Are you going to install the E-Flite Fan-Blades you balanced in the TJ80 Tam?? I'd like to see the comparison and diference(if any) with your Fan Blade Set-UP ..

My phone turn off to get some sleep. The alarm monitor people can reach me and their send to SJPD to check out.
Been in this area over 8 yrs and not a single break in.
But can't afford not to have alarm turn off just case of fire.
I wipe out the whole rats family once in a while. But some how new family move in.
I should train those rats to works or turn them to working elks.

The Rats you got like your Jets Tam!! They go around telling other Rats of your new TJ80SE and they wanna see your secret work!...Bang!..the Alarm goes off!!

I say to give one of the rats a ride in your Habu Tam Then set him free. That should get them out of your shop

Answer .... LOTS!!!

Successful maiden.

I made mine 100% stock, with retracts. Tonight I made the maiden flight on our grass runway. It was a long run with 1/2 flaps but it all worked great. I was most surprised by how slowly it would fly with full flaps.

Second flight was even better. The sky was dark, the humidity high and generally poor conditions but it was loads of fun.

Waiting for the batteries to charge to see how much longer I can fly the Habu on a charge.

Neat. It was worth the wait.

Now ready to go fly.
I just ran up with 8s 2.6k at 84A.
Sound pretty nice and smooth like my TJ rotor.
Dynamic balance make this E-Flite rotor come to live.
But you know what.
I'm not go to fly with 8s.....
My plane was set up for 9s. Why not go for more power.

Let me camera and set it still to get some high speed pass.

Tam how far are you from San Luis Obispo? Or any other Habu flyers?
I am working here in SLO and would really like to try and see some of these hot rod Habus fly

hotdog1 -see you did it? what did you use?

Saw someone else with a painted silver canopy, a few hundred post ago..

How's it holding up?

Tamjets- Great idea on those balanced blades. Looking forward to purchasing soon..

hi tbm. i tried dye from wallyworld and fabricville. dye the wood arounf the glass was all it did. i tried to find the rit dye but can't seem to get it up here. i saw a pic posted by crashguru, he has a cool silver canopy using patra model spray paint. i went to the hobby store and found you can by a clear paint that will work as a tint, so i went that way.
and yes, spray lightly as mentioned previously, my first coat was a little too heavy

Will some be flying their Habus this weekend?
And mayni ask where is the filed? I would need something to set my GPS to get there.

Thanks

hey guys I though I would share, last week a fellow club member showed up to the field with a brand new Habu 32 bone stock on 6s and I gotta tell you I was very impressed with this jet. he asked me to maiden it for him and of course I said ok, this flight is on a turnigy 6s 5000 25c, since this was the maiden I kept the flight short about 2.5 min timer at the end of the flight batt was showing 60% remaining, this thing was fast and efficient. this is a very cool jet. I think he has a tiger in his also, I'll let him know about tams balanced rotors.
here is the video
