Very nice Alain! How are your first impressions?

That red decal line between the windshield and Diabolo wording has to be removed. I believe its like a spacer to ensure correct positioning but not meant to be left on the canopy.

smsodhi,

Did you paint the SB logo red?

But looks cool though

[ChadL]

Satnam....Are the white blades more visible than the black spin blades? BTW, your pics are making me "home" sick for the lovely English country side. I used to travel to England quite a bit and really enjoyed my time there.

I love it , only 3 flight so far ... the only problem is that it makes my E7 sound like a clunker

here are some inside shots ...

You need to trim off more plastic all the way to the base of the servo horns as it still rubs the canopy this way. I've done exactly the same as you first time around but then noticed it is still very much rubbing inside.

How's your ESC holding on there?

It was the warmest day of the year so far. 21degC. I know this is cool for some of you guys, but for me it was beautiful. The field was full of daisy's and I had my new blades on, so could not resist the photo.
The white blades are more visible.

These white canopies are growing on me...

Very nice too!

Went very well. The Triabolo is very stable at low RPM and fast on cyclic at lower RPM, I was at 1700 today and needs tweaking but it felt as though I was at 1850.
Very precise and smooth. Very impressed with it and happy. It feels different to the Diabolo in how smooth and stable it feels, not that the Diabolo was not!! Just more so. I did not push her very hard today. Just breaking her in.
I could not resist the photo of my adapted Align 600 blade holder that I had and a nice pic of her perching with her sister at home having a rest.

ok I'll check that out but I don't think they are rubbing ...I like the extra meat there

For the YGE so far so good , does not even get warm , but the motor is nice and warm...I'll have to check the temp on that one today ,what's a reasonable temp. after a flight ?

Thanks Joe,
I was thinking more about it yesterday...as you do and the best way I can describe it is that the disc seems to "grip" the air much more. A different experience.

[OverTemp]

One of a kind color scheme?

I think I spent more time on cano than any other step and its still not perfect... Good enough though. Mounting the words was a pain.

A special blade caddy for the Triabolo will be shipped next week to each owner.

Then you have the right one on your tail, Satnam

When my Diabolo one arrives I'll be able to get rid of the Mikado one I'm using at the moment - good!
A nice finishing touch to the Minicopter range I think.
