Can you have to much fun?

Yes.
This afternoon we went flying and I flew that much. My battary went flat . 8 flights or more without charging maybe abit to much my throttle went to tickover I thought it was my new radio gear, but after dad cheecked the lipo it was obvious what had happen. I think you can guess.

After finding that the voltage had dropped to 4.9V (woops) The radio system had cut the throttle to tickover thank god for that.

I hope it will never happen again .

P.S. Another guy did something and the screw came out. Not good at all.
Although the day has been good.

I am thinking of purchasing a T-Rex 600. This will be my first model of note. Is it worth purchasing from overseas? For example the following model on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250257795774

Is from a power seller with good feedback and for £290 supplies what looks to me like a good kit complete with motor, esc, batteries etc... Looks like about £400-£500 if purchased in the UK.

I am concerned however that the extras supplied will be of poor quality and will need replacing/upgrading almost imediately, what do people think?

Secondly, does any one know what the import duty will be like on this, is it going to be so high as to negate the savings?

I purchased the LHC R22 V1 body kit direct from LHC as a cheap way to create a semi scale Helicopter, the kit arrived without instructions, video,or decal set. Have tried to get help from LHC but they are not rsponding to my request.
Any help would be welcome,the helicopter I wish to fit it to is the standard Shuttle + 2

Thinking of making my 600pro flybarless. Anybody carried out this mod on an align 600, if so what mods did you make to the head and was it worth the effort.

There is a new canopy for the Trex 600N, created by Trevor Burley, for the Phoenix simulator.
It is found on the Trex tuning site and the link they provide is below.
Link to Canopy here
They also have the red Lightning version to down load and it's all for free!!

Here is a screen shot on our simulator at home.. Looks good eh

hi all just a quick note . made some aliuminium tail fins based on the fitted ones but slightly longer ,and they
don't break . Really good for you people on geared tails ,try and keep the side walls thicker though
keeps it solid with little weight

Thinking of changing the main bearing in my ys.
Do i need to buy any gaskets as well as the bearing .
Also whats the best method for the swop
