My thread about my first Tricopter build:


https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...0#post31480483

I just started flying last summer. (On my own) I bought Phoenix flight sim that came with a DX5e. Played off and on for a couple weeks then ordered my first foamie on ebay. A UMX BNF p51 with as3x and a DX6i! I beat the heck out of that plane, pushed it way past its limits and crashed hard for it. Gave it to a friend after the motor gave up the ghost.

After that, it snowballed..........
Blade mcx (gave away)
Blade mcx2
Blade 180qx hd
Eflite Sukhoi su-29 bnf (sold)
Parkzone Sport Cub bnf with flaps
Parkzone Artizan bnf
Spektrum DX6 (sold the DX6i)
Parkzone Archer BNF, pulled 10amp esc, installed 30amp esc, fly on 3s!
Hobby King mini Sonic wing. (fast little sob!)
Durafly Das Ugly stick pnp. (Sweet flying foamie, looks great)
Eflite Inverza 280
Estes ProtoX micro quad and Hubsan X4 controler. (wanted baby quad to leave at work.)
J Power T-28 Trojan mini. (Can't get this stupid thing flying yet)
Building a mini Das Ugly Stick

With the now 8 planes, quad, and mcx2, I have the following batteries.
4 - turnigy 3s-2700
6 - zippy compact 3s-2450
4 - gforce pro 3s-1800
5 - eflite/zippy compact 3s-1300
4 - zippy compact 3s-850
4 - zippy f/max 3s-800
4 - zippy compact 2s-1000
4 - zippy compact 2s-500
6 - lectron pro 1s-600
12 - turnigy 1s-160

Now, pretty much too cold to fly... So, as I'm sitting here bored and since joining RCG,


Spektrum DX9 Black edition. (After DX6, silver DX9 won't do...) (Keep DX6 for backup)
Aerosky Delta wing 61...Continue Reading

Thank you, thank you, thank you....

NEW MEMBER of the AMA as of today!


Now, I can join local flight club this spring, and finally have a much closer and better place to fly! (And CRASH!)

Self made plane rack, holds 12-15 foamies, adjustable dowel rods.

Twin 5amp ac/dc chargers, will hold at least 20 3s-2200 batts + 20 2s - 500 to 1000 batts.
