Build Log HX Bird to Cybird mods

[Heavy Chevy]

Well, well, well.......

I forgot all about this thread. Here I am a few months later and I am glad to say that I had a great summer flying my THunder Roc clone. I swapped out the guts and what a difference that made. It was responsive and the range was fantastic. I only fly with zero wind as I hate how it turns when there is wind, freaks the ba-jee-sus out of me. I also have metal internal gears waiting in a little bag for when the stocks strip.

I just won a NIB HX bird off of ebay so I'm back searching for info in it.

Here's a video I posted a little while ago, it's about wing repair, hope it helps:

Here's a video of the Thunder Roc with stock guts and TX, the stock guts have since been scrapped.

It's not the turns that get me, it's the flying crab angle into the wind. I only fly in max 7 MPH steady winds with no gusting. It's kind of cool to see it fly at a 45 degree angle in a cross wind - but a bit unnerving.

Just received my brand new HX2 bird that I won off of ebay, (no, there are no more, sorry), and I can't believe that the internal gears are metal!! Unbelievable!! I had no idea!!
