Super Mod & DEAL KING!
Flying a 700 anda 600 nitro.. I feel fairly confident on the 450 size.. I am confident in its heading and I know I can catch it! Or CAN I!!! LOL
Well.. The day was gloomy a bit.. but I flew my 700 whippy and my warp 360 a bunch of times.. put a ew packs through them.. and practicing my snaking manuevers on the SIm.. I finally got the nerve to do a snaking figure 8 on the 700 and the warp 360! man it was a rush! and doing those here and there with some half pro flips and one point rolls and hurricanes I was feeling good!
But THAT LAST battery .. have you noticed ever. Its that battery always.. which you say.. OK one more.. LAST and then I pack up.. and that is the one you screw up somethign in.. LOL..
hurricanes going anticlockwise inverted.. got pretty wild fast with the Warp as the wind was helping it, and it came close to ground a couple times but I kept going.. and just that lastr circle.. too much alieron and BOOM.. full power.. the warp goes and bites the dust!
THERE! First crash on the warp at Flight #12 . The warp has been given a welcome to my fleet officially now! LOL
amazingly.. the damage was pretty less..
Tail and Main blade holder hubs
Tail Boom
Main Tail Pulley (That broke.. didnt strip lol)
Tail Servo gears
Canopy standoffs.
Thats it. .The blades were ok.. both main and tail.. and all was good.. Main shaft was good..
Decided to go back home and make an order.. guess what part was the ONLY part missed in the first run of parts with the WARP 360 --- THe main tail pulley! LOL
its nowhere to be found anywhere in the world excpet one website that doesnt sell to US. I was like GREAT! I am grounded. Made posts in places asking for help .. more like crying for help cause I didnt wanna be permanently gorunded because of one stupid part..
well get emails back by a couple dealers and finally Mike J from prostar hobby (former Nankin Hobbies) .. the supplier of Compass parts in US and Canada.. that the part is coming in WEdnesday with the BIg parts run that is coming from the factory .. So it should be here.. and he will save me a few.. YES I want a few.. I am stocking now!
So anywaz.. I wont fly the warp until the next week it seems but .. I love this bird! Anyone looking for a 450 size bird that is extremely stable.. good for a beginner (by setting to LOW head speed.. ) to any one wanting practice smack... This is a great and stable bird! Flies like a dream! I highly recommend it!
And very sturdy built... can take a few bumps and stand and fly..
so anywaz.. now that I am ranting..
Vibe 50 (the one I crashed in the fun fly twice) is fixed with a fully rebuilt head and swash assembly. TRACX still but all new parts and arms and balls.
Whippy 90 now has a Hobbywing RPM sensor on it.. Flew my Castle Governor and as soon as i did mulitple manuevers simultaneously.. the head speed would drop and the esc had a hard time contemplating the next required throttle on the motor.
I will be testing out my Ikon's governor again .. Updated it last night. Changed some gains in it. Enabled my Governor. disabled it on the the castle.. got the auto rotation bail out set. So .. lets c.. when I get some time. I will test both the birds out..
Nitro will come first..
BTW tony.. muffler on mine came loose on the bottom bolt too.. Just have to make sure to tighten it after the first flight.. so its hot and it moves... and then let it cool. Just an FYI.. I forgot to do that and ues the lower bolt was loose and I saw fuel sprayed on the muffler.
