RE: BLADE 400 questions

I have been disappointed to find that my Blade 400 tends to get pitchy the faster it goes, whereas my Trex 450 with similar equipment and radio settings just seems to hold the track no matter what...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

I tipped over my G2 landing while trying to bring it down quickly after a strange noise was coming out of the heli after flying it inverted for just a few seconds.  Blade, head, and boom and tail...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

Looks like my tail servo went bad as it no longer moves. I think my tail gears got a little dirty and stiff and maybe put up too much resistance. What would be a reasonable replacement? Perhaps...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

I found the zippy batteries at http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6306. The pictures or specs don't indicate what is on the end of the main wires. I found this...

Hey guys, I have an 11.1v Li Poly battery, 1200mAh that came with my G2. The yellow and black wires both came out of the battery pack while I was taking it off the charger. Both wires are still...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

I was flying today with my G2 with the Alpha 400 motor and stock gyro, and I must say that I was having great fun doing circuits, stall turns with pirouettes. sharp banked turns, etc. The stock gyro...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

I'm not looking to do serious 3d just yet, just begin to dabble in it. I don't want to take out a new trex 450 and crash it the first time I try a loop outside of the sim. So hoping I could get a...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

drobin - You said your flying improved a lot after you upgraded. Could you explain that a little. I guess the trex and copterx fly better than the G2, but since you moved the electronics from the...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

Amazing on the HK-450 for $36. With Trex moving to carbon fiber, might worry a bit that this company stays in business or that there are other outlets for plastic parts. Are the Trex 450 "SE V2"...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

I love the sport but I'm still in sticker shock. That is quite a few bucks and still a lot more to buy. Perhaps I can save a little by not going with the Pro model which I believe is top of the...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

I'll say it helps. Thanks for the great information. I took my G2 to the school field again today and it flies great figure 8s and stall turns. I am so tired of flying my Honeybee FP, but it has...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

Thanks bloftin for the recommendation. When you say that the Blade 400 is ok, where does it fall short?

I've had several RTF models (Honeybee FP and Exceed G2) and am a little nervous about...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

What's crazy is that the G2 balances great with the longer battery and the new lighter outrunner motor, but when I slide back in the battery that originally came with the G2, it is tail heavy. So I...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

The upgrade kit (new motor, esc, battery) seems to be working well for "non-3d flying". The G2 seems stable and predictable, and has some pop now with the Alpha 400 motor, but I am having...

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

Under the frame between the skids does seem like the way to go. Would like to see a picture of what you rigged up.

Ordered an 11T pinion from HeliDirect.

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded

RE: The Exceed Raptor G2 Upgraded
