Finally got my 600 back in the air .... what a different machine with the new one way bearing I fitted... super quite and ... not vibrations!.....

Re set up all ,u Gyro and blade tracking and pitch with my new digital gauge .... what a difference (my pitch gauge was so inaccurate it was not funny) - I am talking 3 degrees out!


Man I love this hobby!

My fingers are working just fine with all the sim time I have been having ... it has been fantastic.

no Video though! sorry guys ... went out on a whim and showed some mates I really can fly! (they did not believe me!) got hte most common questions too :) How far can it go ... and how high?

That's awesome, Westy!!! Glad everything worked out. What did you do about the pinion issue?

It's kinda funny how often we get those common questions, "How far can it go?" and "...how high", lol

The sound of the blades when they are going slow is enough to make you pucker a little lmao.
