Went to go fly it this weekend..

Went to the field, some veterans helped me out. There were a few things that needed to be adjusted, so we did that.. Ended up snapping a link attached to the swashplate that controls the elevator..

Not a big deal, it just sucked that I couldn't fly it.

Oh well, got all the bugs worked out so far with all the linkages and servo throws. Gotta fix that and it will fly this weekend./

Stay tuned for some action shots..



And the new paintjob... I don't think I'll have visability problems with this!

nice work on the paintjob...
the broken ballinks are a know problem...
hope to get you in the air soon...

You will love the Heli really good flying bird.

Nice lookin Heli! By the way ... Where did you get that snappy lookin training gear??

heh, I got it from my buddy in West Virginia! Know him by any chance?! haha..

THANKS!

Yeah .. He's a nice guy. Good luck on the next trip out. Let us see that Rappy in the air.

You're welcome!

I got the parts I need on order, with 2 day shipping! Can't wait longer than that.

Action shots this weekend, I promise. Wether it be hovering, or a blaze of glory...

Lets hope for the former.

Turboracer is that the Raptor 30, and how was the assembly on it, what engine did you use. Was it fun to build? Daz...

y0, yeah, that's the Raptor 30. The assembly was pretty good, tricky at some times because the manual lacked a lot of words.. But in all, not bad. Learned a lot of things putting it together. I got the OS32 in it. I've broken it in on a bench with a prop, and it runs really well. Broke it in in like a tank & a half. It;s very responsive to throttle control.

I should fly it the first time this weekend, I'll post back how I do.

Thanks Turboracer, I am curious to see how you like it, is this your 1st chopper? Daz...

Yes it is.

What can you guys tell me about the Nexus 30 for a first heli?
Hopefully gonna get it in the air this weekend too, weather permitting.
