  1. EvilC57 and Engine Doctor. I am always very happy to receice constructive criticism about any of my videos that I post. However, the sarcastic tone of your replies I feel is unwarranted. Sure it's not a quality movie and I do not claim to be a professional videographer and my time is limited. The video is just a bit of light hearted fun shot in one morning using one head mounted camera. I thought it might be interesting for others to see but, it seems I was wrong. Perhaps, if I make another posting, I will add a trigger warning at the begining in order not to waste any more of your time? Or, perhaps one or both you could show me an example of one of your videos to help me learn how it's done? Cheers.
  2. Unfortunately I can't give you your 6 mins back. Sorry to have wasted your time!
  3. I had the same error message yesterday evening. Site was reluctant to start up a couple of hours ago too.

  5. Toto, I use 4S 2700's in my model and my timer is set to 10 minutes. After a flight and a while resting the lipos are at storage charge and can be safely stored until the next flying session. I try to fly mine in a scale like manner hence battery consumption is relatively low. I think the model has enough oomph to do the basic manouvres that the full size is able to do - it's not a model to be flown aggressively, there are better options for that. I do agrree that the model is succeptable to the wind, it has a light wing loading and the wings do catch a lot of air. It is a gem in still air! I would definitely go for your 3250 packs, remember to check the CG. The extra weight will help give a tad more stability and increase your flight times. Start at your current 5 minutes, check the pack after flying and gradually increase the flight time until you reach a good balance between flight time and pack condition. Have fun and report back
  6. Good news Toto - Congratulations on your successful maiden.
  7. Pleased to be of help. If you have any more questions or doubts don't hesitate to ask.
  8. Hi toto, The collet is very awkward to get into! I adapted an allen key specifically for the job as in the photo. The drill bit was used as a temporary axle and can be ignored.
  9. Yeh, the black wheel cap needs to be prised off somehow. I drilled a small hole in mine and then used a small allen key to pull it off the hub. If you're careful there's less damage to the cap than levering it off with a scredriver or similar. See the first pic. With the cap removed you will find the wheel retained by a circlip. This, of course, needs to be removed before the wheel can be. Then, depending on your new wheels you may have to find a new method of securing them to the axle. I used collets as seen in the second pic. The wheels are from the Hobbyking Avios Grand Tundra. Hope this helps and look forward to seeing your result.
  10. I made my comment on the youtube video. Wonderful!
  11. I will be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Reflex system once you have the model flying. I removed it from mine and have never used it.
