do you have an N9?? if not then I cant tell you. and we are not snobs, we're vain. we care how we look when we fly our helis. just wait till the Avro- Blitz club rolls in next month.
What? Planning for your next heli already?:DOH

the tail belt is fine, you got it taped back together. It will last another 50 flights. I am tired of helis crashing into my truck, this is the second time and none were mine, and at the costomer house I was working at , the gate came crashing into my bumper . I think hard hats will be required at all flying spots. and I need a new truck.
synergy was ripping today , logo and trex were dialed. Mikes new heli was all broke in and banging hard.
seeyou tomorrow.

it was nice gettin out and chillin with you guys for awhile. Thanks again to bullseye for the bike stuff. the light seems to work fine (i charged it) ;)
I also got my monthly dose of almost getting hit in the head by a heli :shock: but all is okay except airboss' truck. Still a bit scary to have a trex 500 smack into a car 5 feet from your head

I liked the part when bullseye said,"it didnt hit your truck" . better the truck than my F'n head! I dont think he saw were it went. reminds you of the maniacs that used to fly ochc suzuki field.

Nice. Glad I missed the action, if I would of been there it would of hit me, I always get caught up in that $hit! :thumbdown:
I need blades for the 450, LHS didn't have any woodies and I won't pay $50 for a set of blades, at least not for a 450. If anyone has any woodies they would part with I will be glad to pay for them if you could bring them. I've got some carbon fiber blades on order and in the mail but they aren't here yet. I don't like the CF ones I have on.
Picked up a gallon of Nitro and the 90 is just as ready as ever, maybe some fine tunning but it just seems to work right 99% of the time. Old dino that just works. It aint the latest greatest but it gets the job done and I'm no Szabo so it doesn't matter.
I'm thinking my next 90 might be a Trex? Still need to get the 600 project off the ground....I got side tracked on that stupid little 200 CopterX, I've got almost $500 into it. :arggg: but I'll press on and finish it.
Trying to put together a complete metal head set up for the 90 but I can't find blade grip bearings or the machine screws that replace the sheetmetal screws on the misc parts..

lot fun r, i would suggest these if you want carbon blades on a budget. a lot better than woodies, but still 10-15 bucks cheaper than other blades.

Just came back from Irvine field and I had a great time there. Although my Synergy N9 was not flyable but I really enjoyed flying my buddy's trex 600N, thanks Tommy. It was usually so fun to mess around with the OC guys.
I just wanted to let Mike know that "your Trex 450 really got balls!"
Here are some pictures:
