Uploaded a few books now , some as old as 1910 ...
Thats 106 year old modeling books ...
Actually , if you think about it , aero modelling could be thousands of years old .. Free Flight in particular could be the oldest form of aero modelling bar none ...

How old is the boomerang ( ? ) Thats a flying wing of sorts , its free flight of sorts .. ( Just a thought ) But they found a model glider in the tomb of a pharaoh , yeah .....

So far ..

Stunt Control Line Flying by R.H Warring ...
Air Age Gas Models ( 1943 possibly )
Control Line Model Aircraft ( 1949 )
As well a couple of Aeromodeller Annuals ..

I consider all to be of some historical importance , so felt the need to share .. I have some other publications I am going to share , one is about 100 years old and the other is 106 years old . Yeah !!! they actually had model aircraft publications back then .

Turnigy i10 Throttle cut (1 min 2 sec)

Hope this video helps ..
Focus is a little soft , I may need to refocus that action cam for close ups if Im going to use it this close ... ( and for tutorials n stuff )

Wow !
Its taken for ever , but I thought it time to bind the i10 to one of my 450 helicopters ..

I thought everything went swimmingly until take off .. When the heli decided it had a mind of its own ..
The price for a lack of vigilance was 3 servos stripped ..
The fault lay with me for not triple and quad checking and checking again ... , and the other issue I should have picked up on was that the auxiliary and ail servo needed to be manually reversed at the receiver ( Yeah I missed that ) ..
So rather than spending a glorious winters day going through batteries , I spent the afternoon replacing servos and setting up the 450 all over again ...

Well , my reward for stupidity was a heli that was almost perfectly set up .. All that was needed was a little trim ( forward ) and the 450 hovered sweet ! .. Yeah I had to play with the rotor blade pitch curve but , sweet ...

I really like the i10 transmitter , for some strange reason quads and helicopters fly better with the i10 ( ? ) Go figure ...
At least I got in half a battery as the sun was setting and before it started getting dark .

And yes it has been a while since I have flown a 450 .. These days I just do the WL toys 959 with its larger battery ( almost 10 minutes of flight time ) .. That 959 is also bound to my i10 , and it flies sweet ..

So there you go , remember to check , check and check again , and when you think everything is good , check again ...
Oh well , its been a very long time since I have broken anything on a 450 , so I guess it might have been time to break something .
Still , would have been better to be flying than doing repairs ...

I have another 450 I want to bind to my i10 , I will have to be more careful I think next time around ...

My favorite 1.5cc engine from way back ..
The Cox TD 09 ...
Powered many @ half A combat model in the mid 80's ..
Also the fastest motor in its day ...


I sure did enjoy running the TD 09 .. My original broke some 20 + years ago , but thanks to stevster I now have another ..
