Finally got to maiden the Rex700. Only got 2 tanks in, but man does it purrrrrrrrrr.

YS91ST and Hatori SB16FH so far seems like a great combo. Man if the 91SR makes more power sign me up, b/c this 91ST seems to have tons of it. I bought this motor with a couple tanks used, so I was happy it started and purred like a kitten. Few needle adjustments and it was hovering nicely. Having a slight issue with gyro drift :(. G7703D, my 5th one I've setup and all others have locked in after mechanical setup. This one drifts left and I think might need to be returned. Will pull one of my known good G7703D's off my 600N sport that is for sale.

Man I can see why when people go 90's they are reluctant to fly smaller helis. I'm in love after 2 tanks and can't wait to fly tomorrow. It's like the first time I hovered again :). :happyd

Only other issue I had was the side plug leaked for a few seconds but I just give it a quick little tweak/twist and it seemed to sit/seal.

Overall, was so stoked. My buddy had his out, and he put 3 tanks through his brand new YS91SR and SB19FH combo on his Rex700. My 91ST seemed a bit quieter, but I suppose with the bigger muffler that might play into it on his.

Look forward to tomorrow and burning a gallon or two :)

Welcome to the club! :thumbup:

I had not flown a 90 in almost 2 years and had forgotten how much fun they were. Glad I am back into nitro 90's again :)

Got to fly mine today after three weeks of looking at it on my table. All I can say is WOW:). During my first tank at idle it sounds amazing ran so well i coulnt wait to fly it today. During my easy tanks(running super rich, just hovering) it just sat in one spot with almost no corrections. My last tank today I got a bit more in to it, (not to much had to get the engine run in). Even rich as hell it ran and taking it easy was:):).
Well tomorrow i get the head spinning 1950 and let the motor have the load of 13(all i could get) and see how it goes.
