Went out flying Saturday with another two new heli pilots (that’s 4 total). Jason has a Blade 450 3D, and Dennis has a Trex 450 SA(?), it needs some more fine tuning, but flyable for a trainer.

Jason had his Blade 450 at the hobby shop for repairs earlier in the week (something Jason will never do from this time on!). We got together Friday night and gave it a good going over. I took the opportunity to program my new DX8 radio as a trainer. However, not being familiar with my new...

Went to Firestone today to fly with the guys. I got there around 10AM. Ed was already there. I setup and wondered if I was carrying way too much stuff?

Skookum (SK-720)

Posted 05-03-2012 at 02:36 PM by dpelletier (DPelletier's path to RC Helicopter discoveries)

SK-720 - I bought it for the apparent quality, programming capabilities, the Self Leveling and because it is a Canadian product (I'm Canadian).

But I have decided that I do not want to use the self leveling at the risk of becoming dependent on it.
And I don't want to deal with the vibration stuff. I find I'm getting bogged down with all the available data, vibrations, telemetry amps, voltages, wattage, temperatures...

Heli-Log 5:3:2012

Posted 05-03-2012 at 09:44 AM by rcnut

Last night was our club meeting, which went rather well. In the past, (last year) there was a big fallout within. To sum things up, the club almost dissolved due to an attempted hostile take-over by the big-bird plankers. Our field would rank on the list of best flying fields in the USA. So naturally the airplane guy's would want it for themselves. As it stands now, we have a completely new board, everyone is welcomed to fly (heli's included), and we have and understanding of how things are going...
