Electric Planes, Heli's and EDFs: Discussion, pics and video Thread

[Diesel6401]

Last time I went flying was 3 weeks ago and I crashed a bipe and a 450x.

I haven't had much of any r/c time. Lots going on. Finally started my 450x rebuild and I picked up a 2nd from a friend for a really good price. The one I crashed is in the back.


My fusuno canopy is pretty bad. Last few days I've finally been able to work on it.

So far I've:
- repaired the skids
- repaired the frame
- new gears (main & tail)
- new servo gears (pitch servo)
- hitec is replacing my tail servo which fried, should be here next week.
- new main shaft
- new boom
- new feathering spindle

Ill need to add new main blades and I'm waiting on a flybarless link. I have new skids and main frame, but the breaks where clean and easy to repair with some good epoxy. On the main frame I installed some popsicle stick doublers on the side. Seems good.

I didn't know they (E-Flite) has a new Spitfire. I've been eying up the large E-Flite Hawker Hurricane. That looks awesome.

Yea its a good looking bird. The new PKZ corsair looks very good as well. I don't like the drop tanks in it, but they're removable.

Nice. Hows it fly?

You see the new Sbach V2 with AS3X? http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/De...rodId=EFLU4950

I've got my eye on the new nano cp-x. That little thing looks awesome. 3 of by friends have them and love them.

the as3x is pretty cool I will say...
feels like is a little bigger in the air but this thing lacks power so it feels sluggish to me while in the air..
not sure if I would buy it again...

I will be getting the new Sbach 3D!
I love my V1 and with the as3x + $40 cheaper, its a winner for me!
may have to try one of those nano cp-x if your friends say they love them..
didn't impress me in the box, but maybe when flying..

I've did another clip for comparisons of the different capture settings of the Hobby King HD wing cam today. Flying with my Hover Things FPV quad it looks as if I need to do a little better job of balancing my props, but will eventually get all the "jello" effect taken care of.
Other than that, I'm really very impressed with the video quality. This video starts at the 720P60 setting, then to 720P30, followed by 1080P30 and Full HD30. It's a little longer than I originally intended at 7 minutes but it took a little over the anticipated 90 seconds on each setting to get up to altitude, make a pass or two and back down again.
I like this camera.

Went down to SRQ this morning and flew. Shot a few vids as well. Couple of nice warbirds but since they were not electric....

I did get this of a couple of EDF's flying (shot from the ground with my handheld)

And made an attempt at shooting a little 3D foamy from the HT-FPV aerial platform with the HK wing cam at Full HD30.

Not bad video for the price D. About 1/3 the price of a hero 2. And lots lighter.
Here's a link to the cam. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...80P_30FPS.html

Off to my ladies to see her and her kids, and taking this with me to setup over at her house
it was only $5 more RTR at my favorite special place than Hobbytown's BnF version

Hells yea. Put the FFF blades for better performance. I've crashed this thing so hard already lol. Tough little sob!

Pretty sure my Trex 500 would eat this thing and act like nothing happened LOL.

Will do on the FFF blades!
need more pop to it
mine does not punch out like my mCPX

Shot some more video with the Hobby King HD wing cam today at Wattfest. It was windy enough to be "challenging" and actually got some pretty good footage (even if by accident)
Shot at 720P 60 resolution then rendered as HD 1080P 60 wmv for upload

Just to give an idea of how windy it was, here's my Hobby King Vampire. Check out the "Harrier" landing.

Got my new Sbach 3D
This as3x thing for planes is a little over rated for me...

[bill34207]
