Happy birthday Corsair Pilot!

So, as some of you saw I finally finished covering the OLYIIS that I've taken so long to get done. Overall a good day. Well, it's good night for us folks on the east coast....can sleep happily knowing that my O's won tonight. Congrats to Chris Davis on tying Brady Anderson's single season franchise homerun record with his 50th.

Thanks lads!
Well good news is, i've now stopped long enough to work out that my Tx is fine, so the vixen will be set up on it very shortly!
Can't wait to get this beast up in the air!!

Remember, there is a coating on the outside of the wire that you must carefully scrape off. After that, it's a cinch to solder it up.

It's the tail motor itself, not the wires on the boom :)

If I had $300, I would have a new plane on the way. Being broke sucks...

If I had $300, a Chaos 450 Black Widow DFC Pro Kit would be on the way, along with a Robird G31 gyro and some better servos. Maybe if there's any money left, a 6s conversion too :D

Well I've had a successful day, replaced all the shocks on my apache and re did the sway bars... and worked out the issues with the Vixen... Now i'm set again no matter what the weather!
Happy days :)
If I had $300 I would have my helicopter up and flying as well with a nice scale kit on it
Or be a whole lot further along on the corsair build

Helpful Hint...

Never tighten a spinner nut with an allen wrench. Mine just broke and slashed my thumb wide open. Cut over an inch long and down to the bone. This is really going to hinder my flight performance... Guess there is no flying for me this weekend.

What really sucks is I was getting my big Edge ready for a "real" flight. :damnit:

I should change my middle name to "Adversity".

You would think I would be used to this crap by now...
