      Probably going to test fly the Nitro machine thursday as its my day off.

      Flying Wednesday morning with the Gasser though.

      I have 4 canopys now for the Predators Got 2 with the nitro one off ebay. 1 with the Gasser then I bought a spare off ebay...

      But the paint job is smart but thats going to be kept nice and tidy out of the way

      Hang on where were you all weekend? Shouldn't you of been flying Gasser was out and flying Sunday/Monday

            Apprently the Pred 90 has paint stiring blades according to 3DBasher.

            but your right no blades on either one.

                    I wish you luck with the Predators! mine is nowt but trouble, every time I get it out for a days session something always breaks on the bloody thing, getting a little sick of silly things going wrong with it at the moment.

                    For instance today I went with it and the tail pushrod snapped at the adjustment threads, didnt seem to be too much vibes on it as the tail fin wasnt shaking but it snapped all the same started piroing itself wildly into the deck!!

                    Ive had one of the 9252 servos pack in, the ball links on one of the cyclics worked itself out, and in general its not exactly being a reliable gasser so far! as I said every time I go with it something breaks!

                    Damage today after the hard piroing arrival has broken the landing gear frame, main blades,cracked the front side frames, bent the main shaft, stripped the crown gear, bent the tail shaft and wrecked the tail blades, and the landin skids are bent!! total bill is around 130 quid from Ricks in USA not including blades. If it dont start behaving itself soon its off on sale!

                      Sorry yours is having such bad luck with yours. My Gasser has no problems but the 90 is yet to be flown so you never know mine might be as bad yet.

                      But my Pred 90 will get its test flight Thursday if all goes well!

                              If I could I would but what with Cas being laid up I think it will be a long shot for me. Today was more of a stroke of luck! But thanks for the offer!

                              Hopefully all will be sorted in a few weeks!
