Mikado Winter Weekend: Logo 700 Xxtreme flown by Michael Wisbacher

I’ve seen many fab heli clips, but this video is very nicely shot indeed so I’ve posted it here to show the uneducated what 3D Heli flying is all about.

Trex 450 Pro 3gx - My first ever RC Helicopter build is finally complete.

It’s taken several months (2 months just interpreting the Chinglish user manual) to complete, several hundered pounds of equipment, alot of threadlock, alot of research, detailed mechanical & electrical setup, firmware updates and many downloads to get to this point, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

All I need to do now is wait for the weather to clear up so I can take her out and test fly her with a Maiden Flight, the moment of truth. Fingers crossed that I didn’t make a silly setup error that causes her to crash and burn on her first ever flight.

Onwards and hopefully Upwards…

If you are interested in the geeky technical side of things, here is the complete setup & specs I am using:

- Align Trex 450 Pro V2 3GX Super Combo Kit

- 3GX Flybarless System running latest Firmware Version 3.0 (with bluetooth capability)

- 450MX Brushless motor (3400KV)

- RCE-BL35X 35A Brushless ESC

- DS410M x 2, DS520 Digital servos

- Length: 635mm, Height: 230mm, Main Rotor Diameter: 710mm

- Flying Weight: Approx. 640g

- Spektrum DX8, 8 Channel Transmitter with full Telemetry

- Spektrum AR8000, 8 Channel Receiver + Satellite, Flight log and Telemetry compatible at 11 Millisecond Frame Rate

- TM1000 DSMX Full Range Aircraft real time Telemetry Module

- 1 x Totally Addicted Noob Pilot

Just incase you’re not actually watching Fringe, you may have missed this really cool moment when Walter, on another Acid trip has a little Monty Python moment and it made me smile :)

I’m going to miss this show.

3D Championships 2012 - Countdown Clock:

3D RC Helicopter Championships 2012 in Tewkesbury, UK
Sunday 30/09/12

My highlight routine of the day was Stu Smith who came in 3rd, his Countdown Clock ending to the routine was class.
As you can see, it was a bit windy to say the least making this even more challenging.
Congrats to Stuart Mott (1st) & Duncan Osborne (2nd)

If you have no idea about 3D Heli stunt flying, believe me when I say this is an awesome and very difficult stunt to do. The fast shit is relatively easy, it’s the slow accurate and imaginative moves in high winds that deserve recognition.

Never Forget.

RC Heli Flying at Wisley Disused Airfield in Surrey.

Had a great time, pretty much had the whole airfield to myself.

Equipment:

- Blade 130x RC Helicopter

- DX8 Transmitter

- 808 #18 HD KeyCam

Built in 1944, the Wisley Airfield was built for the flight testing of aircraft built at Vickers aircraft factory at the nearby Brooklands during WWII, it closed in 1972.

Filming of the Steven Spielberg film War Horse began at the airfield in October 2010.

Now it is a disused airfield and perfect for almost any RC Enthusiast.
