Here we are in February, just that much closer to warmer weather!!


I managed to test fly Bob’s Blade 450 at the start of Februrary. Our weather here is weird, one day it’s warm and then raining, the next it’s snowing and freezing. I needed to fix the blade tracking, which was weird…normally I have it “nailed” on the workbench, but not this time. Ok, blade tracking fixed. Then I noticed there is a fair amount of throttle stick I had to use in order to hover this heli!

The servo / clutch stack makes up the main center support of the body. What I’ve noticed most, so far into this build, is the precision of the holes drilled for the hex bolts, they are an exact fit! Alignment is very minimal.

Here we are...9 more days to Christmas!!

My review and thoughts of the Whiplash Gasser! My first gas powered heli...

As I had stated in my last blog..."I was going to leave it closed up in the shipping box and wait until I collect the rest of things I need...no WAY! I just had to see all the parts for myself..." Ok... Ok…I started building my Whiplash several days ago. I thought I would build the head and tail section, per the manual; however, I kept going...
