What happened? showed up at 11:30 and OCMA was empty? You east side guys can't stand a little wind?:) Went to Gyro then Arbor later and wind died down, so flew many packs for the rest of the day.
Any body have a spare Logo500 boom and 550mm blades? (mike?) My Logo500 Vbar maiden lasted 4 sec.:mad:
I thought I saw you @ GYRO today... around 1230 or so. Was going to say Hi, but still dont know everyone.
yea... Wind scares em' I usually dont get nervous until its 30 sutained with gusts to 50

4 sec. ?? is that a new record :YeaBaby: I'm just kidding Kevin, sorry to hear that, I have some 550 woodies and the booms on the Logo 10 not the same. let me know if you want a set of woodies.
Check with Halo3 or Aox they might have a spare.

Cool, Thanks Gene and Mike. Yes the logo 10 boom is the same as logo 500.
Yes 4 sec, checked every thing before spool-up except one thing... gyro sense direction on the cyclic. :arggg: Unlike reversing gyro on the tail, reversing gyro on the cyclic on a Vbar is a lot more disastrous.

Seems like you guys had a great time today. I missed you all this time.
I went down to Carson field and actually had a chance to fly one of the first trex 700s. Guys I have to say the 700's performance beats the Synergy big time!!! Did a couple os flights and left for a birthday party at 1200pm
Actually I'm just kidding. I did not fly the 700 but Andy did and it flew great. 1 lbs lighter than my synergy and of course it's got more power!
My Nikon camera sucked and I was not able to take any good action pictures of the 700.

Have fun!
fun day... Tables ahh nice... 4 good flights... brings me to 2 gallons this week alone. DOH ! ! Sorry to see a little gravity storm come through targeting a few.... I have to say though, even the Russian judge scored those with 9.5's... good to hang out with the heli guys again... I should be around next Sunday. Perhaps even during the week. Working Mon, Wed, Thurs, and Saturday. Perhaps Weds PM, or Fri AM.
good times, and no bad days.
