Yeah it was very little rain. First wind then that was gone then rain off and on. Then we sat around well after dark talking. I left Bert and Victor there talking still. That was a great day. I actually did my first inverted hover that day but I was alone and it was in the morning. I crashed when I went to land too because I was so excited. Hit thold to land and promptly slammed it to the ground skids first. That was one of 5 crashes that day lol

good stuff vic...my girlfriends sister is actually a correctional officer and shes been doin it for awhile. she works for orange county.

[eggmcmuffinplz]

Oww, I just got my teeth cleaned(pearly white now:YeaBaby:), and the lady accidentally poked my gum with one of the scrapie hook things and I thought I was going to pee myself:bawl. Hurry up mailman, I want my heli!!!!

[HeliSmith]

You should have bit her. :)

[brovic777]

I'm heading off to the Basin guys before super storm hits and pours 4 inches of rain on us!!!!

Make it down if you can Jason so we can get some new killer 450 video with that new extreme Scorpion motor u got!!!!

I'll be there hopefully till it gets dark or starts raining.

[Lota Fun R]

If the Basin wasn't so far from my house I might go there more often, as it is, Whittier Narrows is the closest place for me.

The Scorpion crash took out the gyro. :mad: faaak! No sense in even messing with it until I get a new gyro for it, anyone got a good spare they want to sell? That sucks too because I was really enjoying the power of the Scorpion motor, maybe I'll take the parts off the Hacker and mothball the Hacker? Can't really afford a new gyro at full pop. :oops:

[johnnycat500]

I guess I should just stick to taking pics for you guys...lol I told you I had A.D.D.

[bugdozer]

Maybe this will be another one of those biggies that filled up the basin with water in the mid 90's. Never thought I would see a boat traveling on Burbank Blvd. :shock:

[emag remrofni]

Well, finally got my 600n working. . . sorta. I got the screw I needed for the carb finally and a few other thing. So I went home plugged it in and everything was working. Then I realized that I forgot to charge the rx battery(doh!) and the motor was hydrolocked(that how you spell it?) so I figured I'd just save it for tomorrow. Oh well:roll:

[brovic777]

Got a some SICK, SICK vidz guys of Jason flying his new proto-type Scorpion motor that is just insane. He was flying sooo fast, I could barily keep the camera up, and at times, lost him as it was just too balistic. He also tested out the Mars 480 and got radical 3D with it. I also got did some basic flips on the Mars 480. Flies really smooth and easy to control.

Stay tune for vids to come!! :)

[HeliSmith]

Sounds like an awesome day.. Post that video! I flew in the warehouse at work once today and once in the parking lot. hmm Not as good but at least I flew.

4 inches of rain huh? Should make for a soft landing.

Great flying Jason! (And great video work as usual Victor:thumbup:)

Did you get any data from the flight? Any improvement over the 2221-6?

Excellent work vic, and nice flying, as always Jason. Maybe you can let everyone know some of the small changes Georges has done?

[brovic777]

Thanks John. I have the Scorpion HK2221-6 and all I can say is that his newer version Jason has is supreme. We didn't get a chance to get any data as we rushed to film as the day was getting dark. I think Jason says the batteries run cooler with this new motor. When we ran my motor on my Mini-Titan, temps on the battery were almost 150 degree's killing the packs, so this newer version should eliminate those extreme temps that can kill the packs.

[Ah Clem]

Jason,

Excellent Flying (as usual)!

Victor,

Excellent Video (again, as usual)!


I miss flying with all of you guys!

[emag remrofni]

Guys, I feel really stupid when I say this but here it goes. . . The reason why I couldn't start my 600 yesterday is because I left the muffler plug on:DOH

[Ah Clem]

"The reason why I couldn't start my 600 yesterday is because I left the muffler plug on."

The old "potatoe in the exhaust pipe" trick.
(either the car won't start, or you end up with a rocket propelled potatoe...).

I would not worry about it. We all (at least I do) things like that sometimes.

Better that than something serious.

Don't tell anybody Sean, but I did that too yesterday!!! :)

I can definitely see the extra weight in that video. Certainly not as nimble as a 450. I think you can bump the headspeed up a little more.

[Trooper Sam]

Left the muffler plug in? Been there, done that. :)
