ITCHY FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!

[helihathnofury]

Dedicated to those of us who are grounded, due bad crash, waiting for postman, sick bird, or sick pilot!!!!!!!! Come share your frustrations with Uncle Mike.................................

:hug:

[DierWolf]

LOL this is why i have multiple parts and multiple heli's :)

Downtime sucks, learned that the very first time i bought the lama :) so now always have stock on everything and restock before running out.

[Ber60]

Like you, I am waiting on my cnc head and tail and my futaba 7c 2.4 I ordered from tower hobbies with CE label

[mnwizard]

How's the hand doing there Ber60?

[helihathnofury]

Yep, personal injury can be lamented upon!!!!! Present company included!! How is your hand Ber?

[Ber60]

Healed well, fully functional ,just the middle finger a bit stiff :)
Not like Mike who has still 4 weeks to go

[DierWolf]

Stiff middle finger.. Hmmm.. Must be something going around.:lol:

[Ian 777]

My Motor Is still glitching but Grant is coming over tomorrow to help me find the problem by plugging bits from his broken belt into it :)

Isnt that great of him?:hug:

[helihathnofury]

"My Motor Is still glitching" ?
Is that some form of euphamism Ian??????

:YeaBaby:

[Ian 777]

How dare you sir, Fie to your levity you bounder. When a chap has the glitches he certainly doesn't expect to have smutty inurendo thrust upon him:shock::shock::shock:

[helihathnofury]

I resemble that bounder remark!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ian 777]

Indeed you do sir, I hope it isn't contageous:YeaBaby:

[helihathnofury]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!
Had my itchy fingers sifting the stuff on flebay, and ended up on head lock gyros. Apart from the pEsky one, found an iMax G192. Cheap, and would I be right in saying you get what you pay for?

[DierWolf]

I heard the iMax works pretty good..... I personally use the Esky one, reallydont know what everyones complaining about my tail holes perfectly fine as you can see in my video's.

[Ian 777]

Have no complaints about my rate gyro either, had it out in 25 mph winds today without any probs, but if others are superior I want my heli to be as good as it can:thumbup:

All the best Ian

[helihathnofury]

My itchy fingers went swiftly back to flebay and bought a pEsky HH gyro for £20, which I thought was a good price - mixed metaphor:-

"a bargain is in the eye of the beholder"

Wont recognise the bird when she has her new CNC head/tail, HH gyro and Trex canopy!!!!!!!!!
Tried the sim yesterday [clearview and helisim] but kept crashing. Will persever on new technique, without thumbs!!!!!!

Mike, I've been finding that regular internet web sites often have very much better pricing and shipping than ebay sellers do. I think we should perhaps have a consensus of opinion on who's the best?

[helihathnofury]

Yes, Martin, maybe we should start a new topic on it, after all, we generally are all after the same parts to bling our Belt up with.
Guys I use on flebay are Goodlucksell and Cyberport888. Never had a prob with them at all.

Mike

[helihathnofury]

Having said that though, I had notification this morning that the "goodlucksell" chap had been suspended for illegal procedure or something. Would bo nice to know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.


Mike

[mnwizard]

I've used Cyberport888 several times. No problems.

[helihathnofury]

Here I am, again, waiting for Mr Postman. Snag is, I live a bit in the sticks, so will prob not get my stuff until Monday lunchtime - if I am lucky. Guess i will have to resort to a bit of "lama-ing". BTW, have tried the Blade 400 main gear and it works reaaly well - a straight fit. Was losing power, despite the new "Gerd" batteries, which I knew were fully charged. So after switching the Helimax gear for the Eflite gear, and all was well, I suspected that the one-way bearing was on its way out, for some reason. Curious.
Happy flying guys !!!!!!!!!!!
Mike

[Ian 777]

Me too mate, noticed that the tail rotor bearings were shot when I stripped it after my crash, all the other bits arrived yesterday, supposed to come today........

Keep looking hopefully down the road for the post van:)

[helihathnofury]

Ian,
I ordered some of those turnbuckle type linkage rods to use from the swashplate - they look like a good idea to get perfect tracking

Mike

[Ian 777]

Where from mate? thats the right way to make linkges really isn't it?

[helihathnofury]

Buzzflyer has them at £5.95 a pair, Ian.
