yeah man I fell/jumped off a roof the other day.

I stood on some ice that was on the roof, couldnt see it, slipped then thought sh!t this could get ugly so I may as well jump, went down with a 5mtr sheet of iron and everything

landed on soft grass tho so back up the ladder and into it again

Geeez and i wonder why i pay 6 grand a year ACC.

As far as 90's go im might stick with my 90se for a little while until im sure all the bugs are gone (all new helis have bugs in my experience) I got all the 90 3d head parts last week so that should make it a bit livelier. Might put it on a diet too.

Hi Glenn so far I havent had anything bearings fail on the T-Rex 700, it is hard to say if the bearings are any better than the ones on the 600 or not, but with a 12mm mainshaft they are big enough to take a pounding. Good think is there is only one option so that makes the decision easier it is a bit of an all or all type of thing.
If you can wait there is a mean combo version coming soon with a rebranded OS91 engine, it will be very good value for money, no date yet for the release of the combo version.

Guys I have started listing all my heli stuff here as it's a free site just run by donation if wanted.

So I have been able to take a bit off my prices as the trademe fees are reduced. Not all though as I intend to make a donation to help the guy run the site.

Help me save up for a new radio and the trex 700N....oh and a gasser...and I'd really like a turbine..and a jet....and some 8717 servo's. I have a wife for sale if you can handle being heckled and yelled at. Cheap. Cooks cleans and bitches. But it's ok...shes sitting right here

Your gunna be happy with the 700 mate. I always felt that 90s where slow compared to the 600N, not this one though

Even with a rich engine it outperforms the 600N in both climb out and collective pop

Looking forward to seeing your first scale attempt

Cheers...Should be awesome. I am impressing myself already but thats not hard to do. All I have to do is spell my name correctly and I am impressed. After all....the bloody thing is almost done and all I have to do is bolt it together...LOL. Although I am putting lights in it which should look cool.

There is a few guys doing it now because these fuses are so ready and accessible to all. (when you can get them) They look good and seem to function well. I think we will see lots more.

Good news about the 700N thanks for that Jonny.

I should let you fly my vibe next we catch up with a run in motor still a YS but the long stroke it has even more pop than the my YS ST that you flew in kevins 700. I should have it set up on the new radio & the solid G by the time i see you. I reckon kevins 700 could be better with some V blades or Radix the blades he had were awesome for hovering but seem to load up really easy during big aeros similar to SAB blades.

The blades were UNI-CARB same as RJX blades, they auto well but the Radix are a little quicker on the cyclic and auto at least as good or better, I havent had a chance to do many flights with the Radix yet. Will have to try the 690 Radix next and see how they go.
Align have two 690 blades but they are not much cheaper than the Radix, dont know if anyone on the planet has tried them yet.

The YS did run smooth, hope the OS is the same

YS guys are all homo's. (whoops did I say that or was I just thinking it?)
Actually I have been drinking wine so forgive me. I am actually thinking about giving the Ys's a go Based on Waynes recommendation.

I have an OS 91 sz-h and bugger me if I dont read that the PS version still stands for piece of $hit! Awww...why do I always buy the wrong stuff. Well I think i will either try the PS or sell it and buy a YS. Maybe OS can get their $hit together and make a good pumped system. I understand a dossifier mod will help the midrange mixture and make the ps version go well.

And now a shameless bump.

Go YS...go YS yeah baby

Got a YS SR sitting in the cupboard that came from Cyberheli a couple of weeks back - complete with a free hatori muffler

. Mind you the engine did cost a bit more than other places to get such a good deal.

Now I just gotta make a "wheel of fortune", spin it and see if T-rex700 or RJX90 comes up

Hey Wayne might have to take you up on that offer

I have heard A LOT of good things about the new YS long stroke, and the solid G for that matter. Theres a few guys on RR here swapping their Spartans for solid Gs so I'll have to have a try of one.
It will be nice to compare the 700N against a well established quality machine such as the Vibe

let the challenge begin, will the JR measure up to it's name or be exposed as hype from JR fan the world over?

oh I am so confused...Mind you thats pretty easy.

So many products with each person harping on about their purchases and how awesome they are. How about we put a spin on it and talk about the crap we have bought? Concept dx 30, JR venture, os 50 non hyper, G410T, csm 4 something, first version align muffler, GCT blades, woodies (you know what sort) I could go on but I gotta go sleep....concreting tomorrow...uh today.

You all know it has to be OS, JR radios, Hirobo or align, Revmax dont ya?
