RC-Hangout

That is one sweet looking bird Clay! Does she get more attention that the 550? I know mine does! My gasser has really helped my learning progress across the board.

I finally have the 2nd engine broken in, just need to split my rpm sensor cable between the Brain and TM1000 so that I can get the governor set up. Here's a shaky video!

+1!!

When I started out I used the Tarot multi bit driver, which was good, but the 1.5 tip would round easily and end up stripping the screw heads on my 450. After I bought the Align set, no more stripped screws!

The Brain!!!

Well after falling out of the sky twice for no reason, I decided to give the Brain/Ikon a shot. I've been running rich to break in a new ring/cylinder liner, and with the GPro it has had a pretty good head wobble. After hovering for about 4 minutes it seems like the GPro resets the cyclic to 0 pitch...

Thanks Graham! I have been wanting to post videos, but can't pry my son away from the XBox long enough to hold the camera.. :evil:. I ordered the red anodized stepped washers for the frame screws to match the other red components. There are a few screws that have smaller frame holes, so I am waiting...

Awesome job Clay, The red looks great! The red shrink on the sat is a nice touch. I'm doing the same to my 700. I ordered the Lynx red anodized washers, just waiting on a set of matte finish frame plates and boom to swap out.

I plan to place the esc here. I need do a small cutting in the plastic part to get it to fit properly.


Nice looking bird! That's where I mounted my YEP esc with the capacitors to the inside, and it fit pretty good.

Yep! I was just looking at those. Looks like some very cheap insurance

Thanks Graham. Well I had my first problem with the Gasser...all my fault. Since it will fly for 30 minutes on 2/3 of a tank, I managed to out-fly my receiver pack and have my gyro quit responding. Luckily I was hovering a few feet off of the ground when it happened. It hit the ground and tipped ove...

Does anyone know of a good source for color anodized screws and standoffs here in the states? My mini quad frame came with plastic M3 screws, and I want to change them out for red anodized aluminum. I found some online but will have to wait 10 to 20 days to get them registered mail.

Awesome job there Tony, great looking build!! I am glad to see you back in the air! What Dan, Graham and Lee did is what makes this community and hobby so great!

Sweeeet! Can't wait to see her go together!

I found a little more bling on Ebay for the Rex . Also ordered the Lynx Spindle bolts for the main grips. She's slowly morphing into a Dominator...lol. Next will be HV servos and 160A ESC, once my flying abilities warrant them.

Looking good! You did a great job on making the wiring look clean. Looking at these builds makes me want to dust off my 240 quad!

I got home in time to get a few flights in on the 700's.

Lol sweet! Looking forward to seeing more videos.

Well I have one gallon of gas through the Rex...and it's awesome!! The weather here has been hit and miss, but I was able to burn a tank this evening before my fingers went numb.

That's a great looking build and bird. You did an awesome job Clay!

Thanks!
