Trug,
I replaced the stock crystal and tried it on the stock tx, hoping to eliminate any programming/mixing problems. Same deal. *sigh* I'm thinking maybe I should go separate and eliminate the 3 in 1 in favor of more quality components. But that's actually some heavy bank 'cause I'd need a gyro and tail rotor esc. The intelligent thing to do would be go brushless all around like you said in the other thread, but I have to decide if I want to spend that much on this little guy. i mean, I started a thread in another forum about our little Sunday flying sessions. What I left out is that getting on these spaces involves a good bit of cloak and dagger work. Today we managed to get in a gym used for cricket for about an hour until we got kicked off. A couple of weeks ago all we could score was a raquet ball court. We've come to enjoy the hunt as much as the flying. A few slightly hung over dudes, sneaking around the athletic dept of a major university, packing tons of E heli gear while shouting on cell phones,"where are you? " "All these floors look the same." "score! this door's open! third floor guys!" Today the guy with the trex was doing a funnel about a foot off the ground and ran into a matt. I thought it was pretty funny. He didn't. So since we're short on space, always looking over our shoulders and basically goofing off, I think I should just get the 3 in 1 and keep costs line with planned use. All of us fly bigger more expensive aircraft once it gets warm. So the little guy is, well, the little guy.
