Stopped by the old LHS today, picked up a necessity , some leafs to try... and I saw thus little fella sitting there all by his lonesome self so I just had to take'm home too... just gotta figure out a way to strap FPV gear to his back now...lol

Just cleaner... from this... to this...

Nothing more I dislike more than big bunches of ziptied messy wiring so I took a little time to clean things up and shorten some wires.

If you're giving them away...I'll be your huckleberry ;)

I've been using the Gemfan 5045's as recommended by my LHS and judging by the chart above they gave me the most effecient and well rounded prop. As far as handling, it tried the 6030's I had last night and I'm certainly really noob but to me they felt a little sluggish in comparison to the 5045's.

I have not been...Funny enough I just read something about prop balancing about an hour ago, looks like my next purchase had better be a balancer! Thanks for bringing it up, I'm going to have to give the guys at the LHS a hard time for not mentioning it to me...jerks, lol. Can you suggest a...

I've been flying the 5045's with my NightHawk 250 but have exhausted my supply. The kit came with the 6030's but it was suggested that I start with the 5045's and now that I have run dry of my initial purchase I went back to my LHS today to find that they were also running low of the same, I...

First pack this morning I broke a propeller, second pack and one of the landing gear legs fell off mid flight. While I was putting the little leg back on I noticed that a few other screws not fastened to a nylon lock nut were also loose...time for the loc-tite solution. Added loc-tite to...

Running low on props...need to find some bulk 5045's...Meh!

Burning packs...crashing...fixing...burning packs...crashing...fixing...burning packs...crashing...fixing...Burning packs...The current life cycle is unbroken!

Maybe I should lay off the beer completely, my system always burned hotter on Scotch:cool: <edit> Where'd that video come from??? LOL, wasn't there when I initially responded.

@Ede, So far the eight beers has come and gone, In that time period I've flown almost a hundred packs but the only racing I've done is the race to break parts...maybe I should slow down on the beer :p

Just getting started here but already the amounts of equipment are massing, I figure I need to find a good field box to go in the back of my Jeep...Something with different compartments would be Ideal. A separate compartment for tools, video equip., batteries/charger, spare parts, radio's and of...

Just coming to the realization that the next item I'm going to have to find is a large field box to go in the back of the Jeep!

Thanks @RGJameson ...right now, crashing's kinda my thing ;) Stopped by the LHS and picked up this little standalone video unit so the wifey can watch, she isn't so keen on the goggles...yet. Has a nice auto scan feature that I kinda like and a built in lipo so no other batteries to drag...

Well, I've been doing allot of flying and also a bunch of crashing so I'm glad I was using the plastic 5" props instead of the 6" carbon ones the kit came with and since I'm really not using the FPV kit yet I decided to pull it and save it from the abuse...hopefully soon I will be feeling...

and a kewl picture (IMHO) prior to first flight and first crash under the bed which broke the antenna off and killed the Video Trans. now gone to a little stubby...

Inspirational! My radio skillz need a lot of work before I'm anywhere near that... Some info on the Taranis-E and "My Radio"...in my lap ;) and Goggles with the fun antennas... and the first casualty of my new adventure, who knew you needed the antenna while it was powered up...seeing...

That Freestyle flying is pretty darn Awsome...I can certainly see myself getting down with that, looks like too much fun not to be doing.

In the morning it was straight to the computer and time to mash my way through some programming and more uncounted hours fiddling around...yes, I am wishing I had come here first but what fun would that have been >SMH<. Actually programming the board itself was somewhat easy. More to come...
