Finally get to fly..

[Stretch79]

With this weather in off out to fly my bird. Haven't flown in months. Probably come back and spend a whack on some parts lol

Enjoy!! i'm same as been flying last couple days after a lengthy period on the sim, x2 rebuilds in 1 week £££££, but sim time definitely paying its dividends as my flying has improved loads.. on 450's, never tried loops or rolls before, but doing them no problem now on heli's (thanks you RF) Just changed canopies as the heli i keep crashing has a canopy that seems to blend into the clouds ..bleh!
200 srx has full rakon & lynx upgrade and 150% power increase, what an absolute blast, really seriously love this heli..so much fun when you can do a 'loops' in them and its very nippy :-)

My Srx has lasted 10 bloody minutes. Has cut out again at high level. Crash. Need new rakon landing gear and main shaft asthat's wobbling. Put it onto intermediate. Makes flying easier id say than beginner. Well now I've got to get in touch with hh and see why this keeps cutting out even after them replacing the motor and esc. Maybe receiver?

Sounds like you're doing well. Been doing loops and stuff on the sim but don't think ive got the bottle yet to do it. Esp as heli keeps cutting out. No standard parts on mine probably like yours.

Have you also done the power increase? I had mine at 200% and it gave me all sorts of problems as my esc was really hot after flying for 2 mins, i dropped it down to 150% and problems all gone, no glitching or tail wag.
when you say cutting out, does the motor just stop working? because mine used to fly for not even 1 min and sort of 'cut out' still spinning but total loss of power, i have since figured out that my stock 800mah eflite batteries, and nano tech 850's weren't quite up to the task, I bought a xtreme 950mah from fast lads to try out, what a huge difference it made.
So i am currently discharging/ balance-charging my other lipos to see if that helps.

Also maybe try do range checks to see if the tx & rx talk to each other at some distance? good luck hope you figure it out.

I haven't changed a thing on the settings of my heli. I was still getting to terms with it first before I do any of that stuff.

Basically yes. Flying along and then drop. Motor stops and nothing. Shame as I was having a good flight as well on intermediate.

Ihave a balancer and checker which levels out the power in the cells so know it's not the battery. Going to send all the bits back to hh and and letter explaining that these crashes are costing me money. They're not replacing any of it or even a sorry about any problems.

Flew today for the first time in months. Rusty or what!

Still, broken the duck for the year.

You do get rusty but I find you pick it up quite quickly. I was loving flying again until this happened. Sending whole thing back to hh.

Just about to jump on the good old sim. Not the same but nothing I can do
