Went out and did some flying with Matt today. Flew the Edge Mini, his 450 and my 450. All flew great. Had a hard landing with the Edge though. The plane just didn't feel locked in.

Took the yak out for it's maiden today. Vid is uploading now. Took the 500 out with a dead battery (oops) and it came straight down. Only the main shaft and landing gear needed replaced. Did it on site and in the air again.

USB won't communicate with the gyro, how special... Says wrong hardware version. Yup, it's going to be one of those nights.

Got to work, started the setup on the gyro and everything was going fine. Then I hit menu J and was stuck. I forgot my pitch gauge to adjust the pitch.... it's always something lol. But, it's almost there. Might finish it when I get home and try to get a flight in before I go to bed. Should make the neighbors mad firing this thing up at 0700 hehe.

Hey Tony you are into Aquariums I'm going to sell ours and don't have a clue what they are worth. It is a 72 gal Bow front, stand, gravel, air pumps, glass top, light, and the filter! IT is a Fluval 404, it needs a few parts but I never had a problem with it keeping the tank clean.

Any ideas?

Um, a 72 bow alone would be about a bill, maybe a bill fiddy. the canister filter, I have no clue, maybe $50?... Might start at $250-$300 and let them talk you down a bit.

well, I didn't bring any of the heli's to work with me tonight. Don't have anything to do to them. How often can I say that lmao. So, in my boredom, I started tearing the dash apart in my truck. I figured why not lmao.

When we purchased this truck, we did so knowing that most of the lights on the dash (not the instrument panel) were burnt out or something else was wrong. This give us a bit of a better deal. Replacing them takes time, but it's pretty cheap if you know where to get the lights, and I do hehe.

So the first thing that I took out was the head light switch. NONE of the lights in this thing work. Did an ohm test, and sure enough, blown bulbs. Next I take out the box with my bed light and fog light switches. Again, all burnt out except the amber light for the fog lights. Now the big one, the radio. This took some time but I got it apart. Some of the lights are good, some bad, but none are working. I'm thinking they may have been run in series. No matter, I will just replace all fo them and get that blue crap off of the bulbs.

Here is a picture of the face of my radio removed.

So, I ordered 25 new lights for this truck. It's going to take some time to solder them all in, but shouldn't be too bad. Best of all, I will be able to see the switches that I'm trying to turn on and such lmao.

Here are the before pictures of my dash. As stated, the instrument panel is fine, it's the radio, the temp indicator on my hvac controls, and on teh left where the head light switch is located that is burnt out. Now we wait for UPS to deliver what has to be the lightest shipment I have ever ordered lmao. These bulbs are tiny...

Currently tracking an order I made on HeliDirect. Registered 26th of June - then NOTHING!! Only today it shows up at NY, marked as departed from US.

One whole week just to get it sent out of the country! That's terrible... China beats shipping from US any day. I don't like ordering from the US anymore :(
