    The Faa Is Killing Our Hobby!!!

    Hello Tony (and RC-Help crew!), Hope all is well! You were close. Section 336 is what you were looking for. :) Hobbyists only pay one $5 fee every 3 years. That registration number is shared on all their models. Only part 107 commercial operators pay $5 per model every three years. ...

    ESC castle Ice, and BeastX

    There's a trick to setting ESC endpoints with a 7200BX in the mix. Remove blades from the heli. You will need the motor connected so remove the blades and make sure the rotor hubs are clear of any loose clothing or drapes or other stuff that can get tangled. The motor should not start...

    For Sale: Trex 450 v2 pro, spektrum dx8 ect like new 500.0.0

    Holy crap... Man, if I were in the market for a 450 I'd be all over this. Could buy it and sell off whatever you don't need and end up with a new 450 for peanuts.

    Spektrum DX7s

    $299 is full retail price for this combo (everyone is selling this same combo for the same price). The inclusion of a second battery is unusual. Is this a brand new unit or is someone selling lightly used? If you need the Rx unit and you want to buy new, then yes, it is good. If you're...

    450 Finally almost a year later

    Nice. Glad things with your dad turned out good. Xokia uses the KST servos and likes them quite a bit.

    Spektrum DX7s

    That seems like a high price for a DX7s at this point. Even when they were new I think they could be had for a bit less than that. I'd shop around for a better deal.

    Thought it would never happen to me:

    It was a ICE2 HV 120. No internal BEC. This was ESC only. Also the big problems were with the ICE (as in 1) line. ICE2 was supposed to have fixed the fireball issues. And I think they largely did. Reports were far less frequent with the ICE2 line. Back to a normal failure rate seen on...

    For Sale: Blade mCPX-BL and extras

    For sale is a Blade mCPX-BL. This is a great little heli for indoor/gymnasium flying. While I have flown this inside my theater room, I only did it a few times. Personally I think it is too powerful for a typical inside-the-house environment. The blades spin very fast and and have a lot of...

    For Sale: Blade nCPX and extras

    For sale is a Blade Nano-CPX. This little guy has been through hell and back. The main board was replaced by Horizon Hobby so that is more or less brand new (maybe 5 flights on it since I swapped it out). It looks rough, admittedly. But it flies and included in the sale is a new tail boom and...

    Sold: Blade 120SR and extras

    SOLD is a Blade 120SR. This was my first helicopter. It is a great first step into the hobby. Stable but with enough control and manueverability to learn proper hovering inputs in all upright orientations. Small enough to fly indoors in a large family/rec room, garage or gymnasium. Includes...

    Batteries Battery shipping

    Definitely put them at storage charge. Leaving them charged over time will degrade them.

    Removed: Trex 600 DFC NITRO

    Never has a nitro heli been so tempting! Oh man... Still gonna have to pass, but this is a crazy good deal. Want the Goblin 700 back? straight up swap? :)

    Rc-Help Needs A New Transmitter

    Yeah, Graupner is old school, but they're making a push for a comeback as of late. High quality stuff as I recall. Have no idea if their current programming/menuing and reliability stacks up against the bigger brands today. If you're looking to go on a budget may want consider Frsky with a...

    600 Is Align still making 600mm nitro helis?

    Having bought from Anthony before, the shipping is not bad at all. And that was for a very large box that included a lot of extras besides just the heli.

    ESC CC sound

    The sound is actually coming from the motor. If you are touching it or something else is it can muffle it. Also if settled into a spot that is out of phase with the coils the esc uses for generating the tones the sound can be lower volume than normal.

    No new members for a while

    Also the time of year. Bumper season between northern hemisphere flying less often those that are flying having probably been into it for a season so not many newbies from there. And southern hemisphere is just coming out of the winter and starting to get back into things. More will come.

    General iKON Gyro setting on Tx

    In the ikon setup app go to screen 4 (transmitter setup). The "gain" slider is your tail gyro channel. MAke sure your Tx is setup such that when you flip your gyro switch it changes the value shown and the slider position. I'd setup your gyro switch settings to have a gain of -100 0 and 100...

    600 Blade 550x question

    Looks like they designed that 600 kit for the Chaos 600 heli frame. It includes a flexi-torque-tube so you won't have issues there, but the mounting to the front and rear tail blocks may not be the same as in the kit it was designed for, so you may have some modifications to get it all to fit...
