RE: Gazaur Mars 480
I did one like that with teeth inspired by an alien head canopy. Not sure what gave me the idea to cut the teeth out i was just bored one day.
I also did one in yellow.

I have just finished trimming this out with a 4 blade flybarless head from RCAerodyne. I will post a couple of pics real soon. I was grooming this one for the 4 blade head. It takes some getting used to to hover and fly...LMAO!...2 new pics of the 4 blade in my gallery...Thanks for the interest!

Bower: I just notice, you cut the teeth out. It is a really good painting(spray?) Good idea for cooling..
JJ: Must show us some video on this 4 blades rotor head. It is the first and only flybarless Gazaur..

RE: Gazaur Mars 480
Bower must be better with his hands than I am, his cutting the teeth out is a Great Look! Sta Rc, I was stationed at Nellis for 3 years, I flew out there with a buddy of mine that first got me interested in flying back in '73. He was a good friend. As far as the video goes I have no way of doing that. I must admit that hovering and tooling around a bit is my extent of flying. I bought the head from RCAerodyne for a 450 heli and could'nt keep the tail steady enough to controlwithout using the 4 blade tail from HeliArtist. The Mars is long enough to keep the 4 blade steady. I am however going to order the carbon tail boom as it is 40mm longer than stock boom, even more control for my unsteady hovering!...LMAO! This is a very stable platform for my kind of slow flying.

RE: Gazaur Mars 480
yeeehawww! I'M BACK! oh yeah baby
after a 4 months hiatus from the gazaur's....I'm getting the Poseidon 480 tommorrow night.
I orginally planned to do a cheap build with cheap electronics on a Dragonus 2. Instead of getting cheap electronics I went and got all high-end electronics. The Dragonus had so much vibration that I decided to scrap that project and Get the Poseidon480 back into my fleet.
The details:
Poseidon 480 CF kit: http://www.mars480.com/poseidon480cf...ed-480801.html
CCIce Lite 50a esc
Gazaur 4100kv brushless motor
HS65HB x 3 cyclic servos
MKS DS9670 tail servo http://www.mars480.com/mks9670aservo.html
Align GP750 gyro
ar6100e receiver
That should cover it.
BTW guys www.mars480.com is having a huge sale on the helicopters and electronics. check them out.

I just loaded up my first data from the Lite 50. You can tell I throttle up and down 3 times to track the blades and hovered about 1 minute. She's all trimmed out and blades are tracking.

RE: Gazaur Mars 480
Yeah i dont need anymore but i wasnt sure i could tell the difference. One said somthing like "new floating head" or somthing and i thought maybe they fixed somthing i wasnt aware of.
Still $145. for what i have is still pretty cheap. $5. cheaper then what hobbylobby sold em for.

RE: Gazaur Mars 480
I know someone has thought of this before but I simply replaced the glass landing gear with an old set of gear and I land pretty hard sometime and it has held up very well with the standard gear. I saved my other gear in case I get any better with my landings!...LMAO! p-s...I have one of those FMA co pilot2's coming next week I am going to try on my MARS 480. Maybe it will help with my landins as well. Oh, and I put the extendeed tailboom on too, it really does work like a champ!

I got really low to the ground one time doing FF flights and the stock skids dug into the grass and about pulled it down into the ground. That was a hear thumper ill tell ya. I regular pair of skids wouldnt even of phased em.
IMO this heli isnt really a good one to begin with, parts are to hard to find and are still pretty pricy. I think a T-rex or a clone t-rex is the better way to start, then once your pretty good at keeping it in the air then move to one like this.
