Hi Fellers,

Finally had a good day here in Indy.. I got the Trex 600 out, and did get an early flight in. What a rush that was, nothing special, hovering, FF, FFF. Only got on flight in for the day. I only have one battery and the wind kicked up. Later, I went to the mail box and my Torque Tube gear sets arrive. Yippppeee

Also, I ordered the Trex autorotation tail gear drive, the original was a tiny warped. It took about 1/2 hour or so to change all that out.

I wasn't real happy with the carbon fiber rod and bead, that I added to the vertical stabilizer to give me a little more ground clearance. Soooo, I looked around in boxes of junk I've collected over the years and found some plastic skids. I cut off one of the poles from the skids, and attached to the stabilizer with a few globs of epoxy. I let that set for about 10 minutes. Then I took some black sewing thread. About 6 feet long, folded it into 1/4's, so it was 4 threads thick. I wrapped that around the skids and stabilizer and every so often, put a dab of CA on the threads. Now it's as strong as Jay. (Jay got in a fight with a car one day, and WON)

Couple pictures,
