Welcome Bob... I'm waiting for my T-Rex XL via post as I write... Looking forward to using all the help I can get.

HI BOB great to see you on here. I have been a BIG fan of your videos and am always trying to learn more thanks man for all the great info......

VonRecktofen · 05-14-2006, 10:32 AM

Hey Finless!
I almost had a heart attack the other day when I went to the usual link to find the videos and they weren't there....Anyway, sorry you got booted butI'm glad that you landed somewhere...Your set-ups are really making this entry into the hobby easy....I crashed my new 'Rex last week, took out the tail boom, main mast shaft, and the top mountings of my 9650 tail servo...Re built it and switched the tail servo to the other side of the boom and because of your set-up video, was able to diagnose and fix a case of the tail spins on my own (the gyro needed to be reversed when the servo is on the other side of the tail boom)...Now that I'm getting the hang of the Trex, what would you suggest for my next bigger bird...I would like to stay electric...Was thinking about Rappy 50 electric conversion or new Trex600...Which would you suggest and why?
Once again, thanks for your dedication to education!

Hi Bob
Great to see your name come up again .
Could not find it on the other site . All that is going on over there is bitching .
Poor old Willy will be bored now because he is going to be wright now all the time and has no one to argue with .

I moved over here because I want to learn about setups and things .
LET'S BUILD this forum to make it No 1

Thanks mate and keep up the great work you are doing .

Regards

Just found out that HeliFreak is an illegal word to use on the other site.
Just trying to get some more people over that are looking for your Vids.

Bob,

Made the move when Rick (rdlohr) PM'd and said you left. Sure glad you found such a great forum to continue your teaching. Because of you I have now finished my third T-Rex (started all this in December '05) and each one flies perfect, which has contributed greatly with my learning curve. I have now started basic 3D flight and certainly would have not been this far if you had not helped me on numerous occasions and had not had the videos for reference. I went to RR the other day to refer to one of your videos and went into panic mode

when I found they were no longer there. This time I will be downloading and burning them to CD...they are just too valuable to loose again! Anyway, glad your here and look forward to talking with you in the near future. Sincere thanks!

John, thanks for taking the time to say thanks! I am Sooooo glad I could help you as that is what I get a kick out of! honestly!
I love hearing good news stories like yours...... As always feel free to ask questions and I will be as active on the Trex forum here on Helifreak as I was on RR. i just got to catch up to where I was with videos first.... So everyone hang tight I will be back at 100%...... A few more days and I should be there

Bob

LITHIUMSTATIC · 05-16-2006, 12:47 AM

Finless you are my hero!!!!

Helliboy · 05-16-2006, 04:13 AM

Finless,

I presume it looks rather silly to welcome a member, who joined earlier than me...but anyway...Welcome Bob!!!! I've just started my heli experience and yr vids and posts are the best guide I've managed to get. So this site gonna be my home too.
By the way how abt yr gallery? As far as I remember there were a lot of useful info and photos (they disappeared as well on the RR)...Are you going to restore it here?

Migrating Helliboy...

Hi Bob I know this might be asking allot right now, but sometime down the road would you consider a video on JR radio set-up?

YES! There is a local guy to me that offered to bring over a JR radio so I will be doing that sometime in the near future.

BTW, after setting a a rex using a 9303..... All I can say is MAN! Is that an easy radio to use.......

Bob

D-REX · 05-16-2006, 10:51 AM

I haven't set it up yet, but that is nice to hear !!!

dodgey · 05-17-2006, 02:58 PM

Hey Bob! - Hiya from London - excellent videos - I now actually understand blade balancing!

It's great someone gives something to the community without 1st thinking "how can I make a buck?" (Pound in my domain

).

Good man. :glasses2:

djparvin · 05-17-2006, 03:12 PM

Hi Bob,

Although I've built a few helis I downloaded the vids and have been watching on my commute and they are an excellent resource - ccpm part 2 and curves 101 are worth a watch regardless of which heli you're setting up, I certainly learned a few things and picked up some useful tips. Only about 10 more to go

Glad you like the 9303 (PCM9X - in UK speak) I never regretted the move from futaba.

I'd like to echo 'dodgey's comments, thanks for sharing without the thought of making cash, if only more people were like this.

p.s. Never liked RR myself
