LOL I was -7(DOB 1979)

Nice little stock you got there hope you dont go thru them to fast. Then again someone here once said "If your not crashin your not learning"

Now you tell me

In 5 charges in a SMALL room first time with a CP helicopter I have gone through 1 set of main blades and one center hub. I have talked to many that have gone through a whole lot more then that in less then 10 seconds. LOL [sm=lol.gif] Flying area in my dining room is about 9 x14. [X(]

Kyle....catch up and stay with the class...you got a problem young man? Don't make me set you in a corner during recess

You wouldn't believe me if i told you how many times that happened to me in school[X(][X(]

Well today I officially joined the group of VA disabled vets. I got my %results back from the VA. Is at least alittle extra fixed income that I get from 10 years of service and Combat Tour.

Bless our service people as they are the real back bone of this country. Just wish the darn politicians where as committed as our service people.

Bottom line trying to learn to fly in the dinning room just is not working. [:@]

Not without lots of spare parts

Ding!

Good luck with the SR and the plethora of parts there, 46u!

Just lurking as of late... Too busy with work still... But this came in today:

As well as my SR... But once again, probably won't even be able to spin it up til Sunday.

The shirt made me a little giddy though.

That's awesome Eric!

Kyle,
I was in trouble so much in 7th grade science that my friends and I would right notes to each other on the heater in the hallway... that's were the disruptive kids were sent

Blessings,

Jay

Kyle....I just did a C&P exam today, my first one. The examiner wasn't very happy with the Navy letting me out(retiring me) with nerve damage in my right wrist from an accident. I've got two trips to Detroit VA headquarters comming up as well for other stuff. I gotta feeling they're really NOT gonna be happy when they put a scope in my chest and see the asbestos barbs sitting in the scar tissue of my lungs. NO...I'm not having fun yet. How long did the whole process take? I've been working on it since Mar 09.[]

Can I get that in a pocket tee?

Any one want to buy a SR? Looks like it is going to be at least 6 MPH winds for the next week. Guess I will have to be happy with flying my MSR in the house. What is the max MPH winds do you guys recommend learning to fly in?

Just kidding about selling the SR but does not look like I am not going to get any flying time with the SR for a while unless I want to keep eating up parts and fly in the dinning room. []

Based on the Blade CP....I found it to be in the ZERO wind range for being best, I suppose 1-2mph wouldn't be bad if you got some experience with it. Today I flew my EXI-450 in 10-12mph winds, and it wasnt uncomfortable at all. I have flown it in winds up to 22mph, but that's a handfull for anyone....and defnitely MAX for it. The HoneyBee King v2 was OK in winds up to 5mph, and anything higher...it gets BAD.

Lipo question I know you are not suppose to store Lipo batteries at full charge. My charge has a storage setting but I want to know when you should set them up for storage if you are going to let them sit a day 10 days or how many days?
Thanks

I never discharge to storage but I think I will be starting that next fall for the winter. No need to discharge them if your using them through the spring/summer/fall. It's when they sit longer than a month or more. Mine have always sat fully charged but that just hurts the lipos performance if they sit for months. No worries on fire or such.

Blessings,

Jay

How's that renovation going JPEE?

Yeah they are very UN-helpful some times. My biggest problem is my wounded left hip, and since the VA is contracting out most of their claim exams I get a local "pain specialist" who doesn't read my history, tells me its all in my head, then I get 0% for a combat wound cause the guy says" I have normal strength and motion" which he didn't even check. So I am very angry with that and filed a appeal.

The VA makes social security look like a bunch of amateurs when it comes to denials. I went to an audioligist this week because I filed hearing loss which I did have when I retired. Jet engines, steam turbines, and boiler roaring.....hummmm. I don't know what the results of that is as yet. When I got out of the Navy and hired into a factory, they give hearing tests and I was told then...."you got hearing loss". Yup...tell me something I don't know. I recommend if you're gonna appeal the decision, find the best doctor you can find and get an independent evaluation. That will include CT scans and the whole 9 yards. For my chest, I got the leading expert in the region who happens to teach asbestos medicine at the University Of Michigan. The VA will be hard pressed to disprove him. Don't take a knife to a gunfight....you'll loose every time. History documentation is critical from your mil-med records, especially if you had "lost time" where you couldn't do your job, placed on light duty, whatever.

[>:]

does anybody here KNOW how to bring up a 3S 3200mAh that won't catch on to charging anymore
because the CHARGER claims "low battery" which probably refers to the charge in the 3 cells.
Once before I connected to a "discharge" system and after that it caught on for charging again.
This time it won't do it.[]
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
the BAD FLU came back and I'm OFF four days (AGAIN ! ) I MUST be prone (or sumpin" ? )

I "beautified" my SR .... I think it looks better in RED, but I didn't want to change the boom into black
wouldn't know how to dis - and re-assemble the whole thing. I REALLY LIKE to fly this little helicopter.
In fact, I will DO flips, rolls and loops next time I go out.

been working real hard on the CAMEL and the T-34 MENTOR. Also the WEBBIE CAM project, carrier is
almost done. That will be the next movie. Looking forward to THAT ONE, because I think I should be able
to get a great High VIew of the Big Airport, three miles away......maybe some big 747 t/o or landing.

Rick

Nice lookin SR glad you are enjoying flying it. We are all waiting for the finished projects I know they will look and fly great.

+1 on the pocket tee

I'll take one also just tell me where to send the $$$

"I will DO flips, rolls and loops next time I go out"

Rick...at your age that would look undignafied AND you MAY hurt yourself.
I'm just thinking the flips and rolls and loops will be the tantrum you have when you splatter it all over the ground.......[X(] You KNOW I gotta pick on ya....

Jay, sent you a PM. Well, I mean I am going to send you one in 5 min after this posts... lol
