RE: Shocky action!
First the hub that the prop ruberbands to came off the drive shaft while hovering in HobbyTown's asphalt parking lot. Splat. Damn. John was kind enough to make me a deal on foam safe CA 
Then friday morning, I was flying in my backyard and the whole drive shaft came out of the gearbox and i sorta glided into a cherry tree (good catch tree!). John Wondra kindly climbed the tree to retreive it
And yes, I sortof deadsticked John's TopCap and sorta hit a little hard... [

RE: Shocky action!
it fliers ok but you can only get about 30 secodns hover before it needs a short break... that's the problem... also the tail is twisting so much the knife egde turns are almost impossible in a hurry... you use elevator and it juast screws out... i'll sort that out on my nerw one though.
Did you notice i accidnelty included the saem clip 3 tiems in that video? lol
The hall is our local ice rink... costs £120 for a few hours.

RE: Shocky action!
55 is .13. That's way faster than your JR digis 
I wouldn't put 50s in it. They're kinda low on torque. 55s are .28 ounces. Gramify that.
30 seconds??? Whaaaaaaaa? I fly 4.5 minutes of hovering with only a few seconds out of that to get all screwed up and reenter...
