Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

Remember reading about my flights yesterday? Took out the tail skid and one side landing skid. Got it back together and it just didn't seem like it was flying right and that I lost a lot of stability. Today, I threw on a new main motor. Man!!!! what a difference! I still got two new tail motors and a main motor comming from BPH. Then again, if you hover like I do...you'll go through them. I'd guess I hover 2 to 3 hours per day (what else am I going to do with a broken hand?). I did get that 1916 Mauser finished up. What a thing of beauty it turned out to be. It kicked my hiney though. Never had one take a week to restore. Back to the heli thing... Never broke a landing skid on a CP or a CP-Pro before (stock skids). That was a suprise. So now...thinking about superskids. Dave, post a link where you got yours.

Arrow,

It certainly is a frustrating hobby, one way or the other. You're having difficulties getting help with your new radio. I don't have the Futaba so I can't help ya on that one.

You may have read about my major crash yesterday, I was so mad at myself last night I couldn't hardly see straight. I MUCH BETTER today, thanks to CRASHCRASH and his words of wisdom. I'm rebuilding it,, AGAIN, second time in about 2 weeks.. Luckily there were no electrical things damaged. So the repair is not that much in $$$, just time and a few bucks.

Arrow: I can under stand the Few Beers, But, what's up with the NAP stuff, tuff it out. (Jes-Kidding you know that)

CRASHCRASH:
Again, thanks for the Boost... I do remember your history of problems, with all the interference problems you had. Trying several 4n1 and 3n1's, different servos, even the dyman receiver. I'm glad that the DX6 got you flying again, now you can concentrate on that aspect of the hobby..

Thanks to all you Weeeeeeeee guys on the thread, everyone has good inputs and good questions, we are all here to help each other,

Dave / Choppersrule

Well, I am getting nowhere fast on this Futaba radio........ Have posted ?'s in 3 different forums and zero responses. Am beginning to wonder if the computer radio thing is a closely guarded secret and known only to those who have passed the trial of fire and blood. Tried to email Futaba directly, got an automated response that I sent them a blank email. Might go back to stock and just bag this whole affair for awhile. Catch up with you guys later....after a couple beers and some nap time...heh
