Very nice, Paul! Looks great!

Nice, I got mine hanging on the very back seat of the van. Its also bungeed in so it don't bounce out.

That's a cool idea Paul....

Need to put some more hooks on the right one to support weight better. The one on the left is solid though. May make up some wood brackets to use instead of the curtain rod hangers.

Nice!

Thats a hell of a stack of batteries Paul

[pvolcko]

got more downstairs. And I need to replace some of them on that mantle shelf. Have to get the fleet up and put some test flights on the packs to see how they survived the winter.

What blades are on the Blade 550?

[pvolcko]

Eco Power, AMainHobby's house brand. Cheap. Decided to pick up a set and try them out. Haven't had the chance to fly it much since putting them on after my last crash fixup. Once the weather turns I'll put putting some flights on to try them out and compare them to some others I have here.

That's what's up.. Let us know.. Never seen them before.. Believe I order from the once.... Don't surf their site much at all honestly.

I have used these blades before on my 450 heli. I like using them. There durable and remind me of the Fusuno blades besides being blk blades vs Red & White for the Eco blades which i think you can see them easier in the air.

[Gaba]

thats how I have been doing it for a while now. Except I use 700 wooden blades !!

[pvolcko]

hehe. I do have some orphaned single blades from crashes. Maybe those would work better. My issue at the moment is shoring it up. I think I need to make some wooden triangle brackets to get them a bit more stable for the weight of these large helis.
