If you are reading this (which I know you are) please take this opportunity to tighten your screws! Go over the head, tail, frame, and all mounts and check for any loose screws tighten any that you find to be loose. Hey I'm just here to help so this is just a friendly reminder.

Helping 1 screw at a time! Don't forget to check the screws inside the tail blade grips they are often times overlooked!

another_finn · 08-21-2008, 01:38 AM

I suppose we all have a screw loose

Two days sick leave, so it's a good time to check all of mine... Thanks for the reminder

Hope you're not sick Mika!

helihathnofury · 08-21-2008, 01:00 PM

Could just be sick of work, or the weather, or both !!!!!!

Jonnyheli · 08-21-2008, 01:47 PM

Im sick of weather. When its raining I cant fly. When its sunny I cant fly because my mates want me to come out

Thanks for the reminder HY. Youv'e just reminded me that I need to re setup my head because the tracking is awful.

copterboy · 08-21-2008, 03:21 PM

LOL

I've found a few loose screws recently, now I always threadlock

I'm going in hospital for an operation in October and will need 2 weeks leave to recover - can't wait I'll still be able to take my heli down the park!!!

Just realised, I will be able to hear my heli in stereo after 30 yrs deafness in one ear!!

LOL! Unfortunately I wouldn't want to sneak out with a heli at the moment, even if the weather permitted. There's a high probability I would end up redecorating my DX7

Good luck with the operation, Copterboy - hearing the blades whip the air in stereo is definitely going to be worth it. I had an ear lock up during the night a few weeks ago, and couldn't clear it for hours... Made me realize how much of our 3D perception is actually aided by sound.

Heli Yea! · 08-21-2008, 03:38 PM

Congrats Copterboy when you hear it be prepaired to poo just like the first time. Good luck w/ the surgery can't wait to "HEAR" the results!

Ber60 · 08-21-2008, 03:57 PM

The downside is copterboy you will hear your wife nagging in stereo to

Sorry boys could not resist

Jonnyheli · 08-21-2008, 04:02 PM

I bet he will like to hear the results himself

Copterboy, hope the opp goes well. Ask your wife to get you surround sound for your TV as a get well present

Lol Mika, decorate the DX7

Good one

-Jonny

Heli Yea! · 08-21-2008, 04:07 PM

Always pros and cons you will always get em' both here at the freak!

copterboy · 08-21-2008, 04:19 PM

Yeah, true, but still my girlfriend and not wife (yet!!!)

No more pretending not to hear my alarm in the morning though (lol), or the baby when it arrives!!!

When you gunna pop the question?

Im guessing your girlfriend is pregnant then?

-Jonny

copterboy · 08-22-2008, 11:12 AM

Haha...no plans yet, but will do eventually. We talked about all that and as we're both 33 y.o, we wanted to get on with kids first (whilst we still got our health) and get married later. Still doesn't stop her from dropping hints though...lol!!

Ps. Congrats on the exam results - wish I had worked that hard at school now. I wanna change of career from payroll/finance to plumbing, but my options are limited by my crappy result's...so well done again!

Heli Yea! · 09-01-2008, 01:00 AM

How are your screws doing? Are they tight? Just checking!(AKA bump!)

copterboy · 09-01-2008, 06:57 AM

First test flight tonight - with blue threadlock. Will let you know how I get on but it's a bit windy round these parts!

psilo · 09-01-2008, 01:44 PM

I am gonna be at it all night

I just got back from 10 days in Spain (without my helis unfortunately!) so need to get the CopterX build completed this week before I head off to Kuwait again (am taking the CopterX with me this time). Didn't like the cross head screws in the CopterX frame so have bought the Align hex nut set and will rebuild the frame with these tonight (threadlocking all of course).

Really should screw my belt a bit too but that can wait till I am finished with the CopterX.

another_finn · 09-01-2008, 03:04 PM

Must... resist...

copterboy · 09-01-2008, 04:06 PM

Must resist...comments would probably cause offence!!! By the way 'The Bump' is really growing now, 17wks. Got next scan in 3 weeks.

Didn't even get a full battery on it tonight, too windy and got a problem to fix with the rudder servo. I mentioned that I stripped an SG90 and had to swap it to an Align servo, well now the tail just won't hold.

Think I know what's causing it so will do some work tomorrow. I'll either be asking your help again or let you know how my screwing about is doing!!

helihathnofury · 09-02-2008, 03:27 AM

C-B, I second all of the support and words of good wishes by our mates on the forum regarding your op and girlfriends' "bump" -

HEAR !! HEAR !!
