If I buy an Align kit will my Walkera birds retire? I can't see that happening (retiring them) at this point. I'd simply be flying 3 birds regularly
An even tho its designed for hard core 3D I'm saving to buy an SAB Goblin 380 as my next heli rather than an Align kit. Something about the Goblin that makes me want one |

Goblin is impressive for sure. Basic kit is almost $400.00. Heli-direct has special on Quatum motors for it. Goblin's sure be cool looking.
Having higher end helis you can use older birds to warm up with. get juices flowing and lossen up. Buzzaround the field and just unwind. then expensive bird you will feel less tense. Way back when Genius c/p was my good bird/ then V120D02s/ Master mc/p bl/ then V200D03/ then V450d01 v2. now they all are no sweat. Take them for granted and slap them around you go down. Like I said they are not toys but flying machines. Treat them like toys and things go south fast. Duct taped blades/ tons of hot glue[ps; crap don't hold squat] open wires/ lose items like esc/ battery holder asking for doom. |

Sab 380 is larger than 450's. most have 325mm blades/ some 335 mm. Gaui and other Blade 360 use 360 mm. So 380mm even bigger yet.
Newer helis are going by blade diameter. To be nick picker a 325 mm so called 450 is really a 325. i know the 450 came from Align and 450 watt motors awhile back. |

I repaired crack in L/G on D03. JB weld and carbon towe. Since l/g was off motor is real easy to get to. I added a star lock washer to each motor bolt. I see now why had moved before. Bolts were snug but not tight. I did not want to over tighten them with T-handle Allen driver. I do not feel any drag or issues now. All my birds will be ready to go early in the morning. Receieved my V/H order and new battery for my Hoten-X bl.
Flys fine in the wind, also Ldybird version one. OR. My first Walkera and still flys fine. I may not have best birds going but sure like flying them. Every c/p I own flys. Most better than new. |

We planning to fly today. It might happen as the weather is now clouding over and wind picking up.
I'm packed ready to go - D01 D03 Master CP V922 HFP80 and some quads. I take a range with me as it all depends on the weather and how many people will be at Dads place this afternoon (I don't like to fly the 450s when there are too many people present). I'm hoping that everything will go well and I'll get some time with my big birds |

My connectors arrived and should do some soldering today.
Batteries come with X-60's/ Ec-3's/ T-plug/ 3.5 banana/ other one has 4mm babana Geezzee. Local HS had tray full of X-60 plugs all female !! My D03 is again fully operational. L/Gear looks good and motor now has start lock washers. I did some Neon orange trim tape to canopy and looks fine. Local Ace hardware store has seperate hobby section. mostly train stuff/ plastic models. they do carry e-flite models also. i need to get more PTFE grease for main gear and pinions. Plus I use it on my shaft drive gear sets also. I use Q-tips to remove debris after awhile. takes a minute and get excess grit away from doing harm. Tri-flow on bearings FWIW does work. |
