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

[Diesel6401]

Diesel, I know you want one of these. For a $120 "plug n fly" complete with electric retracts, it's hard to beat.
Maidened mine today. Vid is the 2nd flight I greased the landing on the maiden (after finally getting it airborne) so of course had to bounce the one caugt on video.

That quad looks really cool Bill. I thought about building one. Right now I've been screwing with gyro and stability systems on planes.

Here's my 800mm T28 with a 3-axis i86ap stability system from HK



Here's my E-Flite mini pulse xt w/ a heli gyro on the rudder.

Hi guys, just a heads up on the x300 it does have a problem and its a biggy they are breaking mainshafts, other than that its working great, my friend has one and loves it but has broken 2 mainshafts, the first was after a crash, the second om normal flight about 6inches off the ground.
To another matter I have a align 450 pro v2 3gx I would like to sell, the bird has flown no more than 12 times, it has 2 sat receivers and a castle 50amp phoenix ice esc, and the metal tail servo mount, the reason it has a different esc is I do not like align esc's. I would like in the region of $400 posted.

any pictures of the 450?

I know a shop that sells the 300x for only $300 and thought about that heli, but broken mainshafts does not sound like a good thing...

Hi right now I don't have any pics of the 450, I will get some taken and try to post them for you, if I can remember how to post them. If you are interested maybe I can email them to you direct ?,let me know.

Tried my hand at shooting video of some planes from an aerial platform today. (GoPro on my quad but no FPV feed) If you go full screen on a big monitor you can see him once and a while.
There is some good footage of where I fly though. SRQ is a nice facility.

Tried one with a HobbyPartz "dice cam" too. I like it's narrower field of view (120* compared to 170* on the GoPro) but the video quality sucks in comparison.

The Wookong M is the "Cadillac" of flight controls for sure. Really pricey though. I plan to add the GPS upgrade to the Naza in to mine sometimes soon.

DJI makes some awesome goodies for quads. Bangood has a lot of quad goods.

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.
