my first pack this morning went good.. the mars hovered above my head resulting to lost of orientation.. throttled down immediately and the mars landed hard which i thought the skid broke by the looks of it... the skid actually came apart clean , all i had to do is pop the skid back in its place and lock it with the spongy foam.. whaam-baam thank you mam!![sm=49_49.gif] a quick fix with no money spent[:D]

1 flight today and i stuck my 450 35' up a tree which i climbed in shorts only and sandals and proceeded to fall out the last ten feet when a limb broke. scrapes and scuffs lol but o got my heli!!!! :) :) :)

im fine but i busted 1 of my really good CF blades, main shaft, CF boom in half, mavrikk belt, broke the flybar off in the gorilla paddle but i pulled a trick and saved the paddle. about a 50 dollar wreck. lucky i have all the peices and its almost ready to fly after a hour or so.



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/16/2008 4:52:31 AM)

3 pacs on the 450 and 2 on the 500.

at almost like im taking steps backwards lately

i was bringing in the 500 to land, i was in normal mode and i came in and ended up sideways and instead of getting it rite i flipped it upside down to punch out with negative. problem was i was in normal mode. so no power inverted lol but it did slow the heli down as i hit TH and she dropped 15' and i hear crunch crunch. heli gods were smiling as i only had a stripped servo which i have MG,s for anyway and the plastic canopy mount busted off. i was flying a short while ltr and its actually set up a hair better and seems to fly cleaner when i reset the swash

Got a blackhawk 450 yesterday and flew my first 2 packs today after work. I'm new so I was just doing some hovering about 4-5' high. Wow, what a rush! Did a little bush trimmin but no damage. I love this hobby!

thats a fun little bird it was my first



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/18/2008 4:25:17 AM)

maidend my 600 today and it exploded in mid air. $130 in damage. frame busted up and a few odd odd,s and ends. considering main blades are 90 bucks i got off cheap and whn im done the heli will be better then ever.


flew the 500 today and had a clean flight. inverted hovering, barrel rolls and i worked on my cornering and they are progressing

if you want more info on the 600 crash its on the main thread at helifreak at the top



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/22/2008 3:45:20 AM)

2 flights 450 1 on the 500

me thinks this thread is dead or close to it lol



Magic Hook -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/22/2008 4:05:18 PM)

Hey Sprout, I read that mid air explosion over at the Freak. Wow! Did you ever figure out what happend for sure? Canopy?

Flew the maiden flight on my 600e yesterday just hovering. Flew it again this morning with some ff. All is good so far. I did put 20% expo in it. I am really happy with how it turned out though. Its one serious heli!



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/23/2008 5:08:46 AM)

1 flight 500 normal stuff.


hook i think the lipo swelled when i hit idle up popping the strap ejecting the lipo that did not have enough velcro on them

my landlord was watching and he said he saw the main blades hitting the tail blades as well at the same time. i find that hard to believe but who knows all i know is ive got the new frame rebuilt im putting servos in now and shell be up in a few days

by the way nice lookin heli man!!!!!!! [8D]



noobflyer01 -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/28/2008 3:15:11 AM)

went to a retention pond with my friend to go flying. first pack with the mini titan was awesome.[:D]. plenty of rolls. i also did a few flips. my friend went on the next pack. he has the mars40 with lights and strobs. looks real nice. behind us was a storm coming. but we didnt care. my friend was doing some forward flight and had a brain fart then dive straight into the ground.[:o]. signifcant damage was done to his heli. i went next on my titan and the wind gusts was picking up. i didnt care and flew anyway. while i was in idle up the wind gusts picked up big time. it was so bad my titan was dipping up and down violently. i had to bring her in. barely bought her in and hit the throttle kill. she dropped like a rock about 3 feet up and broke the landing gears. whew.[X(]. i escaped with broken skids and nothing else.[:D]. i already have the super skids so that will be the first upgrade.[:D]. not so with my friend's bird though. looks like a total rebuild.



HeLiTuBBies -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/28/2008 4:07:29 AM)

2 packs with my mars and 3 on my BH... i'm still on the hovering phase and i would bring it up 15 feet up in the air once in a while and go back down on a 3-4 foot hover.. i finaly scratch the tip of my cf blade on the BH trying to do quick lefts and rights intentionally.. baam! the blade licked the concrete pavement[:D] i kept flying the BH after that, no real damage done..

my BH is more stable than ever and i can probably let go of the stick on a good trim, it just gets boring hovering like that so i would do quick left and right stick inputs to make it fun[:D]



noobflyer01 -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/28/2008 5:01:24 AM)

good to hear your about your progress HT..[:D]. if i may suggest.... after you learn your tail in hover. do the right side in hover till you get bored with tears in your eyes. then the left side in. it doesnt matter which side in you learn first. just learn them.[;)]. if you get into trouble go back to tail in hover. pretty soon you'll be zipping around likes its second nature.



Edwinssiv -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/28/2008 12:01:12 PM)

I have been without a flying heli for almost 2 weeks now. Told the wife I have to get at least one flying...went to LHS and got all the parts for the TRex and she is flying again!!!
I had to remove one side of upper frame because one of the canopy mounts broke off and had to replace one of the HS65MG because is bound up and would not move. so after 5 hours of pulling everything apart and putting it all back together she is flying as good as ever. The wind prevented me from flying more than one pack...it kicked up right a t the end of my flight and made landing interesting.
My wife told me to go ahead and get the Mars flying again so parts are on their way...shoud be back in the air with it by the end of the week.



noobflyer01 -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (7/28/2008 12:29:42 PM)

edwin your parts is defintely on its way. went to dave's and he had a package ready for shipping on his table. [:D]
dave had a pretty hard crash yesterday. [:o]. i did too but it was more like a hard landing ,broke the skids on my titan.



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/2/2008 5:33:16 AM)

ok 600 went up yesterday for a mild pac

the 450 went up today and im working on long figure eights in front of me with banked turns at the ends. i got a few good banked turns in and some that looked ugly but i threw in a few barrel rolls for good luck lol.

the 500 went up today and i worked on collective management in rolls and flips and half pac of inverted hovering.

im going to tighten up my sticks so i can get more feedback on some of my flips im giving right and left input when i should not



Edwinssiv -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/2/2008 5:35:51 PM)

I have only been able to get in maybe one pack in the evenings lately. The winds have been kicking up about the time I get home...it figures. But I have been working on my FFF and maintaining level flight in the wind...with the TRex 450 that has been tough! but I am getting better at it. Flips and rolls have been clean and easier to do(no more racing heart rate and adrenoline rush)...I still have not gone inverted outside of the sim...I have been stalling a little in my flips...but I have just not stopped all the way yet.



noobflyer01 -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/3/2008 5:01:39 AM)

flew one pack with the titan today. and it was its last. had a major crash that nearly destroyed it. cost of repairs is the cost of a new kit. [:'(]. wasnt impressed with its flying characteristics anyway. i keep leaning back to the trex as the smoothest and cleanest 450 size heli available.



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/4/2008 6:42:11 AM)

bummer man good luck with the rest of them



Edwinssiv -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/4/2008 4:41:41 PM)

I got a couple of packs in over the weekend...but the winds prvented me from doing too much other than basic FF and orientation hovering for training.



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/6/2008 6:07:07 AM)

1 pac 450 1 on the 500 and 1 on the 600 :) no wrecks.

well working on banked cornering on all 3 helis and it was ugly lol the cleanest was the 600 and i think i got about 5 clean nice looking right banking turns in.

inverted hovering on all and im holding a little tighter but im not ready to do any weed eatin in the near future thats for sure.



321 -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/6/2008 8:27:31 AM)

[;)]



Edwinssiv -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/6/2008 3:47:24 PM)

I finished getting the Mars back together and flew out 3 packs yesterday before the rain came in. A nice breeze going and the Mars flew wonderfully in it. Now that I have the 9257 on the tail I am more comfortable flying it as the tail is rock solid...pulled my first flips with the Mars. Very smooth, pulled them easy with no problems. I think with the stability on this heli I will attempt to try inverted hovering now...



noobflyer01 -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/9/2008 12:18:10 AM)

edwin... i just had a similar experience today. took the mars480 to the park and flew out 2 packs. and it was justr about to rain too. winds gust didnt bother with the mars.flys smooth.[:D]. i havnt tried any flips or rolls with it because i dont want to chance it. but eventually i will have too.[>:]. the logitech with the 9257 i have on mine is super sweet!. i also fixed my trex450. its all setup with 65hb's cyclic, and all metal head and tail. all i need now is a new gyro. i think my gy401 is malfunctioning. its not behaving like when its new. i may have crashed one too many times with it.[8|]. gonna get another logi 2100t for it.



srouthouse -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/11/2008 3:24:41 AM)

1 pac 450 1 pac 600

still working on banked turns



Edwinssiv -> RE: Member Daily Flight Rreports (8/11/2008 10:18:31 AM)

We went camping for 4 days and I took the helicopters with me...too many people around so I did not feel comfortable to take them out. But when I got home I flew one pack in each of the TRex and the Mars. Only basics on both....nothing fancy.
