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

Now that's what I call a fish....!!!!!!!!
Take a helluva lotta chips for that monster.......can't remember when I had decent fish 'n chips made by someone else....even Dearly Departed loved my fish and chips.....no one does chips like Ray.
Another HBK2 investor.....?
Love mine but just had a battery go south after about 16-20 charges. My LHS sold me a Thunder Power rated at 2100 mah.....just a mite heavier than the stock battery but flight times are a bit better.
The stock battery when charged by the stock charger showed a dim LED for one cell so I bought a Blinky monitor/balancer and hooked up to my Triton and put it through a 2 hour discharge cycle and now it's going through a Triton charge cycle.....so far, things are OK with no abnormalities.
Survived the birthday intact....I was right about the treachery:
Mid afternoon lady bass player friend drives up with guitar playing buddy in tow. I am to get cleaned up and go with them. Was taught never to answer back to a lady so proceeded to do as I was bid.
I was led to the van and taken to a nice supper by two great friends and it was indicated to me that I was not going to bed that night without playing.
"But I didn't bring anything to play", says I.
"What you need is in the car", says Charlie.
We drove to the club and there's Charlie's band waitin' fer us.
Yeah, I did play.....quite a bit actually.
You see, Charlie's band uses a Hammond organ in it's lineup so not only did folk see me on bass and guitar but Charlie announced that I would "do the next set on keys".
Nearly all the folk at the club have seen me play bass and guitar but it went over well when I got behind that beautiful Hammond.
I do believe that a good time was had by all.
Been kinda queasy the last few days.....been doing some forensic work on an industrial accident involving steam and they've been cutting concrete nearby in order to put a new valve station to bypass the damaged one.
Everyone been bound to secrecy 'cos of pending litigation but two of us knew what had happened as soon as we saw it.
Local temperatures have become a bit more civilized so the birds have been flying.
I think I'm gonna have to replace the esc in the 400. She loses power about three minutes in....I land and spool down and I'm able to take off again almost immediately. It happens with all my batteries and after consultation with my LHS heli guru we believe an esc may be faulty and he suggests using an Align unit for a Rex. Gotta wait for three days for one to arrive....thank heaven I have the HBK2.
Must be gone....long drive through lousy traffic tomorrow.
