Well pleased with the x50. Spooled it up and it gently lifted off in strong wind and just sat there as stable as anything. Really impressed with the heli. Started raining very hard so had to pack up quickly but cannot wait to fly it again.

Cheers

That rain sounds like my luck. LOL! Glad you like it.

Congrats on the maiden. Can't wait to take mine out tomorrow!

jph140 · 03-15-2013, 06:16 PM

The weather was awful with high wids and rain, between showers I took it out and even in the strong winds it didn't budge an inch. Not much tweaking to do so just need to charge up and fly.

Best build that I've done to date :-) superb kit and cannot believe this isn't more popular :-)

jph140 · 03-15-2013, 06:17 PM

Batteries charging already for next flight :-) weather permitting :-)

Sweet!!

Really enjoying mine. Really wrenching on it and it seems to take a beating. Hoping to find a better canopy scheme, but the stock green is growing on me. ;-)

jph140 · 03-16-2013, 02:09 AM

I really like the green, just something a bit different. I like the red though :-)

I like my canopies canary yellow or close. I can see the heli orientation better on cloudy overcast and dusk and dawn situations.

Going to go for the red canopy as well :-) living in England can sympathise with cloudy skies, had snow here again today roll on summer

Cheers

I'm definitely ready for warmer weather. I'm ready to get out there in shorts and fly again with some calm days. Wind can be fun but it can also be a bit of a pain. It has been windy here for months.

I'm thinking about getting the X50E (green) for my nitro version.
I now have a orange & blue. I like the green myself...

Any one know where you can get a green canopy? The part number is a PV1431-G. I can't seem to find one.
