[bullseye1]

[Lota Fun R]

Sunday? Maybe I'll just spend the day putting my Turbo back together.

[HeliSmith]

Man SCVHC might should come to OC tomorrow flipping wind grrrr. Didn't organize it enough in advance.

Mitch glad to hear your 450 helis are back running. Get that CopterX200 going man I can't wait to see that thing fly! What's a turbo?

[BikeNBoatN]

Where are people going to be flying Saturday? AP or Irvine or ?? I might be able to get out Saturday, but that's it for this weekend. I've finally got my old pod 'n boom MX400/TRex450 franken-heli :roll: going again to keep my USCG scale'r company. And I got some new red bling for my USCG to match the red on the rest of the body. :YeaBaby:
Definitely can't do it Sunday as I'll be in a long aluminum tube hurtling to Pittsburgh on business all week. :(

[Lota Fun R]

What's a turbo?


Suzuki Hayabusa with aftermarket Turbo installed. A friend of mine holds the world speed record at Bonneville on one.

Mine is only geared for 228mph since mine is not a race bike, yet.

[HeliSmith]

That's awesome Mitch 228mph geezus...

SCVHC had a great day with no crashes! We hope the same for you OC guys. Was windy as heck though as in typical SCV fashion.

[Lota Fun R]

Had a great day, a few little problems that I got fixed.

The 90 seems to be working good, took some adjusting to get it to run right. Still getting air in the system, it's coming from the return valve on the motor but seems to go away after running it a bit. Engine temps never got over 160 so that's good.

Flew it inverted about 3ft off the ground a few times, more of a hover than flight.

Haven't finished the Scorpion V2 yet. The V1 worked great, power is perfect amount. :banana

[Finless]

I am back from my Biz trip and cant wait to fly today.

Going to AP about 10:00 this AM. Anyone else?

[Lota Fun R]

[Duke600]

I hope there is no baseball practice like there was yesterday @ AP. I'll be there this afternoon.

[Finless]

Don or I will be checking AP this AM about 10-10:30 and if it has baseball we will be at Irvine. I have never seen little league play on Sunday's myself....

I had a great time in Irvine with OC guys. Loved the smoke trails in the sky made by Jim. I got a problem with my engine. It leaned out in middle of the flight and burned the glow plugs. It happened 2 times and in both I saved my heli successfully by autoing. I broke a set of landing gears though.

Here are some pictures...

We have a great Synergy N9 club out here...I love my Synergy so much!

[Airboss]

Wow, WTF. cant beleive these daytime temps. we hit 82*f at the feild today, i am sunburnt and it feels good. nice flying, Long has that N9 mastered, and mad Mike was tearing the rotors of as usual, hey Mitch can you teach vic how to do that? Logo flyers trex 500s and 600s we even got to see an AVRO-BLITZ 90.
OC Synergy flyers.

[HeliSmith]

Nice pictures Long. Sorry to hear you are having engine problems. Glad to hear no crashes!

[Lota Fun R]

Great day at Irvine field. :thumbup:

I was flying the Scorpion awesome and really comfortable right up until the point when I dumb thumbed into the ground, screwed up an MG65, that's hard to do, maybe it's fixable? but it is broken. Ruined another main rotor housing, I just got my new replacement the other day and now have to order another one. Upside is that I've got everything for the V2Scorpion but just need to put it together. My nose in flying is getting better and that makes a lot of difference, thanks for the advice Airboss. :YeaBaby:

Good to see you Long, try that McCoy9 glow plug I gave you, see if that is hot enough to not burn out. It's one step higher than what you've been using.

[HeliSmith]

Mitch,

Sorry to hear you crashed. Yeah the HS65 incident I had it looked just like this guys did in the rebuild instructions.

P.S. I hit so hard I bent the link rod and broke the ball link connector! That was in Sept.

[Lota Fun R]

No biggy. :smokin: I've learned a lot and I'm having a lot of success with different stuff I'm trying, it's all part of the deal. The next level is right around the corner as long as I keep following the advice I've been given, and I plan to. :thumbup:

A Nitro 600 Trex is next up, can't wait to get that and start flying it. Will probably sell off my 450 stuff and just go Nitro. Love the Nitro!

Maybe not, I like the way the 450s are flying with the scorpion motors. -8 baby!

[Finless]

Arbor park was rockin today too! TONS of flying and was one of the more crowded days. Low plnaker count too :)

What the F B. missed you guys today at Irvine, tons of flying down there also, managed to chop of a second brand new 500 canopy that came off in flight, very minor damage, a bent fly bar and bottom plate.
BTW, picked up my 600N this afternoon, just ordered the multigov and it will be ready next weekend, the 8717 is insanly fast.

bought that one about 30 minutes before I got the chance. fooker. He has another one I might buy instead. faak.

I'm looking around to find a good price on one. Gotta find a home for the TT53H, almost forgot it's sitting there waiting.....so much other stuff going on.

Selling the CopterX 200 with all the goodies so I can buy a 600N. $450 for everything on the 200, rx and all. I"m loosing a couple bux to do that but I want the 600N more.

[bullseye1]

actualy I bought it two weeks a go and just picked it up this afternoon.

[Lota Fun R]

Can't wait to see you flog it properly.

:smokin:

[lowflyer101]

MIKE, use minititan metal canopy mount on trex500, it support and hold canopy lot better than align stock plastic
