I was able to get out and fly just before it started to sprinkle. I lowered the expo on my Tx from 25% to 20% and it seemed to be a little better for me. The controls didn't act mushy and all. I'll fly it with these settings a few more times and get a good feel for it then maybe lower it to 15%...

I was able to get out and fly again. I forced myself to fly for the full 4 minutes as the manual recommends to be the max flight time per charge. It was fun.

Flew again today. Didn't get as nervous as the last session but have realized that I am in need of a larger field. I do not feel comfortable enough to try back and forth flying in the small field as I am sure it will end up in tragedy. I'm getting a little more used to the effects of wind on the...

I got a comment on one of my videos regarding the 270 tail shake. Here it is You may already know this but its not a good idea to run the 270 up on the ground as it may shake up the Gyro, It looks like the Gyro is trying to compensate for the high vibrations caused by being stationary. This can...

@Tony FYI. I think you will enjoy this one. It's very informative and the instructor has a great speaking voice.

Just wanted to say I had another day with a successful flight. A fully charged battery and no wind, what more could you ask for? ...ok a handful of batteries and no wind... I have no idea what happened with this heli but the tail twitching is gone. I was able to lift off without fiddling with...

Not really a suggestion but when I get an email about a new conversation or reply to an existing, The link goes to the rc-help site and I get an error. I don't remember what the exact error is but the email doesn't go directly to the conversation. I have to use the inbox link to view it.

Today's flight went great. I flew it in about 5mph winds with some calm spots. I only charged it to about 50% as I wanted to get a quick flight in before dark. I flew for about 3 1/2 minutes and called it a day. My nerves can't handle much more than that or my hands get very shaky. I don't know...

I found this on Banggood. It has better specs than mine. I just wonder if it's any good. 250W/10A Charger

Something that came to mind while posting on a battery charger got me to thinking that I have been wrong about how LiPo batteries charge. I have been thinking that they charge through the main wires and the balance connector is for monitoring the cells' charge level. Is that right or do they...

I saw this on youtube and thought it was pretty cool. A modular charger/power supply. Charsoon 100w 10A battery charger This thing can charge LiPo packs up to 6S. It's on a promotional sale right now for $26.99 and is shipped from a US warehouse. Here is the youtube video:

When I upload a video to youtube, I have to approve comments. I have set the upload defaults on comments and ratings to allow comments 'all' and users can view ratings for this video. However, I still am having to approve comments. To me, this is annoying. What could I be doing wrong?

If when on your travels, you should want to bring your laptop and Rf controller, be sure you have your RF data on the PC and not on an external drive. I have my documents folder stored on an external drive and did not bring it with me. I am not able to play my simulator due to this. Imagine my...

Got a chance to go out and fly for a few minutes. And today I flew my 270 CFX. I flew it for about 2 minutes. The wind was about 3 to 5 mph. I started out wondering if I should try it or not with the tail shaking and all. I gave it a few small 'hops' and it was acting weird wanting to go to the...

I have some 1/2" insulation board which has an R value of 3. If I use 3 layers of this material it should have an R value of 9 right? I have tried to find information on this and what I have found really doesn't tell me for sure. I may have to go with some roll insulation but want to use this...

I have not for the life of me figured out what people are thinking when they drive in the dark with only side markers on. Sometimes no lights at all. Are they trying to save money on bulbs in the future? Do they not want to purchase a new set of head lights every 3 to 4 years? Sure let's stretch...

I recently found some servos that I forgot I had. They are old Futaba FP-S48 servos with a 3 pin male connector. I have 4 of these, two with the label that says made in Japan and the others which are labeled 'Indirect Drive'. I am wondering if I can get some connectors and use these with newer...

What is a good one? I tried to download camstudio but it is infected with a virus and malware.

When I try to fly stock helis, they want to drift badly. I can fly helis that I have downloaded and they do great. I would post a flight video but you must have version 7.5 from what I understand. I'll try to get a screen recording sometime when I find a decent recorder. I have calibrated the...

Took my truck to the transmission specialist the other day. My reason is, after replacing the water pump and fan clutch a while back, the truck all of a sudden has no pulling power. It sounded so much different. I didn't drive it for about a week afterwards thinking that there was imminent doom...
