I'm Devon, located in Mesa,AZ, originally from Manchester,Nh. Just recently got into the RC Helicopter hobby but Have had a 1/12 Traxxas Rally brushless with lots of upgrade parts for 2 years now, and have always had some kind of RC car for a long time now.
Since, '92, age 7, have been a member/mentor on various FIRST Robotics teams. Because of that, have become a very good machinist, robotic programmer, and tech for mostly anything dealing with robotics.
Months ago, prob Xmas time, I got a 4 channel Syma coaxial and then 2 months ago upped to a Double Horse 9053. First day having the 9053, I nose dived it from a good 50 feet up right into a parking lot. Needless to say, there actually was not much damage other then bent main shaft and shattered body. Now, I feel I have mastered the coaxial flight and have fun still messing with that 9053.
3 weeks ago bought my first CP heli, not the best choice for a first, a Dynam E-Razor 450 FB. The E-Razor has been a struggle from the beginning. The thing was shipped to me with a very sloppy tail section, bent feather shaft, bent main shaft, and it looked as tho the main gear and it's one way bearing was put together with pliers. So, it too was in need of replacing. I called the company I got it from, which I had spare parts on the way as recommended on another forum. They asked for the part numbers of what was messed up and just got everything all lined up as of last night. Have also changed the TX/RX out for a FlySky FS-T6 and still need to figure some things put on settings but have it workin alright so far. Will be looking for some setting/setup help with that.
I happened to come across this forum last week and the how too video section has helped explain things soooooo much better then anywhere I have found so far. Hope to make sure everything is fine tuned tonight before starting the flight school videos.
