Status: offline 		Nice job bro!

One note though: When inverted, see how loud your heli gets? That's an indication your headspeed is very high. Now I have to say, I don't know anything about a 30 size heli as I have a Raptor 50, but mine sounded like this too until I adjusted the middle points in the idle 1 throttle curve. Or you could always run a governor.....

Nice flying!

I did recently get a throttle jockey Pro governor, but have been too lazy to take the engine out and drill a hole into the cooling fan and epoxy a magnet in it......maybe after a wreck where I HAVE to tear it down....

Dont say wreck (knock on wood) say close call lol.I have the mid points up cause I have the OS.32 in it and this motor is a TURD.Everytime I went out I had a very close call with the ground cause the motor bogged pretty bad.I guess im the same way (lazy lol) cause I have a brand new OS.37 and need to put it in.I think my luck is running out lol so the OS.32 is half way out.Im not sure of how many tanks to run through it for break-in so I think 4-5 should be good.
