Arrow and Atzanik,
Both of ya have great videos,,
Arrow, can't believe the dog, didn't even care the heli was over his/her head. Great flying too.
Atzanik, none of the crashes looked to aweful bad... I loved the one where the heli went nose in the snow and the tail boom was sticking out of the snow like a small flag.
Atzanik, you may have the HS55 mod done by now, but the first one will take ya awhile, the other two will go very quickly.
Take your time.. Test all the servos before and after modification.

Hey Choppers,
I got that HS55 mod done. What a messterpiece that was. Those are some tiny wires in there... not much room to solder, etc. Seems to have worked out okay, all the servos are working, and rotating in the right direction now. I did notice that two of the 3 servos were identical inside, and the third one had an extra brown wire to the motor casing. I purchased all at the same time, and all three look identical on the outside. Weird. At any rate, having completed that cleaned up a bunch of stuff off my work bench.
Yesterday was a pretty good day, not only did I get to those HS55s at last, but I also received a bunch of blade parts that I had ordered. I did the bell hiller upgrade on one of my CPs last night. Looks good. Seems to have a lot less slop now. The wind was up again so I didn't get a chance to fly it, but I hope the wind stays down today and I'll get a chance after I get out of prison, er I mean work.
