I am looking forward to spring weather myself. Flying my Estes Proto X and HeliMax 1SQ quad copters indoors is fun, but I am ready to get back outside and get some stick time in. I have decided that in the spring I am going to sell my nitro Traxxas Slayer short course truck and get a Blade 500X. It is time to get a larger heli and the 500X is a great machine

The new DX6 from Spektrum looks like a really nice radio. It appears to have a lot of the same functions as the DX9.

Before
After
For the HAPPENS files, the Mini Telemaster is no longer with us.
Still not quite sure what happened. Had everything rough trimmed (all surfaces faired) yet on the first flight she wanted to hard over to the right. Got her back on the ground safely. Make a few tweaks and on the second flight she went hard over to the left and I could not save that one.

On a happier note, I finally got around to lighting up the Slow Stick and flying it around the back field last night.
