Thanks Don, I was going to buy some later after the bikes back on the road & i see that the prices have come right down too but for now i was using the 3 i have that's useable lol. One of them (the newest) a cell has died completely. I still need to get it flying right with these packs so that any new packs aswell & i can use bank switching to go between set ups. I also need to take the tail servo apart as it has a notch at centre so it may need new gears. Hey i could do with a large glass of that JD you were drinking last night lol.

Oh the 'newest' is a fourth pack which i cannot use obviously unless i remove that dead cell

Had 6 flights this morning. 4 on the 550sx and 2 on the T500. Bloody cold out though.

Had the big bird out yesterday (Sunday) for some nice practice flying (not found a club/safe flying ground in Cardiff yet) until well.... I binned it
Weather was nice and calm and everything was geared for a few more good flights. same about the mix of conditions that I just didn't see coming.

Had 4 flights on the goblin 500 today, I seem to be getting better at last lol

My first thought is static.

My Warp was fine, from when I got it in summer 2013, 'til the middle of 2014 when I'd suddenly lose power for no apparent reason. Over and over.

Sure enough, as soon as I bonded the boom to the frame (and checked it with a meter), all the problems went away. I followed this post here: HeliFreak - View Single Post - Grounding tail boom?

You might also need to sand off some of the paint on the boom to match where it contacts in the boom block.

Pleased to say that fitting the spare antistatic kit i had seemed to have sorted the problem for 4 flights. Couldnt test it any further than that as i got too cocky with attempting piroflips and flopped blades first into the mud - ouch!

New mains, a few bearings and a rotor hub, plus a bodge-it repair of a canopy mount and a skid; not bad for a propper spanking!

had a dreadful flight with the 130x. power would drop and tail vibe was out of control.
i think the gears were spinning on the tail.
i decided to put a 150 stretch on it with the bearing half way along the boom.
new gears and changed some bearings. it is running sweet as anything with normal size blades.
i have gone a bit mad on upgrades on it lately.
time to calm down.
i may be selling it if i can tame the 180cfx

Result!

I flew my Warp yesterday (3 flights). It's still not 100% right, but I think my problem might be cyclic gain related, and I've been chasing a tail problem. I was going to fly the X3 too, but after noticing play in the grips, I checked my spindle bolts. Sure enough, they've been backing out. Red loctite for them I think.

I also maidened my Agile 5.5 on 12S. Wow. Had I known it would be that good, I'd never have bothered trying 6S. Looks like I'm keeping that bad boy now.

Had a bit of a 30 size nitro session today. 4 on the Hirobo Shuttle and 3 on the Raptor 30. Also had a couple of flights on the 700e which felt like a rocket after the 2 nitros!
