In the it's ugly but it works category, I really couldn't find a good position to mount the LED and have it be visible on the TDR, so I ended up with this. I was sticking it on the back of my battery sticks which put it in an excellent position, but repeatedly sticking and unsticking it seemed like a good way for it to come unhooked.
I imagine that there is a boom support brace that might fit back here and look a bit better than this.

Battery Breakthrough Offers 30 Times More Power
Check out this article on Mashable.
Who knows when this technology will be available & affordable for us RC folks, but the good thing is that these scientists are legit. The article author says he'll update the article/post once he hears back from the scientist(s).... Press release is here. ===== |

The problem with this kind of news is that we hear them every year and still nothing...

The Big Lebowski
I'm just curious -- how many of you guys have seen the movie "The Big Lebowski"? (It's an American film, so I'm not sure how popular [or not] it is outside of the US).
It's one of those "I don't get it" movies on the first viewing, but gets better and better the more times you see it. It's also one of the greatest "cult" films of all time. The movie came up in post #138 in the speed fuselage thread; my avatar is based on the movie's main character -- The Dude, aka Jeffrey Lebowski -- but only "Achievers" would pick up on that. Just like only true Blade Runner fans would know my screen name is an offshoot of the novel behind the movie (Blade Runner). Anyway, I'm just curious. PS> If you're not familiar with the movie and its cult following, this is a great overview. The Dude Abides. |

Yeah, it is a long time i seen that.
But my favourite movies are the ones with Jay and Silent Bob in them. And everything sci-fi, not much SF films were made in last year or two, or maybe i just did not noticed? Year 2012 was full of horror movies and i do not like that much. And also lot of animated "Toy story like" movies, some were good. Now i am doing different things then watching movies, but year ago i had a period of watching series like Big Bang, V, Fringe and of course The walking dead. Anyway, i could recommend you some. Dark Skies, new thing, sort of brought back the feeling from The X Files... And you should see both Appleseed movies, you might like that... Surprisingly, from the last 3-5 years, my favourite film is probably Iron man.

Stored energy is stored energy. Can you imagine the fireball when one goes up?!

Hi guys,
Below is a link to my build thread for my Voodoo 400. The parts quality and design is very indicative of German boutique helis. I'm guessing most you appreciate German helis. Perhaps you will enjoy this build thread. https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=545312

I dont want to make this sound bad but with my little experience with ekectric heli's and loving this speed thing i started searching for more power and speed....i stumbled across a banshee...holy moly!!! Straight away i went onto their site and placed and order because damn now that thing flies!!! But guess what, found out through the forms here at helifreak and apparently they dont make them any more!!! Damn!!!
How can i get my tdr to do the same!!! Shit i was impressed with the level of engineering!! Man do i want one!!!

Yes, the Banshee is a TDR on steriods, great speed AND for smacking around. No 24 is for sale, see Banshee thread here on HF in other helis topic!!
It is the world speed record holder, BUT with TDR head and tail mechanics???

Jan is working on a dedicated speed heli that another thread said was expected around October. So there is that. Otherwise, there is the smooth canopy and full Fuses for the TDR, bigger motors, heat resistant gears, frame reinforcements etc..

Finally I have seen a Banshee live at the Heli Masters in Venlo.
I must say I was impressed by the mechanics. Unfortunately Nico Niewind did not show any speedruns when I was there. So I can t really tell how fast it goes compared to the TDR from Olli who did perform some speedruns. Belgo |

Since we are talking about speed helis, I suspect SAB will be entering into this years IRCHA Speed Cup with the Goblin Speed Edition. I believe capable of 180+mph. We might see in this years competiton.

To reach 180mph would probably require at least a 100KW motor, blades that haven't been invented yet, and a crazy thin body etc.. etc.. I will be surprised if the Gobby can give the Banshee in full fuse atire a run for its money.

I can assure you, it doesn't go 180 mph. That speed might be achievable at the end of a long dive. For that matter a standard Banshee reached 198 mph doing that. I'll be there so I'll report. The width of the fuselage is the limiting factor, from what I've seen they haven't made it any thinner. They'll be in Unlimited class so I won't be competing against them. It will be interesting.

I must say, that Banshee really is on steroids like Vinger said, When I saw it I had to have it and now that is not possible. BUT from what was mentioned above with Jans new speed heli, I just mailed him to ask if he can put me on the list. So my plan of action is to stall building my extra kit that I have for the TDR. Honestly I dont think I will ever use it, I fly like a girl compare to most of you guys, I like to play it safe hee hee, so unless I loose signal or equipment failure like a servo gone bad I hope I will never right her off like i did with my trex 700 Nitor (What a piece of C....P if i must add).
I was seriously impressed with that Banshee, MAN!!! wow that thing looks un-destructible!! You guys (including you vinger) that own one, I'm jealous like you wont believe. I must also add, I dont know if i would have forked out 2500Euro for a kit seeing as thought it was the first and last ones to be made...heehee...Vinger you got guts my boy!!

You need the same guts to fly it!!!!! But it can be gentle as well, very light and can take monster hp, but to take it for a speed run, better get a set of new underpants ready!!!!
just for listening, 298.76kmh

I SAW THIS THING YOU POSTED IN THE BANSHEE FORM AS WELL!!!!!!!! Oh my hat!! Vinger you are such a lucky guy to have one of these heli's!! I just hope that Jan is really making another speed machine and that its not just talk. I have not had a reply but I dont think he will send a reply either.
Lets cross fingers and hope that it has 3/4 of the banshee in it!!! damn!!!!!
