Hey Bob,
Step 13 cracked me up. I'm watching you videos of the 700N build to see what people claim it's better then an Aurora. In Step 13 when you are talking about putting the tail fin on the boom your head button from then Aurora falls into picture. That was amusing.

yeah I saw that and was like... HEY WAIT!!!! that's the head button from the Aurora. Then I thought out confusing that could be having 2 90's on the same bench parts kind of intermixed.
Andrew
Step 15 you might wanna adjust the tail servo limits AFTER you adjust the metal rod supports on the boom.

Thanks Bob! Another Finless Video Master Piece. That sounds like an Old timer black and white TV show." Master Piece Theater", unless my memory is failing.
Anyway, Thanks for are all of your effort and support to this Hobby....

Yea. Sometimes you can see the Camel pack. You can't hide the smoke when you're using an HD camera :-).

I wonder if it will be possible to use the AR7100R sensor with the O.S. 91 with the pump in the backplate ?

Check out the last pages of the Aurora build thread lots of talk about that.

BobThanks for the great vids Bob. I've never seen a nitro built before, and it was very interesting. Do you think you'll follow up with some vids on breaking in and tweaking the new motor (basically everything else you need to do to get running after the build is complete)? That would be awesome, especially for noobs like me that have never seen it or used a nitro heli before.
Thanks,
RĒzĒ

Bob,
Was watching the videos, and suddenly there is a sensor or something connected at the backplate of the engine. Backed up several videos, and could never figure out what it is, or when it was installed.

Watch the Electronics install vid and I discuss it
OR see this new series on the AR7100

Wholly Smokes that was some sweet flying skills! Makes me sick! I'm still learning nose in. :noteworthy
What would expect to budget for an average700 bundled cost, and when they will be available????!!!!!
Something tells me there will be (or already are) a lot of 600 nitro's on ebay... :YeaBaby:

Hey Bob, nice flying!
What blades are you running? And do you like um? I know Andy really likes the 710 "stick bangers" on his 700. Pilot preference I know ;)

Bob,
So enlighten us. What have you liked about the Aurora build? What have you liked about the Trex700N?
What are your overall impressions of each? How do the builds compare?

Nice flying Bob - few new tricks every time we see a flight video posted :thumbup:- T700 looks pretty agile and nice in the air :) - the 90s certainly have something special going for them and much easier to see with middle aged eyes !

Brian.... I have not calculated the total cost but I would bet the minimum for a decent 90 setup is going to be $1500 minimum. I high end setup like mine is probably close to $2K.
Huskynox, those ARE in fact Curtis 710 Stick Bangers that Curtis sent to me a few month ago. Thanks CY!!! So far I love them!
Rock.... I have not finished the Aurora yet so haven't flown it either.... AND honestly I know they will both be different and thus I doubt I will be able to give a comparison because it will be apples and oranges comparison! I have had other 90's before and each had their own "complements" and "differences".... So I am not sure I will ever be able to make a post of me saying WHICH is better....
John and Rotorhead.... Thanks for the complements... I fly EVERY week just about so I try to learn new things... I am a slow patient learner and don't RUSH it..... BUT my flying is LAME compared to the folks I fly with and what top pilots can do... THAT is why I enjoy this hobby because I am enjoying learning! I think if I could fly like a Szabo I probably would get bored..... The "A" type personality ;) Bordom comes when there is no challange!
