$510 for a painted fuselage is still a steal. A TDV fuselage (unpainted?) is $775 when available. Even a "mass-production" Goblin Speed canopy is $138.

I would like the canopy makers to produce a full aerodynamic fuselage as an option to make speed trials more available. With the tailboom trends; it might just happen.

Actually, the S's fuse is not painted. It has a colored gel coat, and at €495, that's roughly $660. The TDV is unpainted but it's also carbon fiber. With decals applied, it's more like $840. They are different animals, just like the two helis themselves.

Is it CF?? I never knew.

How do they deal with the rx being inside the fuse?

I have taken the 2 antenna's of the Futaba S bus receiver to the outside with the 2 tubes as forseen with the original kit.

Obviously a GPS inside the fuse doesn't work

I just spoke with Paul who has one and he said that he too pokes out the top like Jan does in the TDR manual or something.

Also when they mount the canopy its magnetic!

I like that idea

I have posted the set up plus some pics of my TDV on HF but somehow I can't trace these anymore

Do you use ec5 on all speed machines?

Yes however I plan to change to 6mm bullets over the winter.

Never had an issue with EC5's as I can solder properly lol

All my helis run on EC5's....never had a problem - that is a myth and started with guys that cant solder IMO

[craigdieselmac]

EC5's all the way here too.. No problems

I agree but I have a load of 6mm bullets here and the plan is to change them

But I have to say like you, never had issues with EC5's but 6mm's will just be that much better.

Ive ordered a pile of castle 6.5mm polarised connectors so now ill charge as 7 and 6s to get quick charge rates as oppossed to 12/14s

[smsodhi]

I put the castle connectors on the ESC to Battery harness connection. Very nice connectors.
I have also decided to replace the Kosmik esc to battery wires and connectors and the battery harness every 8-12 months as a precaution. The wires can wear and break, as I have experienced, as well as a bad solder joint.

Not been flying much at all lately

Did have 8 flights on Tuesday but that was with the Mostro. Don't know when I going out next either? But when I do its with this badass!!!!!!

[jamin_00]

Going up for sale.

Selling most off and slowing down on flying.

[Raptorapture]

Wow, that was fast. Sorry to hear that. I had a momentary pause, just for a moment!
Hope you are back enjoying flying with regularity soon.

[craigdieselmac]

Wow! Is that 3 of the 50 now that have changed hands in less than a year since the first was shipped?!? Mine is going to sit for a year.. But she will never be sold! Sorry you had to scale down! Hope everything is ok!
