Nice! $250 batteries though:shock:.

I live in Concord CA as well, lots of concrete and trees here by I-680, where will you fly the 600 at?

[LockMD]

Cool we should hook up. I'm going to someone's house tomorrow to look at their 600 it will use the same batts as my 400 - he's gonna show me how to hook them up in series and parallel at the same time. ???

I will fly at court lane (close to my house) or out by the navy base.

[GreenBar0n]

I'd like to check out the Navy Base, they don't care if you fly out there?

[LockMD]

its not the base itself just out by it used it for a reference so you would have an idea where it was, they mostly fly nitros out there.

Just ordered my 600 and gonna fly with a couple guys tomorrow at court lane at 10am if your interested drop by, he is bringing his 600 too.

[GreenBar0n]

Had to do the family thing today, you guys fly out there most weekends? I would like to check out the 600's. When do you figure yours will be built and flying?

[LockMD]

Today was my first time out of the back yard :) was sooooo hyped up flying with more room I am playing hooky tomorrow and we are meeting at 10 again tomorrow sssshhhhhhhhh dont tell no one - cough cough - I am feeling a little bit sick :)

I have no clue when it will be built and flying, but its on order should get this week but I will take my time and do it right so maybe in a month or so I will be able to maiden it.

That 600 sounds soooooooo mean as its spooling down it almost sounds like a nitro, I cant wait!

[GreenBar0n]

I PM'd you LockMD, looking forward to flying with you guys:thumbup:.

USPS from ReadyHeli says the gy401 will be here today, here's to hoping:cheers.

[sokal]

Okay cool, looking forward to it too. Did your 401 come in yet, let me know if ya need some help setting it up, I did.

I did get the 401 and I may indeed need some help :).

I crashed pretty well last Sunday and I am waiting on a new servo case for the 3400g before I can get started with the 401's configuration.

All the LHS were out of the 3400g servo case and ds285 gear rebuild kits, so I am anxiously awaiting the postal service. I tried to get those parts at Heliproz but they were out of ds285 gears, so I ordered from ReadyHeli in Florida, cleaned them out of ds285 rebuilds, bought three. The parts might not be here until Thursday :arggg:. Lots of work to be done when they do arrive:hammer.

Let's get out there!

[LockMD]

k just let me know - I'll pm ya my number/e-mail

My 3400g quit working too (not exactly sure why) but LHS had none and I couldnt wait so I put in a Futaba s9650 instead, seems to hold the same and its 15 bucks cheaper. Hey that's a 12 pack :)

Can't let that 3400g go to waste, if you need wrap wire or soldering I've got you covered. Is it totally dead?

[LockMD]

yup - no power

[GreenBar0n]

Any frays or obvious signs of pulling outside the case?

[LockMD]

no and when you move it manually doesnt sound like anything is stripped ???

[GreenBar0n]

Should be an easy fix if the motor isn't fried. I've got a meter and solder setup, if you want we can crack it open and take a look.

[LockMD]

sure, I'll have it in my toolbox when we get together for a flight or two.....

[GreenBar0n]

USPS says my parts will be here today, so hopefully we'll be out there sooner than later.

I'm going to build some trainer gear today and then try to get the 401 reined in without incident.
