Yeah, I was hoping to shoot a couple more videos today and do some flying, but it's raining it's butt off here. No worry though, gave me some time to catch up on some video rendering. Trying to render teh last one now. Then, it's out to the studio to shoot some more videos! This has really become more of a job than a hobby lol. But I still enjoy doing it!
So hurry up and get that nitro beast running. I think I need to work on mine as well. My Nitro that is...

Good lookin bird right there!
Are those Nitro's harder to mess with using the mechanical engine aspect of it? Tuning, and such is that tricky with em?

Yes and no. As with everything, there is a learning curve. Once you figure out what the needles do, and where the sweet spot is for your engine, it's pretty simple. As the humidity changes, you will just know "oh, I need to go 3 clicks lean" or "Oh, this only needs one click rich to run perfect". You can use a temp gun, but using telemetry is so much easier.

Yes thats a bummer about the headaches Tony. I just love the nitro birds and like you say once they are tuned up you hardly have to touch them. Its probably more crucial for the 3d pilots as they want the most power they can get but i am happy just to keep them in the air lol. Also just for a few flight packs i can go down to the club and fly all day and if i need to charge up i can do it from the truck with no need for generators, power supplies etc. Also i get about 12 minutes of flight time once they are all tuned up which is great. Where there is smoke i know im still running ha ha.

Yeah, I love the nitro birds and I'm trying to overcome my issues with the headaches. Mind over matter kind of thing. I think I'm going to shoot some videos with teh ikon today on the 450, and once that is done, the ikon is going back on the 600 and I have got to put it in the air. It's just been way too long since it's seen air. Just need to order a new sensor for the governor and hope it works. Might end up putting the AR7200BX on the 600 until I can get the sensor. Oh the fun of nitro lol.
