Hi Bob,

Does anyone of your videos cover Fan / Clutch runout measure ment and alignment?

Finless · 09-27-2006, 09:05 AM

No, I dont have any vids on nitros sorry....

Bob

asong26 · 09-27-2006, 09:52 AM

Any plans?

Finless · 09-27-2006, 10:04 AM

Not until I get a new nitro to build which could be a while as I dont have any plans right now.

Finless,

Can we have a video on how to setup and use the TP1010 and TP210 to charge the Align 6s packs. I have this system on order and I hear the instruction manual is terrible!

Cheers

Finless · 10-01-2006, 07:16 AM

I am in the middle of shooting a vid for the Century Swift but after that yea I can do a vid on that.

Bob

flymo · 10-01-2006, 04:38 PM

Will look forward to it!

Cheers

this guy is great for us newbees can you make a trex 450xl ccpm build vid? it would help so much thanks

tminustom · 10-05-2006, 07:21 PM

Finless, I was wondering, are those Scott or Brawny paper towels under your video projects?

Keep up the great work Bob, its appreciated!

Finless · 10-05-2006, 08:12 PM

Too funny!!!!

Yea something like that... I needed a white background that did not reflect light back to the camera. Best thing I could come up with

tminustom · 10-05-2006, 10:02 PM

Sorry Bob, I couldn't resist, I can tell by your video's that you're a perfectionist as myself. I'm just as guilty too, I'm on the Bounty paper towel makers delivery list!

I need to have a white background to work with parts (small), it makes them easier to see and keep them clean, and yes, the white background for your video camera! Being in the electronics business, I'm constantly spraying down electronics boards and cleaning surfaces with alcohol and paper towels!

Keep a close eye on his videos! You can learn a lot!

Hey threre finless!
This maybe abit out there but as a newbie i was thinking of either a esky belt cp or the new thunder tiger mini titan the belt cp is cheaper £124 with servos motor esc and gyro but the titan more money but has a lager rotor disk and a have heard that this can make the heli more stable and better to fly.
What do you think finless bob? you seem to know your stuff.

Finless · 12-16-2006, 10:29 AM

I have never flown either at this point. All the Esky's I have seen have been junkie and I have no desire for owning one of those. The Titan is probably a better heli but until I get my hands on one I really cant say for certain.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the video on the Skyvolt/BalancePro charger-and all the others too! Can you advice on the Lipo that's had the best cycle life in your experience. I've had 5 out of 7 10s packs fail and am looking for one that'll do what it says!

Thanks in advance.

Leland

Finless · 12-17-2006, 01:27 AM

Darn... well I am still building my first Heli (Logo 14) that will be using 10S packs so I dont have a lot of experience with 10S. All I can say is Flight Power has been very good with all my other packs. Will James here is Team Captain and he stands behind flight power and provides excellent customer support. I dont think you can go wrong with them.

Bob

LLC · 12-17-2006, 02:56 AM

I would agree their service is good as they are quick to offer to replace packs. But I don't know of any that lasted more than 90 cycles. My packs only made between 53 and 72 cycles although I do have another that is currently running at 80 cycles but is getting weak. Maybe in the future you can do a side by side comparison or even with & without balance charging?

BTW here's the first ad that's committing a cycle figure ( I think it's with the BalancePro system ) and, if they last that long, they'll be really cheap to run!

thanks for your veiws finless bob! nice one.

LLC · 12-17-2006, 04:57 PM

Bob, Thanks for the reply. How I wished my packs are as good as yours but how many cycles do you average on a pack and how many are repaired? This is the kind of info I'm looking at before committing to more packs. My own experience as a private, club flyer, are:- seven 10S, eight 3s and four 5s packs so far and the most stand at 80 cycles and it's not FP or TP!

Raptor44 · 12-19-2006, 05:52 PM

How about a Raptor 50 build video? That would be great.. :mrgreen:
