All props on backwards. Ooops. My eBay deal of the year video!

[photojunky]

I think I got the eBay deal of the year ($456 total). It was advertised as never flown and it appears to be true. There were no real scratches but just a thin layer of dust as if it had been sitting for a while. I plugged it into the computer and setup everything for my Futaba 14 and it flew great once I put the props on the right way... lol. I did a quick look at the price of the parts and saw they were all quality parts and rather expensive, more than what I would have spent.

Very nice , a great find they are very smooth to fly , a nice upgrade is the retractable legs as long as the transmitter has a channel spare

Great find!

My first R/C helicopter came in a box as a wreck. Took a couple evenings to get it flying. This was like 1981.

I was gifted this exact review model. This was his pic.



I had some major problems trying to get it airborne. Finally I carefully re-read the manual.




I also had major problems trying to bind the RX after the TX/quad updates. Turns out what I thought was the bind plug was actually just a protective cap on the terminals.

LOL, you are making fun of me right okay, I will explain what happened. Normally I mount the LED facing backwards on the landing gear so I can see it when I am 20 feet away when waiting for the green lights. This one came with the LED mounted in the back correctly, but mounted facing directly down so when I put on the props I did not see it and just assumed that it was facing forward. At least it was all and not just one.

Nope. I had installed the props as I always had in the past, this quad did not use the typical motor rotation.

Cool looking quad.
