[quote]ORIGINAL: choppersrule [b]Kyle,[/b] Thanks for the compliment on the 600. I'm really impressed and happy with it. A long time getting there, but worth the effort... And you're always welcome to the ''Chopper Mansion''.

RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!
Hey BOB's Today I bought a older thunder tiger 50 size muffler for my Vision 50. It coming along I did the decals on the canopy last weekend so it doesn't look like a cut up milkjug[:)] All that is left is to buy the 600mm main blades, Solid-G gyro and JR 8900G tail servo for major parts. Then the small stuff fuel, starter, and Misc. stuff and I should have it flight ready. It looks like I will finish it WAY ahead of projected time frame, so maybe Jan or Feb(my b-day is in Feb$$$$) at the latest.

RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!
[quote]ORIGINAL: Barrrick [:D] http://www.vimeo.com/7463758 < SHORT SCALE HUGHES FLIGHT , I detected ''something'' not right > http://www.vimeo.com/7598009 just before I left to the Dr.'s office I decided to find out if the INNOVATOR EXP is a ''good deal'' ? the main reason I clamped on to the INNOVATOR line was that I am mostly interested in flying (learning) to fly helis. With hardly a workshop, any tools left, and tri-focals in front of my eyes, assembly is almost out of my league. So even against the CRASH's better opinion I went with the INNOVATOR 503... After a series of mishaps, none my fault, I have a heli that serves MY purposes, but exactly. and now I decided further to try the EXP. To experiment fully, all I did after taking it out of the box, was to clamp the two blades and charge the red battery, add eight cells to the TX. that is ALL I DID, and the results are shown in the enclosed picture. Mind you, I did not check blade alignement, blade balance, CG, NOTHING AT ALL just fired it up. I am well pleased with this line of INNOVATOR. I give credit where credit is due. P.S. : as an additional sweetener, I had to go looking for this EXP because it seems that the general public has not accepted this system very well, ( yet ) and I found a deal in E-BAY . When I'm signing off I realize I have just purchased the EXP from a local hobby shop right here in Houston. So I call and tell them I would like to come and save the ''shipping'' . So I did, and the owners had been CLIENTS of mine from my years at the Airport. Final price for the EXP : $ 500 -which means I got the EXP for just $ 33.00 more than a B-400 RTF That's what friends are for : right ? [8|] [/quote] Rick Very nice flying very controlled flight.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Barrrick [:D] i just posted something with the VIDEO included and it got rubbed off trying again : .... http://www.vimeo.com/7423628 CLIC on the right/bottom of the Vimeo screen (small four-petal looking flower) to watch in FULL SCREEN MOST OF THE FLYING the helicopter is off/screen. makes me mad.I had done two or three pirouettes and some nose in flying and they don't show well. With the next battery I again made a film which is now being processed and will include later. it's hard to fly within the imaginary screen, but this INNOVATOR gave me the confidence I needed to just DO IT ! I am now charging the T REX , the T REX with the HUGHES BODY and the K 2s and the K 3.......If this fantastic weather continues I will try to film all my flights. [8|] please bear with me .... I KNOW y'all are flying like PROS....... I guess I am just a SLOW DUMMY [&o] [/quote] Rick Here is what I do to get flyin in the camera view. 1st I setup camera in place, then turn it on and point in the right direction, next i look at the camera screen to get a reference point then carry rock to the points an d place them on the ground, then I move back to the cam and check to see if i can still see the rocks on the ground if not i move the rocks again till they are at the edge of the camera screen. I doo this for all edge ranges of he camera. Then I fly and just keep the heli within the rocks perimeter. Hope I explained it good enuff

RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!
[quote]ORIGINAL: J-MICHAEL Kyle ~ I've used an AR6100 RX for my Logo 10 since I've had it in the air, and without issue.... The extra satellite receiver is great extra security though but many will still even fly there 500's and 600's with one especially since the range of the 6100 which I think is 1.5 miles is still plenty for any RC aircraft for that matter like in my planes where the 6100 is covered inside the fuselage and flown out until there specks sometimes... [:D] Over on Helifreak, I just came across a thread the other day in fact of guys using an AR6100 in there 500's.... I use a AR7000 in my T-500 as the expense of that craft for exceeds the Logo and so I went the safe route with the extra satellite receiver to be safe. [:D] I had thought the 7000 has a range of over 2 miles I believe, still unpractical but practical for the extra sat receiver. http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=170236 ~ Jeff [/quote] Yeah I also got 3 ar6100's one in the belt-cp. But with the expense of the heli no chances taking here. Most of the ppl on the vision 50 thread at helifreak just suggested against it.

[quote]Th 401's are a pinto compared to others out there on the market now without a doubt... Your JR gyro will suit just fine also, but already outdated with the 16 gram Spartan gyro, the also 9.9 gram Hitec gyro, and the new craze which is the inertia 860 gyro....[/quote] I'm saving my $$ for the CY Solid-G!!! Ive seen it up close and in action "Amazing". Haven't decided on tail servo JR's are the Tops right now. The 770 is incredible with the 8900g. I still see guys flyin the new Rappy's with GY401's old tech but still good.

LOL I only used the marker cause i was bored. My wife was a preschool teacher and now a children's librarian so we have tons of the paint here I just usually don't care to paint them. Thanks the snoopy fly great, the glider and canard are Steve's planes, he doesn't have much R/C experience just ADD so I kinda works out for him with my input here and there. As for the MIA Skyfly I'm waiting on the farmer to clear out his bean field so i can get to the tree line and take another look for it, last time I looked the trees were too green and full to even see it and there nothing expensive in it.

[quote]ORIGINAL: J-MICHAEL Here was one of my flights on Sunday morning testing to see how the T-450 flew after my last bad crash and bending the boom back again, the flybar, and the main rotor head... I had to also glue back the boom going into the plastic boomblock, and I see there is a bad main bearing (topside) that I need to replace. I also CA'd and fiberglassed resined the plastic tail rotor blade grip wrapped also in some nylon fishing line that had broke from the last crash as you saw from the pics.

The video caught too much of the window so the lighting was horrible, but I may post it for the audio reaction of my parents. Mom was warning me to take it off before my father had a heart attack he was laughing so hard. :P They just weren't expecting me to walk in with a third eye on my head, but in the end he's all about it, and looks forward to trying it out. Jim, I'll gladly take a reference to rube, I get suckered into all those videos online when I see them, and one of my FAVORITE games when I was a kid was that mouse-trap game, anyone remember that? Dave, thanks for the compliments. I wouldn't be able to make any of those things without learning what I have here from you guys. Jeff, I can see where it looks a little tail heavy, but glad there wasn't any damage on that puppy, looks like a cool little flyer. A friend of mine I met in Omaha who trucks all around the country and stops by local hobby shops in whatever town he's in at the time sent me a crap ton of plans and links to depron and what not.
