Heli-cuzz and Team222badbrad Fun Fly

[team222badbrad]

Today Heli-Cuzz and I met at the Skyhaven Airport for some flying.

Unfortunately we got rained out after about 1 hour of flying.

Cuzz flew is Caliber 5 twice.

I flew my Hirobo Evo .30 for 1/2 tank.

I also flew my Hangar 9 Twist 40 PNP and gave Cuzz a chance at it too.

We also both flew my $12 Airhogs Storm Launcher.

We also made a video on how to start a helicopter.

I will post some vids soon

Here is Heli-cuzz flying:

I'm not sure where his helicopter is in this picture, but he flys too fast and my camera is too slow. :(

love that blade strobe effect, looks like it's doing about 5 rpm

Wish I'd known, I could have joined you, only an hour or so from me. :D

[schwa]

LoL @ the title. :cool:
That was a fun fly. :D Brad gave me the chance to fly his lobster looking of a don't know what to call it. LoL The twist was fun, a little squirrelly but fun, its a floater. :cool:
The first tank in my C-5 was tuned sweet. During the vid{2ndtank} a rain shower blew in, the humidity and temp changed and my engine went from running sweet to blaahhh, all in a matter of minutes.

Anytime, vapo. There's a lot of open area where you are. I always wanted to fly an endless field. :D

Well here are some pictures of Heli-cuzz and Team222badbrad Fun Fly 2

Cuzz showed an awesome performance as seen in the pics.

I flew one tank

I deadsticked my plane and snapped the front landing gear off AGAIN!

I flew my new AXE CP one pack.

BOTH of our starters fell apart!

Not sure why but the nut that holds the aluminum hub onto the motor shaft came loose for the first time for both of us on the same DAY! :eek:

We both BAKED in the sun!

[heli-cuzz]

That was a lot of fun, brad. It was just to damn hot outside.
LoL @ our starters crapping out on us. I loctited mine last nite.
This field we flew at was the 1st place I learned to fly.

Brad has progressed greatly since the last time I watched him fly. He still had me a bit nervous. He asked me if he should try a FF circuit with the hirobo and I told him to bring it out a little further. Needless to say, by the end of his quick circuit, I was in the which way do I jump stance :eek: . Good save, brad :D

[team222badbrad]

Yup I whipped out the blue loctite, poured it on that stupid nut, and cranked it down with a socket!

I did do some investigation last night about that noise.

I think it could be a bearing, the belt, or the main gear.

I also played around with my tracking a bit.

I noticed that it stopped making that noise for a short period of time.

That DQ ice cream cone sure felt good and the AC on full blast the whole way home!

Yup I sure saved that one.

I blame my eyesight on that one :D I got glasses in the 8th grade, wore them for a week, and never put them on again. BTW I am also colorblind to red and green. Officer I'm sorry I went through a red light. LOL

Great photos Brad, you guys obviously had a great time, shame about the starters, but it sounds like you got a few flights in anyway, :)
Cheers Ralph

Starter is fixed and I flew at my club field today.

Everything is in check. It was still hot today. Another thing... shhhhhh, don't tell anyone, I fixed my broken fixed wing plane.

[heli-cuzz]

Brad stopped by my house and we adjusted the tracking on his hiorbo. :) Vibration is gone. :cool:
