Most of you that know me have had the pleasure of meeting Andrea, the love of my life at numerous fly-ins/competitons around the country. On 3/16/07 I proposed to her and she said YES!! She is the most awesome woman that I know. She is smart, beautiful, funny,excellent caller/spotter, loves going to flying events, and supports everything that I do in the hobby and in normal day to day life. I am truly blessed. I knew she was special from the time I first met her, and just a few weeks after we started dating I took her to her first fly-in..Joe Nall '05 and she loved it! I am so happy that I met this wonderful woman and now even more happy that she is going to be my wife! Hmmm.....Mrs. Andrea Pfeifer....has a nice ring to it!

3 Attachment(s) New Just Go Fly 500TH Motor for the T-rex 450
Discussion / Posted by Jeff Pfeifer / Feb 02, 2007 @ 08:11 PM / 11,284 Views / 0 Comments / Reply
Just finished doing a test flight(I could only stand one flight 15 degrees F with a windchill of 2F) on the new Just Go Fly 500TH motor in my T-Rex 450S-CF. Man this thing has some power and is the same weight as the 430l! I am currently running a 13t pinion gear on it while running the Castle Creations PHX 35 in High-Governor mode set at 75% and +/-12 degrees of pitch. I tried to bog the head speed down in flight and it wouldn't! Currently the head speed is about 2900 with this set up. I am going to switch to a 14t pininon and set the head speed for about 3100. Should be perfect! Here are a few pics.

Here is my current setup:

T-Rex 450S-CF
V-Blades 325mm Carbon Blades
No Fly-bar weights
Gorilla Programable Paddles w/no weights installed- smoother around center, but faster cyclic rates
Gorilla Low-Profile Landing gear- Raises the vertical CG slightly
Castle Creations PHX35 ESC- non governor mode 100% straight Throttle Curve in Idle 1/2 with +/- 12 degrees of pitch
Align 430l 3550Kv motor
Futaba Gy-401 Gyro/ Airtronics 94761 T/R servo
Airtronics 94091 micro-servos on the swash
Airtronics Radio Guidance

Next week I will be testing the new Just Go Fly 500th motor with the Castle Creations PHX35 ESC set to governor mode. Should make this heli ballistic!

7 Attachment(s) My Animal
Discussion / Posted by Jeff Pfeifer / Dec 24, 2006 @ 02:00 PM / 7,815 Views / 0 Comments / Reply
I just finished up my Nikitis Animal for freestyle, and it turned out very well. I modified the airframe by changing some of the construction, adding some SFG's, and changing the aileron counter-balances. All up weight ready to fly w/ battery is 130grams! Should be awesome! I could of made this a tad lighter, but I am not worried about it. You need some weight to throw around for freestyle.

Setup is:

Nikitis Animal Kit
AXI 2203/46 W/ GWS 8x4HD prop
Castle Creations PHX 10 ESC
Castle Creations Berg 4L RX
Dymond D47 Servos x3
Two Dog RC Bad Dogz 2s - 360mah batteries

6 Attachment(s) Bolivar, MO Fall Fly-in '06
Discussion / Posted by Jeff Pfeifer / Oct 24, 2006 @ 12:14 PM / 8,516 Views / 0 Comments / Reply
Two weekends ago our club here in Bolivar, MO had their Fall Fly-in. We had a pretty good turnout this year, and the weather was awesome! Here are some pics of my CAP at the Fly-in. We did capture some video, but we forgot to put the motion stabilization on, and also the auto focus, so as you can imagine it was worse than the Blair Witch Project, so I won't be posting that. LOL :D
