500 PROTOS is alive..

[Island Breeze]

Finally! parts came in and she is all done and ready to fly. I know Beast X..Its all I got laying around.

 

[Slobberdog]

Dude looks good, one day I am gonna get enough spare wedge to get a big bird set up, but for now more fun with my 130x and 450 DFC

 

[Island Breeze]

Them little birds are cool...but once you get your hands on the big birds the adrenaline is something else

 

[danhampson]

I know what you mean anthony, after getting my protos ive not been bothered with my other birds the rush from flying a bigger bird is awesome. Im already looking at getting something bigger (next year) either a 600 or 700.

 

[Slobberdog]

Dan have you fixed your other two birds yet, and been looking for a bargain 550 but they are not happening

Cool! what you got in mind for your next bird?

 

[danhampson]

ive fixed the 130x but not the 450 yet, im going over to fast lad next week to pick up some cyclic servos.

Im thinking of a goblin or the new avant monstro i like both of those but will have to see what happens with the monstro with it not being released yet.

Nothing wrong with the 7200BX. Great FBL. And a good match to smaller helis since it has the built in Rx. No need for a sat.

Nice looking heli. Get some vids of the maiden!

 

[murankar]

The avant is a nice heli, but its a speed heli. Not so much a 3d machine unless that's what the monstro is.

 

[Island Breeze]

That is right! there's nothing wrong with the Beast X, its just that I am pushing my learning curve out at the field and I do need some insurance... just incase. so being that the IKON has SL and at a great price I will use it. Beast X will stay in my drawer until I am comfortable.

 

[pvolcko]

Make sure to test the SL under controlled conditions and from high high up!

I am not worried about the SL..I know it works, believe me it saved my Gob three times already all three at the height of 6 feet too. Whew! thank god my right index finger still has some reflex.lol

 

[Island Breeze]

just got her back up and for its first flight..she feels locked in. Need to bump the HS a tad bit and she is ready for some TIC-TOCS.

 

[Graham Lawrie]

Very nice I have flown same setup on a Proto recently and I loved it BX is so stable

 

[Tony]

bit of a rough landing, but the heli looked great in the air.

yeah! had my Gimbal to tight. thought I try it but I don't like it.

 

[Tony]

Your gimbal? On your Tx?

 

[Island Breeze]

Your gimbal? On your Tx?

Ya! I gave it a shot to stiff it out but I tighten it just a tad too much. it feels great in the air but not for those two feet TH landings.

 

[Tony]

Ah, I see. I keep mine very light. Like just tight enough so the stick doesn't fall under it's own weight. My rudder is pretty tight though. To each his own on this though. Have to do it how it feels right.
