Topic: Heli Stuff

Yeah I got one. At the beginning of the summer. The t-rex 500 just rocks. I should put up some pictures, but I've been too busy flying it.

The website, the electronics stuff etc have all been on hold while I get some good outdoor flying this summer. I have to say I'm getting a lot better.

This heli is just amazing, the power to weight ratio is awesome. It is also a lot more stable than the 450. The size difference is marginal. Though it is bigger the additional stability from the 450 to the 500 is much greater than you would expect. It has given me much more confidence, and I'm realy solind in forward flight now. It is definitely the most badass heli I have flown.

After flying this heli I rebuilt my 450, it was pretty smacked up after many a crash, so I went through the whole thing, the head, and checked all the bearings. I replaced a few bearings, upgraded the ESC firmware, and set it up all over again. It is really smooth now as well.

I think I will just maintain these two helis, they both fly great, and if one goes down for repairs, I have another. They are both great quality.

Got the "Cold Light" wired up on my trex-450. Here is a pic

I should have some action shots soon.

I just got night flying gear on my heli and wow, it is badass... I have a little more to do, and then I will put up some pics. it is soo cool to fly at night.

WOW, I know now why the rex is so popular. It flys so well I feel like my flying skill just got better by 200%. I've put maybe 10 packs through it, and man I am really happy with it. Parts availability is great in the US as well. Awesome heli, highly recommended.

Well I have been having a blast with the wii, and recently bought a new heli... oh yeah a new house too.

The heli has some pictures on my blog, but the blog has been failing, so I'm going to have to find a better way to send pics from my phone.

The heli is a "Rotofly", and mine has been pretty heavily modded over the last few months. It is a fixed pith heli, and I have converted it to a brushless main motor. I'll try to get more pics up soon.

The new house is pretty sweet, but it appears to be behind schedule though. THP claims they will make up the lost time, and so I can have the family up for Easter, like I do every year. We will see.
