my pro isnt lonely anymore

[txflyer]

link doesnt work, thats kool man jsut for me tho safety dude i dont really any plastic on my rex...

[txflyer]

well looks like im sending the trex back tot he guy who shipped it to me

[Mortificate]

whaaaaaaa? that's weak-sauce! I thought you got to keep the heli. After all that work you put in that bad boy. Dude! That sucks!

[eddo22]

yeah man, what happened? uh, and what are you gonna do w/that tail? hehe...

[txflyer]

i would preffer to keep this to pm's so if you gys wanna know hit me up..

[eddo22]

you any closer to gettin the rex up man? i got my first flip on mine the other day...it was awesome!

[txflyer]

well i had sent the balls for my ball links to mortificate for him to grind the stand off down for me. i got them in alittle while ago. and now using my eyeball the swash is level, and everything works good. at full + pitch there is just hair of space left between the wash out block and head block. it doesnt touch it even on full cyclic throws... the swash tho at full - pitch is really close tot he frame when you move the cyclic but it doesnt tocuh. all i need now is a gyro and to get some one to test flight and trim the bird out.. my 3s 1500 20c pack will only give me like 2 minutes of hovering.. but i guess thats all i would need for awhile.. i still havent heard from home boy if he got the charger and tp packs back from his ex.. if he did he said he would ship out today.. but i havent heard from him at all since saturday...

eddo can you snap a pick of your swash at full -pitch. so i can see a reference of where it sits. also maybe 1 or 2 pics of full -pitch with full forward cyclic in and full rear cyclic. so i can judge how dead on i am by how close your swash gets the frame

[eddo22]

jeeeezus, you are still hassling w/that guy??? that sux man, sorry. yeah, i'll definitely shoot some pics tonight. i should have em up by around 9 my time since i dont get home til around 7 from work.

[txflyer]

thanks dude, its not much of a hassle.i did get the cnc mh head for my pro but its on ebay already.. its just the charger and lipos..good thing the listing on ebay doesnt end till friday.. cuz i'll have i hope around 100 for it. so if its a no go with the guy i can buy a charger... but i dunno..im trying to talk a friend into giving me his broken ipod, since i can get parts to fix it. if he does imgoing to go fix it and sell it for around 260ish.. since its a 80gig. then 401 here i come..

[txflyer]

you guys ever had dreams of getting a part or upgrade youve wanted for awhile.. i had one last night that was so real wheni woke up the first thing i checked was my heli area and no it wasnt there.. kind of a bummer for the whole day.. here was the part...

and after a metal head this is the next upgrade..

[eddo22]

that frame looks sick! hey i went out to dinner with the in-laws and then my buddy's computer broke and he needs me to fix it by tonight so i'm not gonna have time to snap those pics til tomorrow. sorry man!

[txflyer]

tis all good. ive been tweaking thelinks for awhile now. i am able to move up to the wash out block to mixing arm links
ive got the swash set so that at full - pitch when i move the cyclic to full throws. the bearing on the underside of the swash is close to touching the main shaft collar the same amount all around but it doesnt touch it..

[txflyer]

wow i was so off on my setup but i think now i have worked out... i just need to see some pics to compare it to....

[eddo22]

aite here are the pics of my swash at full -pitch. i should say that i still need to confirm my settings and further dial in the dx7...but it has been working well for me so far. got my first front and back flips, and left and right rolls (all stationary) yesterday!

[txflyer]

damn it im still off not by much but damn it. neways pics are uploading there very shitty but you get the idea..

[txflyer]

ok wow ya those pics i posted here and now delted suck ass.. neways im going to redo the damn head. based off your pics of full - pitch
so something close to that

[eddo22]

looks pretty close man!

[txflyer]

it was but the bottem of the swas was covering the top 3rd of the main shaft collar
i cant seem to get it any better.
well i did get the swash raised slightly at full - pitch.. now i gotta make a few tweaks to the wash out block arms, then continue working my way up the head..

WEll hopefull if I ever get soldering iorn going I will be flying my CPP. After I get Racer 38 to help me get my set up back and get it tuned out. It is nice having a Guru in the area. It is amazing That there is people in IRAQ, soldiers that fly, It just shows how wide spread this hobby is, and how great the people involed in it are. Even though Racer 38 goes outside the wire, he will still find time to help us out if we have any questions. He is a real asset to the heli community.

[eddo22]

whoa, i didn't realized you were in iraq man. be careful out there...and thank you for your service to our country! oh, and good luck w/the cpp! mine has been downed cuz i've been too lazy to trouble shoot a tail motor problem. i just been having fun w/the t-rex lately...wee!

[txflyer]

so i did my first flip and rolls today, also held it inverted nose 20ft off the deck.. i was flying a vibe .90 those things are crazy big.. but seriously no effort what so ever for nose in hover.. god the fly so smooth and you know what its going to do before it does it... im tempted to sell the rex and spend the next 6 years buying part and fuel to get a vibe in the air.. well not really but i want one in the next few years

Eddo22 I am a civy over here I have been here 3 years I am prefectly safe,(well except for mortars, and an occasional trip in a shithook) , thanks to guys like Racer38, who are doing a great job and working their butts off. Tonight I am headed over to Racer38s hooch so that I can soldier my tail motor back on I am going to send the picts of all the work on my CPP new frame and all. I have not done as much as some of the other guys on their CPP's but the neat thing about it is that I am doing it in the middle of the desert with no LHS. and very few tools. but I will get it in the air. Between 12 hour shifts and working 7 days a week and 120 degree temps, it is hard to get the energy to do anything after hours.

[eddo22]

uh, how the heck did you get your hands on a vibe 90?

It's gotta suck not having an lhs closeby. I gotta admire your effort...if it were that much of a hassle i probably would have lost interest a long time ago. do a lot of guys out there fly rc helis? oh yeah, pics of everbody's helis would be awesome...hehe.

[txflyer]

so new upgrades to my non flying trex..

micro heli tail and boom fins..
