  • First damage to my Trex 500 :O

    Pointed out by Ross at retford wetlands today... When i built the trex i used the grey softer dampers, and they were so knackered the feathering shaft could be felt touching the head block!

    Anyway moved on the kevstevens and Marc kindly fitted my black set also supplied in the kit, under supervision from lee! No loctite mark?!

    Any way, the heli handled much better after that, and i carried on with some side on hovering practice, and when most of the members had gone i dared my first stall turn! came out a bit too fast, had to dodge the heli again and let it fly past untill it was tail in again and i could pull it back safely!

    Overall a good day!

    But its a lot better ?

    The black dampners will last longer than the grey ones thats for sure.

      No mark, you said you were not responsible when it crashes through 'building errors!' hence now you are fully to blame when i learn how to crash

      Yes much better mate, that and the increased piro rate make it much more confidence boosting

      to think 2 months ago i couldnt keep a hbk2 in the air for more than 60 seconds
