RC-Hangout

So how do you like the TBS crossfire Graham? I've been debating to get one. I really don't lose reception when flying my quads but when I do... the walk of shame stinks

I'm glad that you found a responsible pilot Graham. That's the main reason I wouldn't sell mine. There's no such thing as responsible or common sense people in the world anymore. Of course it's just my opinion. That's great your DJI is like brand new. Like everything else. You take care of it and it...

I feel for you Graham. I have 2 of them. I thought about selling one but that's it....a thought. When you want a good all around recording machine, The DJI 3 standard works marvelous, for me anyway.

Let see. I haven't really did a complete break down of the 450. I'm thinking about purchasing a 450 scale fuselage for it. I have the Gaui X3L for a 450 size heli to fly. Plus I took the AR7200BX unit and installed it in the X3L. I have a brand new Beast X for the 450. Scale or not. As for the damag...

Hey there Graham. The 450, what I came to conclusion is that the pitt servo arm pop-off the Servo ball link. It went into a spin, I couldn't do anything but hit throttle hold and watch the 450 plummet to the ground :(. It's been raining for a few days so the under ground was still wet. That's how th...

This morning I got the chance to fly. I took the 450 and the 500 along with the 550 to practice with them before flying the 550. batch_IMG_0881.JPG Well it didn't go that way. The 500 was acting up but got her down before any damage happen. The 450 didn't do so good :(. batch_IMG_0882.JPG I couldn't...

batch_IMG_0880.JPG OK after gathering all the electronics and installing them, I finally got the XLPower 550 ready for it's first flight tomorrow morning. I'm also bringing her sisters the 500 and 450 helis. All should go well. I will make a video :). Here's the 500 and 550 after there final inspec...

That's was too cool. Awesome job again Derek. Thanks for sharing .

Well I wish you the best and pass that test

OH WOW! That's some nice pictures your showing. I've been around the united states but never cross the pond. Maybe my next life Thanks for sharing Graham

We're in stage 3 because everything from Disney, beaches most amusement parks are opening up with changes. I got the chance to go back to my old flying spot at the park again :). This time I was opposite of the field. The sunny side I call it. I did fly 2 planes,3 helis and 2 quads alone with 12 bat...

So you are allowed to fly during Covid Hey there Graham. In Florida during the month of May, we were stay at home status during covid 19, so I flew with no problems or harassment. We are opening up in stages now. We're in stage 2 which the beaches and parks are open but social distancing applied. T...

Oh wow. That's pretty neat and handy too. Thanks for sharing

Thank you much Graham. The quality is good and It's defiantly large build compare to my 500. What really impressed me is the lightness :o . It's almost as light as my 450...just kidding. I'm getting my servos from Aloft hobbies at of California. here's my cyclics https://alofthobbies.com/kst-ms-589-...

I couldn't wait any longer so I went ahead and finished up til the servos come in and I installed them

I got a little bit more done last night and this evening I can't really do much more til I order my servos and install them.

Since covid 19 ruin our lives, the park that I fly at is open but the field it self...isn't :cry: So I found a new place to fly :) It's a little bit more open area so the wind sometime can be a factor :lol: Here's is the new area that i fly at now til my old area opens up again :x . It's the view fr...

Well I decided to start the XL 550 build. It's pre assembled but I'm taking all apart to make sure everything is greased and lok-tite properly Anyway here's the 550 parts compare to my X3. What a big difference More to come as I go

I've wanted something bigger then my 500 for the longest time :( . My BD is coming up soon and the wife got me an early present :D IMG_0766.JPG It's a XL Power 550 heli kit with main blades,tail blades and 4020 motor from A Main Hobbies :o I still have to order servos and esc but it's a start. I hav...
