You sure you want to cut off the power intentionally? Although some of the ESC will do that by default setting but I don't want that if one day I forget to time the flight, my heli suddenly lose power and fall down .........


Aiya, headache headache, the blade tip hit the ground for a short moment at very low headspeed only, but it cause my blade tracking out again ..... .... have to check the shafts for my BCP again ...... will it happen for Trex ar?

Congratulation to you, mr. slapshock ...... hehheheh I am glad that you din crash your heli but manage to maiden .... really a good news

Hehehehe, I was shock when I saw him hovering so well and I am impressed. Guess that I will lag behind far far away .....

Nowadays I am back to SIM again and at the same time, fine tuning the heli to fly better.

Slapshock, you definitely can use household items to do your blade balancing. I am one of them that doing this way. I will use a needle (longer one prefer), sellotape, 2 identical cups.

Basically I just stick the blades head-to-head together using sellotape but make sure the hole is aligned. Then punch your needle through the hole (as close as possible to the top edge of the hole), then hang both sides of the needle to the edge of the cups, do your balancing from there .......

Hehehehe, that time really totally new into the hobby mah so dare not invest so much for the first time.

Now I think it's a good time for me to start with trex, since I have knew most of the basic stuff of a heli. But need to deplete my spare parts first or else I will just leave my BCP aside ..... huahahahahhahaah

but I am doubt that should I still go for 450 size or 500 size ........ since I have a cheapo 450 already ...... what do you think?

Was that the 325 wooden rotor blade from Align? I was using it on my BCP also ...... tell me how do you find about that blade later.

Hehehehehe, I think I wont go for clone, I will go for trex and this is what I have planned actually. I want my BCP to be my laboratory rat then only I switch to something much much better without crashing it a lot ......

Suggestion, get a timer with beeping as well ...... then you will just listen to the beeps to check the time out.

Tail wagging usually cause by too much gain ....
The one you've shown should not cause wagging, I THINK!
It may cause more vibration to your tail, to check that normally I will touch the tail boom by spinning the heli, with tail blade attach and then remove.
But I have done this on my 4G6 only, for 450 size please do with extra precaution if you want ...... I bare no responsibility

Emmmmm, maybe you can try to grease your tail parts, I mean the belt gear bearing if it is a belt driven heli, shaft etc ........

Last week I found that my tail work nicer after I doing so ....... perhaps the friction without oil slow down spinning .....

yalah, nobody ask you to grease kow kow ....... another thing of grease kow kow is that it will spit a lot of oil in the heli when it is spinning.

tempted tempted, price nego?

How old is this 450Pro? How many times crashing?

OK, thanks for telling. But I think I am not going to get it unless can nego a lot

Because now 450Pro is around 1.3k+ with a gyro better than the standard one.

Hehehe, my lousy hovering nothing special ....... usually I am flying alone so a bit hard to take video unless I fix it somewhere ......

Once I took the video will let you guys see and comment ... wahahahhaha
Can hover but definitely not in a limited space like mr.slapshock

I need a lot of things
3S batteries, charger, 2801 receiver etc .... and eventually a better heli .... going to pk very soon ....
I have a olympxx camera but the quality too lousy, without using much now it refused to work. So usually I will just take video using my hp.

Added on June 1, 2010, 5:08 pmYaloh, want to ask if you are not using 4-in-1, where do you put your gyro?

This post has been edited by daddoo: Jun 1 2010, 05:08 PM

GP750, right? Hehehehe, the heli also branded
Recently they start to sell 450 with GP780 ..... sigh .... making decision to go for it or not ....

Hehehehe, got my charger and so exciting about completing the charging in an hour for a 3S 2200maH Lipo.

Esky stock charger gonna collect dust soon ... wahahhahahaha

Nope, wanted to buy from him but last week I tried to call him but then hp not on. So I ordered from LHS.

Added on June 2, 2010, 9:31 pmMaybe I will still use it to charge my ESKY stock battery while I am charging another 1.
Ya, last time you have an adapter to charge a few 4G3 lipos, right? Were you setting 3.7v? and how much current?

This post has been edited by daddoo: Jun 2 2010, 09:31 PM

The same company as Imax, G.E.

Hahahaha, I can explain to you ........

There are 2 type of connections, series and parallel.
If a cell with 3.7v and 600maH, connect both in series will give you 7.4v@600maH, this is your 2S battery actually.

Connect both in parallel will give you 3.7v@1200maH.


Anyway, thanks for your information, Qiw.
