I haven't seen hardly any heli pic or video lately :( . Has everyone gone drone and FPV :?: I haven't tried FPV but soon I will :? Well I've been flying my 450DFC for awhile now and been doing OK so far :oops: . Recently the 450 had an incident that required a total make over :cry: Finally my parts arrived today :D The 450 got new Main/tail blades, HW50a esc, Align 460MX/3200Kv motor, main/feathering shaft and a neat looking canopy. It might not improve my flying :shock: but the bird will look good trying :lol:

I've been flying quite a bit this season. About 75% helis, 20% planes and 5% quads/fpv. But I have not been taking much video. I was at the beginning of the season, but that tappered off to nothing fairly quickly. I'll see about getting some video taken, edited down, and posted up!

It does seem as though traffic here has dropped like a rock in the last week or two.

That would be cool to see heli videos again :) . I enjoy them very much. I miss watching like cml001 and others fly 8-) . Maybe clay is not allow to make videos unless team Synergy lets him since he's a celebrity now :lol: I'll post some videos up once this hurricane winds passes by. Hopefully this weekend ;) . Everyone,dust off your helis and show us your bird in action :mrgreen:

You've got a very good looking canopy, DOG! Love it!

I've not been flying much at all this year due to an overwhelming overtime work schedule. Yes, the money is good and it looks good in the bank account but I'm not home as much as I'd like and I'm surely not home long enough to spend some cash. From time to time, I do get permitted the short hour or so to go fly so I simply grab the ZMR250 and fly some FPV. My helicopters are down because they need new parts installed. I have most of the parts, I just need to find the time to get them installed. Perhaps I can get the helicopters sorted out this winter and then be ready for heli's next season.

Sorry Graham Lawrie, I was talking about helis videos. I didn't mean to touch a nerve :oops: Actually the wife and I are enjoying the DJI videos. She's loving the view. :) There's so much scenery over there vs here in the U.S. :|

Hey all. I finally got a test flight in the other day :) . I've been waiting for my HW esc to come in :( . The esc was tied up because of the hurricane that went by the east coast of Florida to North Carolina that disrupt the mail service for a few days. Anyway, It's nothing fancy but the heli flew great. The electronics didn't even get warm with the new esc/motor combo :D . Hopefully this weekend I can make it to the park for a real flight :lol: https://youtu.be/X5-GlZZZAwM
