    ESC Castle Creations ESC won't arm; motor makes clicking/knocking sound

    Hi, guys. The suspect this time is a Castle Creations Phoenix HV 120A ESC (installed on my 700). I can program it normally using the Castle Link Software, but the ESC now won't arm and instead of beeping the motor makes soft knocking sound ( as if you are tapping on a wooden surface with your...

    12S trex 550

    Very nice video! You are progressing fast. Do you still run the Bavarian Demon on this heli? What changes did you make in converting it to 12s? I am thinking about putting a 120A ESC and a 700 motor on my next Trex 600 DFC. Wonder if that negatively affect the CG of heli.

    Batteries 12s battery set-up question: C rating and capacity

    Thanks, guys. That explains why I only get 4-5 minutes of flight time out of it.

    Batteries 12s battery set-up question: C rating and capacity

    Hi, guys. It's been a while since my last question. By connecting two 6s battery packs (lipo, rated at 30C , 5000 mAh each) in series (Trex 700 size heli) , am I getting a combined C rating of 60 C and capacity of 10000 mAh? I am sure this is the case for a parallel configuration but not...

    My first FULL Piro Flips on camera

    Thank you all for the encouragement. I find that there are multiple ways of doing piro flips. Regardless of what style you choose, when you do it fast enough, nobody is going be able to see the difference. I took me roughly 10 months of practice, 8 of which in the SIM, to learn full piro...

    My first FULL Piro Flips on camera

    Hi, guys. It's been a while since I last posted an video. This is my stock Align 600 EFL, the sole survivor of my big heli fleet. Sorry for straining your eyes, I had to keep the heli at a safe distance. Anything could happen while doing these stunts. I wanna live and fly, not trying to be...

    Tony Assistance Fund

    Looks like our brother here is in a very bad situation and has not yet seen a clear path forward. Most of us are scattered around the world, too faraway to offer him any assistance. I think the most practical way to assist him, other than providing kind words of encouragement, is to start a...

    General Question on spark suppressor on 12 S motor setup ( 600 size)

    Pvolcko, that exactly how I popped the poor the little resistor. Luckily the heli flew well without any problem after that. Thanks for taking time out to provide such a thorough explanation. I didn't have to reread the answer to understand it. I've installed the new resistor and tested the...

    General Question on spark suppressor on 12 S motor setup ( 600 size)

    A while back, Westy posted a thread showing how to building a spark suppressor for big helis by shunting the main battery connection with a 10 Ohm 10 Watt power resistor. Following these instructions, I installed spark suppressors on all of my big birds. And it has been working like a charm...

    Nice video. But why is there almost always a person standing next to the pilot in videos like this one?

    General Motor screeches when hot ( Align BL600MX, Trex 600 EFL)

    Thanks, guys. After removing the motor from the frame, I grabbed the pinion with one hand and the motor can with the other and tried to twist the motor shaft. I (barely) felt a tiny bit of play. Don't know if this is normal. The pinion is now off the shaft. I will make sure it will be fully...

    Tony's Sit-Rep

    Re: Tony's Situation Update What a bad situation you are in, man! I knew something was wrong. Even though I don't log in and post often, I get on the forum to read the threads everyday. I had never seen you go without posting not even for a day. In this case, having weapons to defend yourself...

    General Motor screeches when hot ( Align BL600MX, Trex 600 EFL)

    Thought I would get more opinions on this. But thank you, Jesse. I will remove the motor from the frame and try to oil the bearings. Is the oil ( I am going to use transmission fluid) going to wreak havoc to the motor if it gets on the windings?

    General Motor screeches when hot ( Align BL600MX, Trex 600 EFL)

    Gentlemen, I've been consistently noticing a screeching sound after just one flight when motor's temperature measured roughly 140 F. The noise goes away during low altitude auto-rotations. The helicopter has seen less than 20 flights. I squirted a few drops of transmission fluid onto the motor...

    Headed for Muncie, Indiana tomorrow morning IRCHA

    Very nice flying, Ken. I need to fly like that sometimes just to relax. Just that my eyesight is not as good as yours. Might see you at IRCHA next year.
