My Piccolo Pictures. The story is, I bough this online and it took a couple of weeks for me to unpack it and take a look at it. It turns out it had been damaged in shipping. It had also been crashed and repaired (nasty repair job, but repaired none the less. I could have gone to the postal office (it was shipped with insurance) but I figured it was more trouble then it's worth. A few weeks later I tally up the parts and realize there is about $100 in damage... should have hasseled with the post office. I've decided to fix this and play with it. Due to time constraints, I have sent it to custommircos.com to have them fix it up. I will probably upgrade to the metal head and 3d blades. This will be decided once a tally of all the parts NEEDED come in. After that it'll be upgrades.

Shocking as this will be to some... I'm selling one of the Freya's. This is video of this Freya on 11-02. Don't judge the pilot. The point is the machine runs good... Even in 20 MPH winds. Mullbery_11-02-2003_First_Piro_flips_and_Chaos.zip

Unfortunately the guy filming was more interested in looking then filming. The bearings in the tail hub were rough enough to tire out the tail servo on the 601. This was a TDG tail hub that had no space for thrust bearings. My first instinct? Get it away from the Supra. My next instinct was get it away from the neighbors. My next move... hit throttle hold. My last and best instinct? Don't fly in the neighborhood! The tail servo stopped working due to it being overloaded by bad bearings in the TDG tail hub I was using. At no point did it touch the car. When the tail went my first instinct was to get it away from the car. It was heading towards my neighbors house and lucky me managed to send it towards mine where I decided to let it go in. Below is short video clip of the tail locking up. Unfortunately the guy taking the video wanted to watch more then tape it so I only have the part where the tail lets go and I gave it collective to get it away from the car.

I was still experimenting with the night setup and used red glowire. It did not go well with the red rotor disk. I simply lost orientation. this was probably sometime in May or June.
