B@@MER · 08-05-2012, 08:37 PM

Yupp that's the one I wish they did the orange one but that one works too.
Test flight tomorrow night hopefully.

Dennis P · 08-06-2012, 07:48 PM

Hope you fellows get airborn soon.The more I fly mine the more I like it.A fellow called the other day,He wanted to come over when we could go out and fly (he lives about 1.5hrs away).He has a couple other heli's but wanted to see the E640 fly.We went out and made a couple flights followed by Him coming back to shop and buying a E640 and gear.He was grinning ear to ear after watching it fly.They are a great heli that runs smooth and seems to be standing up great.Looking forward to hearing about your first flights. Take care

Going to be testing out the Hacker A50-10L Turnado shortly as they have arrived.Tight fit but I will let you know how it fit's and works.

Great Dennis, I would be very interested to see how it turned out.

im thinking of pulling my 700mx 530kv and replacing it with the scorpion 4035-560kv..

B@@MER · 08-13-2012, 11:54 AM

hope to head out today with motorotor and my e640 on 8s and 10s for setting up its my first flybarless so we shall see how it goes

B@@MER · 08-13-2012, 09:45 PM

4 flights today
1st on 8s to check setup etc. and this is my first FB heli and flight. All good but hs a tad over 1500 a bit slow.

2/3/4 on 10s, well hello my little friend this heli rocks I can only imagine what it's like on 12s

Houston w have a winner !
Thanks MR for the assistance and spare packs. Now I gotta get more.

Pics to follow

Dennis P · 08-13-2012, 11:16 PM

That is great to hear Boomer

It just seems to keep getting better with time .This has been the most trouble free heli heli i have had to date.Just charge a pack and fly day after day.What did you think of FBL so far? I sure do like my Skookum .

B@@MER · 08-13-2012, 11:29 PM

It was a bit weird at first but the fingers got acquainted with it and we adapted, I gotta say I was a bit weirded out by plugging a heli into a laptop to setup but I used the basic 3d setup from skookum and it was great. I brought the laptop to dial it in but never turned it on

And the might hacker 77 was performing fine.

Dennis P · 08-15-2012, 06:41 PM

Here are some actual pictures of the new canopy's.I did not mount one as they are the stores and I am running a N640 canopy presently .A new canopy when not needed seems to bring on a crash for myself !! It is very bright and a nice looking canopy.I would have to change the trim tape on my tail fin though.

B@@MER · 08-15-2012, 10:05 PM

Looks just like mine.

they are bright.

B@@MER · 08-17-2012, 04:53 PM

Dennis do your Spyder packs both fit on batt tray? What are there dimensions. I have a cpl pulse 5s 4200 packs and they are long so only one fits on Tray and other underneath on the skid plate.

Karl is yours ready yet I'm gonna head out to ridge this weekend with mine.

Thx

Dennis P · 08-17-2012, 05:30 PM

Hello Kevin ,as for the Spyder packs they fit really well on the tray.I have 3 tray's and 3 set's of packs so I never remove them from the tray's.I bring my wires out the side of the frames to my series harness and plug them in.I have a EC5 up frt that takes the spark of connecting to the esc.I have been very happy with these packs. Take care

B@@MER · 08-17-2012, 05:59 PM

You have mail again

karl k · 08-18-2012, 08:26 AM

Mine is ready now, but wont be able to fly it this weekend. Life has got in the way.

Hopefully next weekend I'll have the time.

B@@MER · 08-18-2012, 10:01 AM

Ok keep me posted I'll come out and give you a hand if ya like.

distructor · 08-18-2012, 02:54 PM

After playing around with a couple of low end FBL controllers

, I finally got the BeastX installed. Now its very locked-in, stable, and at the same time responsive. This helicopter flies great. Completely above the B450x.

Through this whole experiences, I've re-learned a lesson: Sticking with quality components will save you money.

B@@MER · 08-18-2012, 03:14 PM

yes indeed , here is a pic of my machine with new colours should be way easier to see
motorotor is at ircha so he loaned me some packs

i cut in a pseudo grill in the nose to aid in esc cooling as well

B@@MER · 08-22-2012, 10:08 PM

Couple more trouble free flights tonight waiting on a few packs from Dennis

I run a 2s a123 up in the nose under the esc so they may not fit on the tray but I may move the a123 pack to help out.

This heli is a keeper

karl k · 08-26-2012, 05:44 PM

I did the maiden flight yesterday on my E640. What an amazing machine! Everything just worked perfect out of the box. I had to reduce the tail gain just a little, but other than that, it's perfect.

What really impressed me is the lack of sound from the heli. Without barking the blades, I would say it's not much louder than my Blade 450.

B@@MER · 08-26-2012, 08:03 PM

yupp its a keeper i got a cpl more flights on mine today at a funfly and some people were impressed with what it can do

my only complaint and its not a big deal is that the packs i have i cant fit both on tray so i put one underneath, it works good that way though
