Lol.... You can't have your EXI at work, but you have to bring some pics just in case you start getting the shakes and need a fix, to look at it at least huh ?! I've been flying the CPP lately, and using the stock TX the idle up switch is located in the upper righthand corner as you remember..... Well that video of the CPP you saw above, I flew the Trex 450 right afterwards with the DX7....

The DX7's upper righthandside toggle is the throttle hold switch.... When I first fired up the 450, I ran a couple warm-up laps in normal mode to gently make sure everything was good to go before I started to wring her out.. Well I must have put in a batt that wasn't charged all the way like I thought and I heard the LVC lick-in I thought so I brought the 450 in closer and then was going to flip it into idle up to see if I can tell quicker...

Luckily I was only above the deck, because instead of flipping the idle up switch I grabbed the throttle hold switch which confused me into a brainfart and I cut power ! Lol.... Been so dang use to the CPP's stock TX... I wasn't expecting power loss, but for it to grab some series rpm's and getting ready to rocket up, not down... LMAO... So the blades scuffed the deck just a tad and blew my tracking off as I inspected it at the field. I'll have to look at it really quick tonight... That flight only lasted a minute or so...

The Logo 10 is becoming my favorite heli... Its the easiest to manueuver around in my small yard more than the smaller ones that are just more fidgity. Do I sense a EXI 500 in your future ?! [8D] Me and Kelly are off all week for the 4th of July, so hopefully I can get some crashing in.... I mean... Flying......
