Still Alive

Big Tonka · 04-07-2012, 04:27 PM

Hi Everyone
Just a quick post to say I am still alive, I have been out of action for a while with a slipped disk but back on the road to recovery.
Just a quick video of something the wife bought me for my birthday great fun and even more so with a keycam mounted to it.

WOW! Can you say slice and dice? Better keep that thing away from the cat Hee Hee! Glad to hear your doing better. I had a compress disc in my back. Not fun.

Big Tonka · 04-08-2012, 06:52 AM

Hi Wanderer56
yeah it can make your eyes water both the bak pain and if you get too close to the mQx.

Impressed! Nice control and no blanket draped over the TV so you must be confident with its stability.

Big Tonka · 04-08-2012, 01:24 PM

The mqx flew like that straight out of the box, just a little expo on the Tx.

exblade · 04-08-2012, 06:36 PM

Hey Big T. Glad you are recovering! Cool Quad.

Good flying with that mQx !
I love that Cam, it looked clear to me.

Big Tonka · 04-10-2012, 03:33 PM

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone and like Chris said it is nice to be able to do up my own shoes.
Ladian the camera is an 808#16 from China this has the second lense in as the first on I stuffed into the sand at about -5g on the leading edge of a 3m powerkite, have a look.

Hey BT - sorry to hear about the disc trouble, but glad you are on the road to recovery mate. Must get one of those cameras organised - I have a Multiplex Twinstar now as well (I know - Judas!) and they are ideal platforms for that sort of thing. Well, wxcept when I stuff them into the ground trying to do helicopter stall turns

Whoops!!

Isn't it grand being OxD and having a back problem, sure takes a lot longer to heal now than when we were young, heres hoping the recovery keeps on getting better, try not to do it again Big "T" and yea nice vid-------Fly Tight--------Wrench

Hey Tonka......

Your little mQx looked fun,So i ordered one yesterday, lol. This is something i can putz around in the back yard with.

Much cheaper than the T-Rex 550 FBL i was eyeing !!

Big Tonka · 04-14-2012, 03:10 AM

Hi Ladian
There are 2 modes to fly X mode and + X mode is faster and more twitchy and + mode more slow and stable with the camera on untill You master it.
All I did was add +15 on my expo just to calm it down a little untill I got used to it, keep us all posted on what you think.

abbywed · 04-14-2012, 10:36 PM

Glad to see you are OK and on the mend. I too have been off HF for some time due to a busy life.

Nice flying with the drone ! I want one but I'm still working on my HK450's.

The king 300 is flying well and gets a good bit of fly-time each evening.

Keep flying to take the mind off the pain Big T. Good luck Mate.

Big Tonka · 04-15-2012, 03:16 AM

I have found that I haven't had the time or the weather to fly my K2 or my 450 over the past year but the nice thing with the mqx is that I can tak it away on business with me and fly in the hotel room.

Ladian · 04-15-2012, 06:07 PM

I just ordered the 808 #16 today. Horizon has the mQx on backorder, so we'll see how long it takes to get everything.

I've already have my DX8 profile setup with a little expo, and have been playing on the only quad in Phoenix. So this should be a fun little toy. I've always wanted to do a aerial view of my house from the air :-).
