Great weekend !

[Buzzkill]

I don't know about you guys but I've had my best Heli flying weekend ever. My girlfriend bought me a new battery for my 500 and I got to go through 16 packs straight in my Gaui 200 Saturday. I've been flying as fast as I can charge them all weekend. Crashed my Gaui 3 times didn't even break a see-saw! Sure I totally nosed dived full throttle, three feet from the ground all out, canopy crushingt as fast as she could go dirt nap and blew a DSP60. Who cares? I didn't break a see-saw! Got another 4 flights on the 500 and am rebuilding two of my 200's at the moment, New bearrings, belt, clean up and general matainance. I'm just taking a break to check the Freak.

Here's hoping all of you are having a great flying weekend too! :thumbup:

See-saw is fine believe it or not. I was amazed. Two crashes before the dirt nap and no broken see-saw on those either. Must have been my day. Don't have any pic, all I have is a onboard cam on my T500 and the video sucks, very "wavy". Good thing is I have one Gaui 200 totally rebuilt (been sitting for a few day) all clean, adjusted and lubed ready to go. I should have the other one done shortly. T500 batteries are charged, 4 Gaui's charged and lining up the rest. If it's not windy tomorrow I'll have my girlfriend take some vids.

Go get 'em Buzz!

I too went out and used-up/recharged every pack I've got.

I started with some hovers inside, as it was still windy, then just had to go out and enjoy the sunshine.

Little 200 is getting smoother (breakin??) and I guess maybe I can now handle more wind. Did figure 8's and hovered a bunch, then said the heck with it and "safaried" around the backyard doing t/o's and landings from one point to the other, alternating nose and tail landings.

What a blast! Got in about an hour of 200 time total, did'nt crash once, or have anything fail. Just a few grass-stains on the tailrotor blades ;-)

Sounds like my day minus the CX2 :).

It's a an A-HD 720P High Definition Camcorder. Way too heavy for a Gaui but the T500 takes the weight no problem.

Wow cool, sounds like a nice cam... too bad it didn't capture the video well, sounds like there is too much vibration, I find mounting cams straight on the frame to be the best to reduce the waviness.
