Almost there

Post by treff »

All I need is a new battery. The one I had died a batteries death, it went in the night, silently without fuss. In the morning
it was gone. Unfortunately it took with it Tony's gifted Kbar. Now also dearly departed. Still as they say in that famous song
"always look on the bright side of life"

Well, it as taken me 2 days to find I had a servo reversed on the cyclic. My goodness I'm getting old. Still
as they say on the longest of journeys "nearly there" lol. in more ways than one. They also say of course
If at first you don't succeed. Give up. They also say "It's always darkest just before the dawn"
What I want to know is WHO the hell are THEY ?

Good luck Treff and enjoy your first flight. Is that an Agile heli? What do you have for electronics? If you don't mind me asking :oops: . Have a good/safe fourth.

Hi Tony Bonjour avez-vous eu de bonnes vacances. This afternoon I did the maiden in my very small garden. Managed to trim the back hedge at the same time lol.
No damage but needs some trimming out. Need to have a word with Lee about setting up the FBL unit. I think you were away when it happened but I managed to kill
your Kbar with a shorted battery. I brought another second hand Brain but need a little assistance in setting up the banks. I can not remember how to do it.
Cheers.

Hi Dog thanks for the input and also you and your family have a good 4th. It's a very special date for me also 14 years ago on the 4th had a massive heart attack and
thanks to the skills of a lot of people including wonderful care from my Wife Pauline I'm still here trimming hedges with my heli. Have a good one mate Cheers
