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

Crash ~

Just picked up some "OFF" with deet in it... Hopefully that will help ! It's so annoying those darn bugs... Yeah it seems loud, but a lot of it is the camera is sensitive to noise and picks up things very good...Lol.. And also it's an inrunner brushless motor that's geared, so I'am betting that adds to it also.

Either way it does the job better now that I put in the CC esc. Just on the forum here again today, (E-Flite) another guy's E-Flite 25a esc burned up and caught on fire...Lol.. I couldn't even tell ya how many times I've came across E-Flites esc's catching fire or cutting out due to overheating. Sorry Jay, I know ya like em, but man it's crazy ! Luckily Horizon has good customer service and even replaced one guy's plane and all, from it also catching fire a few weeks back.

With the Blade 400 this is beginning to be a repetitive problem since I've been snoopin' on the forum. A lot of guy's are just replacing there esc asap along with the servos and a few other things. This is what prompted me to wait on the B-400 and to go with the Mini-Titan E325 SE instead, here in time... By the time ya start replacing stuff, you might have well just got a TREX...LMAO... I give em credit for trying though.........

Have ya maidened the new NAVY heli ?! Windier than heck here today....And getting hot again. 104 degrees for today they say....Thank goodness I replaced that esc !

Take care,
