: My new "Revoh" by Sirknight
MAIDEN FLIGHT REPORT: Me and my stepbrother went out to the field and were just ready to take off. I gunned it and all of a sudden the prop came off. We went home tightened it and made sure it worked this time. We went to the field again and had no problem. It has unlimited vertical, hovers pretty good and the rolls are so nice. It was a lil windy so i couldn't make it reach its potential, but what I've seen its perfect. No damage whatsoever. TTYL, Andrew T.

RE: Himax 2015 4100 or 5400?
i think the best to use if you're using a 5400 is an 11x3.8 and 3s. I've flown a 5400 on 2S with 12x6 and that was good too. My current temps with the 3s and 11x3.8 are always 115 degrees. Great Setup! TTYL, Andrew T.

RE: Hybrid Foamy Katana
3DFoamy is the place to get started. Even if u put that Speed 600 motor on there it probaly would just fly it and not do any 3d. THe wingloading would be way too high also. TTYL, Andrew T.
