Great video, Micah!

Great to see everyone at the field today... Glad we enjoyed spring before winter tomorrow

@Nader: good to see you. Awesome that you finally found your way back to the field. Certainly hope that you will be able to join us at the field on a regular basis.

Thanks for the kind words. This is one of those personal video cameras without a eyesight. The one I strap to the helis lol!

Have fun while it last!

Some of you (Dennis C, Chet a while back) asked me where I got the clear shrink tube to make my old Turnigy batteries look pretty again.

The web site is www.all-battery.com. Look for part # 80125.

@Nader: here is how I set up my auto bailout on the DX8. If you are not comfortable doing these on your own, we can do this together next time we meet at the flying field.

In this setup:
- Switch F-mode is flight mode.
- Switch Hold is throttle hold.
- Switch Gear is Bailout mode with motor idling.
I do not use bank switching.

DX8 Setup:
- System menu switch select: Mix = AUX3, inhibit on others
- System menu flight mode setup: F-Mode = F Mode, Hold = Mix
- Throttle curves: as your regular curves for Normal, FM1 and FM2.
- Mix1: AUX3 > THR. Rate = 0%/X% and Offset: 100%, where X% is your bailout value (from 5% to 45%, Mine is 30%). Chose: N12HM.

After you have done this, you need to adjust the throttle travel on the DX8 so that it gets back to -100, +100 in the V-Bar PC software. If you do not do this, you will not get the motor idling during autorotation bail out.

You also need the proper settings in the Gov II tab of the V-Bar PC software: check/enable both the "Autorotation bailout mode" and "Idle during bailout" options.

This setup also allows me to have flat throttle curves for Normal, FM1 and FM2 (makes all three flight modes fully usable for inverted flying). The ESC arms if the throttle hold switch if on. The motor spools up as soon as the throttle hold switch is off.

I you try on your own, make sure to remove main and tail blades and test your setup copiously on the bench to verify that it works fully and as expected.

Do not hesitate if you have any questions.

Hey fellas. Had another awesome day hanging out with all of you again. Cant say how much fun I had and how great all of you are. Nicest bunch of guys around and again im super pumped to be a part of the group. Until nextime haha. Chris

just put in an order for an Alees Rush 750! Anybody else around here fly one?

Hey Chad.
No Alees' around that I know of.
It'll be great to have another new one to check out...we are getting quite a diverse assortment of helis lately.

Jim Swink I am very appreciative of all the help on the HC3SX.

I'm certainly glad I made it out today.
Looks like it's going to be a great year at Minor Park.

I second that! I actually got that "I want to get out and fly feeling" I didn't have that all last year.

Have fun while it last!

I have to apologize to Nader! for posting that first video Noder. I know were you come from it is pronounced Noder, but spelled Nader and now I see why you have come to accept it either way! Hats off to you. I get so pissed when someone calls me mika or micala.

Have fun while it last!

I miss flying with you guys and I miss flying my heli i'll be back on Monday the 17th

I am going to get my 600 set up tomorrow night and bring it out on Tuesday. Tired of issues with the Assault.

Chet - It is a sweet heli. A guy back home is a team pilot and he talked me into getting one. It will be my first quality bird which I am excited about. Hearing the TDR's and Logos and how quiet they are have made me realize how crappy my birds are. No More!

Sorry, Chad!

This hobby gets very expensive once you come to that realization.

Great to see everybody on Saturday! Especially nice to see Nader. Nader is probably the best flyer I've seen here in the Kc area in awhile. And he does it all right on the deck. Awesome.

Yes, it was good to see plenty of guys at the field on Saturday! It was a nice day, even though my heli decided to lay down in the grass.

Micah, thanks for the videos! Pretty good for not having a viewfinder!

I'm glad that you new guys are having a great time too! We are happy to have you join us and be a part of this exciting hobby! HELIS ROCK!

~=S=~

Thanks! I did the invisible view finder. I kept both eyes open. One on the screen and the other on Naders heli lol!

I have spare 500 parts if you need anything Darren. I have some Align CF tail blades.

Have fun while it last!

Thank you everyone for the kind words
Thanks Micha for the nice videos
Thanks a lot Pascal for the setup info
Dennis Thank you for helping me setup the Heli
Great atmosphere awesome friends

So are you going to misspell my name for however many I misspell yours lol! Micah. It's justified

Have fun while it last!
