Same ole same ole..no time, plenty wind, no proper runway to to launch a plank(rocks). Water world Vacationing still happening here. Watching Eddie and Ivan tear up the place, and Max coming with a vid. Oh hurricane season here.

Phil,
Ihear you about the no time. Seems when time comes, weather isn't good. Thankfully, nobody vacations here... they go up to the northern part of Michigan to do their waterworld stuff! Hurricanes suck!

Excellent, Max! When you get the tail figured (maybe dying tail motor?) I'd like to see a vid on your heli flying as well!
Phil - hand launch & then pull a "Jeff" & pluck it out of the air to "land"!
Ivan - I'm still excited for you -WAY TO GO!!!! I watched the vid twice more!

Scott, wicked picture!!! Amazing that it stopped the movement of the wings. Too crazy.
I thought your earlier comment was that you were "tapping out" as in "done". I was confused. Actually... still am. LOL.
Eddie... the BBQ looks awesome. I need me some of that!!

Chuck; I'll see if I can post a vid of the heli
. I don't think the tail is dying, since whenever I squeeze the wires, the tail kicks back in again. I guess my soldering job wasn't good enough? Idunno 
Got the props for my Corsair! YES! Looks like it might rain again today though, so hoping I won't be still stuck indoors

Hey Scott, I know that you are a musician also. Is this how you got started,lol. Just kidding, but everybody starts somewhere.
You gotta watch the whole thing as it gets even better toward the end.

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
I tested the 600 flybar and paddles on my Gaui 550 somewhat today. Looks good so far. I love the way the 92mm tail blades show up against trees. I had ot lower gain which is odd, but cool! Never had that happen with plastic tail blades. Cyclic... Looks good. I was able to get the helicopter to stay put and vertical at 0 pitch for a second. Before the helicopter dropped like a rock. So, next trip to the field, I'll get up high and try to flip it again.

Ivan-
Love the colors on the Gaui! Stable bird!
Chuck-
Ya don't need a stabilizer! Where's the fun in that! More stick time! (Sim & real!)
Scott-
I don't break in my batteries. No problems so far.
Wow, LOL. I guess you need to add some insect repellent to that smoker!
Wicked video!
Max-
blah, blah, blah, where's the vid!
