I just can't get into the SIM. Not real enough to keep my attention.

Status: offline 		Hi guys! Is anyone still here? I can't believe that it's been a year since I last posted here! Well I have been flying my bigger birds and my MCPX but now I am going to venture into FBL and I am going to dig out the EXI-450 and build it up FBL to get some experiance with the setup.
Anyone have any tips?
Thanks in advance,
Huey

Status: offline 		Sounds like you've been busy. Seems EXI is now a dead brand and no longer carried by X-Heli. I have 3 flyable 450's (one is a scaler), and a crashed 500 I haven't repaired yet.
I think I've flown maybe twice since temps dropped below 40deg, a lot of wind this winter. Yep....I'm still around.

Status: offline 		Yeah, the weather has shut me down also. I have been slowly rebuilding my Protos 500 that went in with a bad servo and have been wanting to make it FBL for a while now but have been too chicken to make the jump.
I have an Align FBL and a Turnigy one and another brand that I can't name right now that I've been wanting to try out. FBL works so good in the MCPX that I just have to see what it's like in a bigger heli!

Status: offline 		Been thinking about FBL, haven't made the switch yet. I do have a 4 blade head and tail system that I've flown on one of the 450's, it's OK but I think it would be better with a FBL controller module. The 4 blade head and tail have a distinctive and utterly AWSOME sound and it's pretty FUN to fly even without a FBL controller. I have to bottom the expo out to fly it because on normal settings, it's just to sensitive.

I'm waiting on a guy to show up with a .90 NITRO heli he wants to dump. It's all there, has a scale body, and hasen't been crashed as far as I know. They just cant make it go higher than about 1ft off the ground and he just wants his money back....about $100. The sooner they get it here, the sooner he gets his money. I've been considering a nitro for a couple years but those things are expensive.

I also bought my first Harley almost 2 years ago, been BUSY with that. It's a 2001 sportster, and I made a custom bobber out of it. I sent all the painted parts to my brother in Dallas TX to be painted Dodge cherry red pearl coat. I should have the bike put back together by late April, it'll look like a show bike when I'm done.

Nitro is no big deal you just have to learn how to tune them. I always enjoy flying mine but they usually sit because I don't want to take the time to haul out the support stuff.
I just got the head and blades to complete my 450 FBL and I am on the verge of changing the Protos over. If I don't get to fly soon (darn wind!) I'll probably get distracted again and the helis will sit some more.

Yeah...I'll get a pic of the bike when it's done.

On the nitro, I agree on the support stuff as it can be a pain. A gallon of fuel is also EXPENSIVE now. but you get a LOT of flights out of a gallon. Another factor is the smell.....you gotta love that smell.

Weather....running 10deg+ below normal and it's been windy as all get out. I know I got about another week of this crap, and then I'll start seeing better daytime temps in the upper 50's to lower 60's. If we can ditch the wind then, I'll fly every day I can. I even hooked the plow back on my truck Friday....just in case. Didn't need it though but the next 3 days are calling for low 30's and snow about every day. I could get hit with a freak snowstorm anytime, but I'm ready.
