Re-activating this old thread..................
Been out of RC for a while. Sold almost everything off, but I kept my THREE mighty EK-4's. They are awesome rigs. I equipped one with a 2-spd, and am getting ready to run it. I spent yesterday tweaking and adjusting, and setting it up with new TX and RX (Spektrum). This unit really flies with the 2-spd. It will wheelie (of course) in first gear, but it also wheelies when it shifts into 2nd. I haven't run the thing in 5 years, but I am stoked to fire it up.
Now I gotta go buy some 30% heli fuel.... booyah!
I'll see if I can find some pics.......
Below is my 'custom' EK-4. This thing is beautiful (it's a shelf queen, but has been carefully run a couple of times). I am trying to find someone to paint me a nice purplish body to match this anodizing. Does anyone know a decent custom painter?
