Thanks Wayne. I was thinking the same thing but the Sonys are attractive too.

I agree, a hotter plug should do the job. My 75AX requires the low end to be extremely lean to get decent transition. I think a hotter plug will help. As far as the OS F plug goes, there are too many good flyers using this exact plug in the 55AX to ignore it. These guys also said they noticed significant improvements in the 75 and 95 AX's as well. It cost me a little over 25 bucks to give it a try. If it doesnt work I'll just go back to the two stroke plugs. I keep my distance from the probro site by choice. Too many things I don't agree with going on over there. But I still respect and trust the knowledge and skill of many of those guys. So I guess we'll see..

Mt flyer, the Vizio is a sweet ride. My Sonys are both hooked up to Xbox 360's.

Hopefully this works out.

Dunno how many of my fellow Twistaholics are heli guys...

but Raptor 50's usually get about +10 to -10 degrees of pitch if you're having a good day.

I did this whole flybarless thing... now get 16.5 to -16.5.

An improvement has been made.

Plus it just looks way more badass.

good Morning Wayne from yesterday and now today

Plow I am still living off the big square TV, I get a great picture on it and I really haven't seen a wide screen I like yet enough to buy, especially after we put our pics from Hawaii vacation on the big screen at my Bro in-laws and we couldn't believe just How FAT we all looked, well I am fat but we have some skinny kin folk that made larry the cable guy look like a popcycle stick lol I'm holding out until my TV goes. then I'll upgrade.

Snowman great to hear from you man, another 9 months of schooling God bless you and rock the show, it'll be over in a flash anyway and well worth all the effort maybe you could become a flight surgeon.

RC sweet birdy for sure,, And yes I will be venturing into the gas heli world myself sooner or later, hopefully sooner,, now where is that dang lottery ticket

Sweet lookin' heli! Question: how can you maintain any kind of head speed through manuevers pushing that much pitch? I used to fly a Raptor 50, but have no knowledge of the flybarless thing.....

We have 2 nationally ranked Heli pilots in our club, one of them just got a flybarless a couple weeks ago, that thing is off the hook! Perfomance on the heli took a dramatic increase. I was impressed and I have no idea what any of it means, well...other then its slammin faster then it did before and AJ giggles more when he flys it.

With that much pitch, I think it'd just bog regardless of what you did. Unless of course you are a collective management master.

I've dialed it back to +13/-13 and we'll see how that works. 10 just wasn't cutting it any more.

I saw a guy Sunday doing frontflips across the field (like.. in the airplane pattern) at like 80 miles an hour with a flybarless T-Rex 550E. Granted, it was windy... but still. LOL
