It's all good, Max. The 500 will be up flying by the weekend. Maybe tomorrow if I'm up to it. Today Ifound the top bearing block was actually bent inward. Ordered that, too. UGH.

Max, you and you spray paint, bro. You're definitely bored! Good luck with the golf team! Kick some butt!


Today, I flew my Velocity 50... 4 tanks... Flybarred! That was a biggie. Turns out, it was all a mental block. I'm not so certain Ishould convert it to FBL, now.

Looks great Alex! So are you getting a live feed as you fly it? if so that's pretty awesome.


So I just ordered my second Mini Titan (brand spanking new) for a very good deal that I didn't want to pass up. I'm thinking I'm just going to let the 250 sit on the shelf for awhile, but I'll definitely make sure it gets up and flying. Geez, 3 helis!!! [X(]

Scott/Max,

I dont really have plans, i just started cutting. If you really want i can measure everything for ya.

Max, yes that is the live feed i fly with through the goggles. I have some more action i did today after work.

Im thinking about stripping my EZ-Star for OSDand make my antenna tracker work with it. Im having a blast.

Alex,

Na... if you winged it, it should be cool. Do you have a list of the electronics you used? I'm super interested in this. It looked so cool to do.

Power Distro Board: http://store.jdrones.com/product_p/quadpdpcb1.htm , or you can make something similar like : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1399712


The motor i linked doesn’t come with prop adaptor or bullets. The firmware that comes with the board is preloaded for "+" setup. If you want X you can set the board up in "+" and use delta mix to fly it as "X". You can change the firmware as well: http://lazyzero.de/en/modellbau/kkmulticopterflashtool Programmer: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200460739146&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWNX:IT





Ivan,

FAQYEA!!!!!!! Ilike the coi/gold fish. It's pre-cut and hase carbon in it. Pretty sweeet/but with shipping it comes out to be the same as a Swift IIand mini Swift.
