I'll look into the uploader plug in tomorrow after some flying. Something happened with it after the forum software upgrade. You can still do multiple picture per post, but you need to add them one at a time.

NOT A GOOD MORNING! Thought I'd grab a couple quick flights while I was out doin my running around this morning... Only chance I was gonna have due to work & weather... Didn't turn out so good. 2nd crash on this bird.. And a major one at that! At a glance.. Main & tail blades, linkage, swash, 2 set of servo gears, boom w TT, umbrella gears... Not good at all!

Ouch, I haven't touched my 500 since I put it in the dirt. I'm not fixing mine for a while.

Sorry for your loss...

Oh, some parts are already on the way.. Already have a few... Still haven't had a close look to determine all of her needs... Toss''d her in the corner out of disgust.. Focused on the E7SE build.. But she'll be back up soon.

Yeah, I'm finding the same thing. It's taking 3 or 4 flights to get a groove going and often that's all I get in a day. Yesterday was a rarity where I got to fly pretty much the whole day and probably got in 10 flights or so.

Also doesn't help that I have a mix of 7200bx and Ikon in my fleet. I can't get them to be exactly the same and switching between them is becoming noticable to me, distractingly so at least for purposes of keeping a groove going. May need to switch up to all ikon and normalize my cyclic and tail rates and Tx D/R setups across everything. Project for this winter.

Agreed... Even with the same unit but different tuning.. My(currently wrecked) 550 is tuned a bit quicker on the cyclic than my N5C.... But.. I can't decide which way I like better.. Lol.. I with u on the keeping the same unit amongst the fleet... Yeah..

No hassle at all! Fuel'n'fly, fuel'n'fly, fuel'n'fly, fuel'n'fly, fuel'n'fly, fuel'n'fly, fuel'n'fly, change RX pack & fuel'n'fly..... So long as u have fuel... U don't have to wait... 1 RX packs will last about a gallon of fuel or so.. Awesome!

The refuel and back up is the really nice thing about nitro. The buying of batteries, soldering connectors, etc. is starting to wear thin.
