Ok,,same old stuff i know but another good weekend is in store,i am planning a full day at DMHC tomorrow to put some more time on my 600N and have a play with my revitalised Knight Sport

Geegar is gonna be doing some data logging with his 600E between FP packs and Revo packs and i am very keen to see the results,,nice one Matt


Just wondered what everybody else had planned,especially interested in 600N stuff

I'll be doing the set up on the GY401 in my MP after discovering I havent done it yet.... only been flying like it for two years! Guess my mechanical set up must be almost spot on....

I'll also be testing out and setting up my Roxxter 11 this weekend and If I can crib together some paddles I'll be testing out the re-built hornet.

I plan on being down the field for both sat and sunday weather permitting...

Saturday, buy more fuel, go flying.

Some flying to be done
Cheers,
Rob

I'll be flying the 600N as much as possible on saturday, the Synergy may not get a look in this weekend

Will also be stripping the gear out of my Raptor 50 and beginning the build of my 2nd 600N (gloat gloat )

My wife and wee one are off to Portugal until Thursday.. so best I make hay while the cats away... (Mixed that up a bit!) and it's my last day at work before we leave for SA! Woohoo!
Need more fuel!
Need more skill!
Need more sun!
But.. it's gonna be fun!

I'm a poet!

Interested week for me.

Bought my first plank (Banshee off 3DJIM) and flew it on wednesday. Did a couple of flights and got on OK. Somehow blanked out while flying, let it get away and put her in hard. write off..

Had trouble with my old 3D where Hyper is OK, then it goes lean on me for no reason. Belt snapped on spoolup on Friday.

Then got down today and switched on my TX........dead. Left the DX on charge overnight on automatic on the constellation. The internal fuse had blown. Luckily one of the "top" guys TT John lent me his fuse out of his DX7 .

Flew my 450 v2 and coming out of a backwards loop 401 blew out and swapped orientation. Not pleasant as it happens so quick and luckily didn't crash.

Then on my last flight of the day came out of a tick tock and the tail went, hit throttle hold and managed to auto her in. Ran to the heli as the 9254 was smoldering and unplugged the servo.... phew. One knackered 9254.

Went to work with heatstoke and a migraine!

[Boggy]

wow Richie an expensive week then!!!!

[ChrisB]

Richie

It could have been worse,both of your saves were very well done,that was a cool bit of recovery in both cases and i was impressed

[richieclarkie]

Thanks Chris. Yestderday was laugh tho wasn't it. Distinct smell of cheese and putty in the air.

Wierdly I was thinking that morning on the way to the field about whether I would be able to react quick enough if I lost the tail and find throttle hold. I guess the stick time pays off.

Grounded today because have no fuse for my TX

Boggie.... tell me about it. I'd also just bought a V2.
