Well spoken my friend, you'd make a good lawyer for the Corporate argument lol. I have been wondering why my ESC suddenly caught fire, now the Vendor from Gadgetworldexports on ebay was very obliging, a Mr. Lee, I explained my problem, in text form that is, I expressed extreme saddness, and dismay because the product I have been waiting over twenty years for suddenly burst into flames! Anyway I'm lucky, they are sendig me the 3900KVmotor with ESC for it, along with T connector HH-gyro and 10 pinion gear. So, I cannot complain, I think this guy should be an example of how other overseas businesses should preform. and if they are not willing to backup what they sell good-ridance! Some wealthy suit type will prob say the obvious like business is about making money blah, blah if that is the case the One Company I wish had some Balls is Chevy, they leave customers hanging unless we can come up with loot! what's happening in Corp. america greed is not good. "This is coming from a Vet, who has they say keeps it real, works hard not behind a desk etc. yeah I would love to use my Professional skills in transport and Security gained over many years to land a personnel drivers job with a wealthy family, but I'm also no "Yes" Man, I am just a simple solider! at heart forever.[8D]
Got sidetracked, I wonder is the HH-gyro , and ESC upgrade better than the stock, I cannot afford to get burned if ya catch my drift.
A simple prayer of Blessing's for those who have lost loved one's in Service of this Nation, I know we sometimes go a bit too far in my opinion in helping other nations, I also beleive we should dump the UN and Muslims who care less about us and tree huggers, use our own oil. stop letting our Boys die for people who don't give a crap! we need to support Israel and let them unload some real weapons! Patton was right, we shoulda taken over everything!!! to many fairies in politics these days.

EricOnTheWeb -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 12:37:12 AM)

Hey, thanks for that video.. it really helped to give an idea of what to expect, and I have to say that it looks quite intimidating, but that's part of the fun..and challenge.
As soon as I get my radio system, I'm gonna start the build up.. Pretty cool stuff.

Thanks, Nuttcaze.. keep up the good work...



Empty Wallet -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 8:27:11 AM)

Well, I have my CopterX on order with Heli-Bros. $205 shipped for the SE-V2. Spoke with Steve the owner, says it should be here by tomorrow. Great guy. Loves to fly too. Told me if I have any questions with the build or set up to just give him a call.
In the end, I have to agree with plane pounder. Will have to hang out here just for the fun of it.
Mabe to bust on you guys a bit too.
Anyway, here is the rest of the build if any of you are curious;

1-2221-V8 Scorpion brushless motor
1-45A Scorpion ESC w/5a BEC
3-HS65MG servo
1-f9650 tail servo
1-2100 Logictec HH Gyro
1-2200mah 25C Zippy LiPo
1-AR6200 receiver

Note for Druss, Yeah you were right. In the end it will cost three times what a Belt would. But thats because I decided NOT to put crappy parts into this build. The lesson I have learned from all of this is if you buy cheap, you buy twice and you will still have nothing to show for it.

I found a guy locally that flys like an Ace. Its one thing to watch someone on video. Its completely different when you see some of these stunts done right in front of you.
He loves to fly and has offered to help train me.

I am going to fly the crap out of this thing!



mattydred -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 10:30:00 AM)

i need to upgrade my esc in my belt cp (has esky 3800 motor) - what do you lot recommend? should i own up to spending £500gbp on building my belt cp? but saying that it is full carbon and cnc and has got a 401/9560, futaba ff7, schulze reciever and have 4 lipo's for it.

That was my point all along empty, you don't want to put crappy components into a better heli because you'll be reducing it's available performance. My entire point has been that if you replace the esc for $25 on the belt cp it's fine for training as that's what it's meant for. I have 10 helis and still have my belt cp because I do things on it that I would never do on my more expensive helis. Read my past posts and I think you'll agree with me.

"buy cheap, buy twice" does apply but so what when it's with a purpose? I'd rather crash my belt cp and be able to completely replace it 3 times than crash my trex 450se even once (much less my hirobo lepton or trex 600N pro). I can try stupid things like inverted hurricanes and if I total the belt cp I don't really care.



nuttcaze -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 5:50:27 PM)

I want more helis [sm=cry_smile.gif]



Druss -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 7:06:28 PM)

Hmm let me see...

1 x HBKII
1 x Belt CP
1 x Trex 450se
1 x HDX 450se v3
2 x Hirobo Lepton EX
3 x Hurricane 550
1 x Trex 600N Pro

and last but not least my lama v3.



nuttcaze -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 8:36:02 PM)

I want more helis [sm=cry_smile.gif]





LOL, soon, I've saving for my next heli, another e-smart, but think I'm going as cheap as I can cause there will be a real risk of never getting it back, plan on strapping a vid cam to take some really cool vid from the air in dangerous places, but hope to have that by next month, and besides for a few misc projects (unless the ESky 900 comes way down in price[8|]) prob stop there. Then just start stock piling spares [:D]

Wait was I saving for something [sm=confused.gif]



HowNot2fly -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 9:03:19 PM)

WHAT??????? e-sky 900?[X(]where? i have to see that,far as making vids from the air try the flycamone2,about $100.00 and you can strap it to your hbfp,it`s not the best cam but it is a good start and somewhat can take the crash[:D]



Empty Wallet -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 10:28:59 PM)

You want MORE Helis????

Dude, you need a girl friend.






Well, at least a part time girl friend..... Or something.
(Or you can rent one now and then) [:D]

A girl friend that is into helis would be a great find ;)
Would be fun exchanging gifts during the holiday season heheh. [:D]



HowNot2fly -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/21/2008 11:17:17 PM)

LMAO @ last 2 comments,i hope when my wife get home from work she will understand what i just did(yep another heli[:D]),if i dont post with in next 5hr send the search and rescue team[:D],



nuttcaze -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/22/2008 1:35:55 AM)

Oh the 900 isn't really a 900 size, thats just the name, its more like a 500-550 size, blade diameter is like 9" shorter then the E-Smart and 9" bigger then the Belt CP, but right now they few places that sold some were selling them at really high prices, don't think anymore are available right now, the release kept getting pushed back.




I can get a girlfriend after I own all the helis I want and know how to fly them, then I'm not trying to explain why I just bought another heli (cause I'll already have the ones I want) and I won't be crashing nearly as much so I wouldn't have to explain why I spend so much time crashing and fixing and crashing and fixing, or why I just spent $100 on spare parts that I know I'll just end up breaking anyways, lol [:D][:D][:D] I can wait a little longer [:)]



HowNot2fly -> RE: POOF! DOWN IN FLAMES!!! (5/22/2008 1:48:59 AM)

THE HELI REHAB, hi my name is HowNot2fly and i`m hooked on heli`s,i have completed the first step and now i`m ready for more heli`s[:D],sorry
