  • Yes I did, Trex700N......First flight and I think the FBL controller had the elevator and Aileron plugs come out more or less the some time, first
    time I regained some sort of control....but not the second, lucky it was only about 4 feet off the ground........still not a pretty sight. when I examined the wreckage these 2 plugs were nearly out, thats all I could think of after many, many flights... never mind it will repair!!

      • A great day of flying/ tweaking on the 600N V2 and pushing the right rudder envelope, got to see the maiden of my mate's 600N DFC (and have a go myself ) . New rear bearing required for the 700 though but on the upside it's one less heli I had to clean when I got home.

          Mine was flying fine, it just had really low head speed at 65% jive settings (tached at 1650!) for some reason. All I wanted today is to see if it flies. It does, so I am happy. May rethink my blade length/pack size strategy, not many 3500 mah or bigger lipos fit, 4000 mahs are too fiddly to get in and too close to 3rd bearing block, so I won't be using this size.
          43 mm height seem to be max with velcro, I don't do so called snug fits because it's asking for trouble and annoys me . Just looked at optipowers ultra and they are borderline at 44.5 mm.
          I may go 600 mm blades and use 3300mah packs. Currently 620 blades and 3.6 packs.
          Protos was amazing with new cgy750 1.3 firmware, my next heli is getting cgy750 for sure.

            • Full day of it today and a good one considering the start (lipo fire in the kitchen). 4 tanks through the 600 4 packs through the 500 and 2 through the 130 with my first backward flight and inverted hover in real life. And a few cheeky flips. Can't wait for next weekend

                    • Flew 4 batteries on my 450; lovely and smooth, even some nose ins with confidence. Went back in the house to do some jobs. Then back out again at 18:30 for some more flying. One battery in the 450, then one battery in the scale Hughes 500D, a second battery on the 450, then on the next, 20ft up,heard the tail drive belt break and the heli started spinning. Not had a crash in ages.......until now!

                      Fixing it will delay the build of my 700e; oh well, that's life sometimes!

                              • After 6hrs Saturday & 8hrs Sunday at the field I thought I'd pop over after work for a few flights,,,
                                Ended up only doing 3 flights with the heli as my thumbs were going numb, so I got the plank out & had 4 fights with that...
