Up and flying yet?

[cudaboy_71]

FINALLY! yesterday early afternoon, finally had a successful vbar maiden/hover trim flight. got that on video just in case that was the only flight it ever had (i'm the consummate optimist, i know). keychain helmet cam (http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=172225) is working out quite well, except for some shaking when someone asks me a question :D

however, this is the 3rd partial flight of the day after having upped the agility settings slightly. it's still bogging quite badly--i'm spoiled with my 12s 600 setup. i really have to baby the collective on this one. but, it will be tons of fun i think.

pardon the banter in the video. i land about 1/2 way through to lean out the mixture a couple of clicks when i see my rx pack is done.

HD vid is slightly larger if you click on the vid.

Looks like the Team at henseleit is having a lot of fun in cold weather, how do they get the fireworks etc on it??

[worldofmaya]

The Firework is something Robert Sixt does since I can remember. I don't know how he does it, but his show is really impressive. I saw it at the time when he was flying his MPs like this Video -> http://www.rcmovie.de/video/2ad67301d09326177c42/Robert-Sixt-Nachtflug-St-Johann-08

[helicraze]

Yes i saw that a while ago.

Robert is one of my favorite pilots, very skillfull, he always seems to be the one making jokes in videos.

[worldofmaya]

Yeah, that's part of his show... he isn't one of the Hard-3D or competition pilots, the only competition I saw him was MHM09 in Munich). He has a very inspirational style and he flies really precise.

Looks good, but must be hard to see? How do you like it?

[Edvard R]

It's awesome.

Flew like a dream straight from the work bench – no tweaking necessary – at all.

Hovering with 1350 RPM is amazing. Not a single sound other than blades beating air ever so slowly. It is scary silent – no shrieking gears, no nothing – you just see the blades spinning...:shock:
At almost 400 grams lighter than my 700E and with the same drive train, it certainly moves when you tell it to. IU2 is 1850...

I have a white canopy as well - a lot easier to see further away. The black one is fine for up close and personal :YeaBaby:

My ThreeDee NT, I have changed the motor to a OS 91 HZ-PS, a bit of a struggle actually, as the FX that was on it has a different shaft sticking out to mount the clutch assy. to.
The solution was using the FX's cranckshaft and rod in the HZ-PS... seems to work, but I have only had a short flight with it, the FX-crank has less flow for the fuel than the HZ... looking forward to seeing how it works out..

Engine area, spektrum revcounter and satellite, and a small temperature sensor.
had to move the pump to be able to mount the exhaust...

Rear, another satellite, logitech gyro, home made panel with the pin/flag, remote glow and fuel filling. (think i should have used flash on this pic)
