Very nice...! I saved that one. (Gotta show dad)


Well guys.... I took up the Typhoon up on Sunday morning from fixing it from the first crash. I ran some small CF rods through the front of the fuselage, along with some glue on the fractured foam and it worked great ! Unfortunately, I had another crash ! In the EXACT same spot as the first one...[&:] What the hek.... So weird... I lost signal again. The first time I thought it may have been the streamer getting caught on the rear rudder, but I still had my doubts on the first one as that being the problem...

This time, I definately could tell I had no signal... I even put in the stock E-Flite 25 amp esc on this flight also. I took out the CC 45 amp one as just an experiement. I'am thinking its either my crappy RTF receiver, or crappy RTF TX... Or the long antenea (sp ?) hanging out the back on top of the rudder... Or its from my dads Eclipse 7 interfering with mine somehow, even though they are different frequencies. But I still don't trust running off a MHZ signal, never had, and never will...! I guess the CPP wrecked the trust for me there !

So I'am going to pick up another Ar6100 and bind it to my DX-7. But first, I will run it one more time but not at the same time as my dad. There was a CHP over on the freeway, that had someone pulled over as I noticed looking around for some guy hiding in the tall grass and trying to scramble our frequencies for a good time on a Sunday morning....

Anyway, it took a good fall from the sky and into the dirt. I was very surprised there was no damage ! Not even a bent prop or prop shaft. I think I'am gradually maker it stronger from crashing it now...Lol.. The video is 4 minutes, and the crash is at the end.... I put it in slow motion as you can see it fall like a rock...

How are you guys making your videos 'high quality' for You-Tube anyhow ? Cause this time I used Windows Movie Maker, but didn't see where that option would be.
