Fun with parts falling off in air
Had a blast today, Both birds ran top notch. I got about ten flights on one and on the fifth flight with the other this happened during a piro flip (I can only do a 1/2, I'll work on the other half once it's close to perfect)
Tail control rod landed first. I give it a 8.9 A little crooked on the entry. |

Re: Fun with parts falling off in air
Then this landed. I give it a 3 for looking worse than it is. It was upside down, this was the closest to upright I could get it.

Re: Fun with parts falling off in air
Actually, it'll take $95 to get it back in the air. That includes carbon SAB's

Re: Fun with parts falling off in air
Good lord dude, I was happy for ya when I saw you had ten flights. Man that looks like hell. Been flying the crap outta my birds this week. Gone through almost two and half gallons. Only issue I had was the muffler came loose off the .90. Landed with it hanging by the pressure line. That sz-h is starting to humm.
Check out the video I posted the other day. There's a snippet of heli flying in it. |

Re: Fun with parts falling off in air
You aren't kidding. The next set I buy are going to be sab fiberglass. A guy at the field says they fly exactly the same as the carbons, but are only $50. I was at that field by myself both days. I thought for sure someone would have showed this afternoon. It was sooo nice out.. 55 degrees light wind. That paint stayed on the canopy, I'm amazed. The new one is going to be sick when I get to it. I'm going to try using stencils for some graphics, and I'm getting a house of kolors neon paint set.
