RE: New Axe is here!

Well, a day late and a dollar short.

I sliced my neighbors Mercedes in half with the laser. So the guy starts pissing and moaning at me and I took a page out of my 22 year olds book and blamed...

RE: New Axe is here!

Now I'm happy as a clam. While doing pre-flight and lubing up the bushings and whatnot, I noticed a small crack in the tail blade - I haven't hit it on anything I'm aware of. So I figure what the...

RE: New Axe is here!

Rick,

Thought about the extension cord but it's too heavy so I went with 40 gauge speaker wire. It's easy to see at night because it glows.

Yes, I have a 25 amp power supply. It's a...

RE: Getting an Axe CP

I just hit the link. Gone. Poop. I found a few others by searching "airwolf body"; most are like $100 for the T-Rex. I've got a line on a guy that has fiberglass bodies but I didn't bookmark it. He...

really stupid video

While waiting for my Axe CP to get here, I have plenty of time on my hands so I did a video. The copter is one of those cheapo Havocs. I finally [:@] got the stinking thing to fly straight. My cat...

RE: Getting an Axe CP

Nah, I don't need no retracts (or so I say now). There's an Ebay store that sells the bodies, 24" for about $30 bucks. Clear Lexan body that will be sure to trap heat so that everything melts inside,...

RE: Getting an Axe CP

I figured as much about the stock battery. I might stop in at the BatteriesPlus in town and see what they have. They fixed me up with a great 120/12 volt charger for the LiPo in my digital camera; I...

Blade CP purchase

I've read some other threads regarding the Esky Blade CP - now I'm purchasing one and have a few questions. With the RTF kit (new to r/c copters - want one already set up) I plan on getting Li-Po...

RE: rc-expert.com

I suspect we're talking about a different person/site. This is a straight purchase site - http://www.rc-expert.com/ - not a bidding site. Yes, this place is an "Ebay platinium powerseller", but I'm...

RE: newbie, sort of.

True, not a kid. But, kids don't shop at Harbor Feight (they bought the discontinued stock of these planes and sell them cheap). The real criminal part is that these things aren't designed correctly....

RE: newbie, sort of.

Okay, moved the motors outboard 3" each. In theory, this should...

RE: newbie, sort of.

Thanks for the welcome!

Well, I got the plane out of the tree, got a repair kit (new wings, props, etc.) and have a new plan. I'm going to make this thing fly.

newbie, sort of.

Howdy everyone, a new member here.

I've got years of experience in simulators so I understand the dynamics of flight. Now, I guess I caught the R/C bug; I bought a "yellow bee" plane for $29...
