RE: are these blades any good for cp pro?
Hey Guys,
I got my new packs in for my 500. Nothing like what Jeff flies with 3300 mAh 5S but good enough for this old boy and you can't beat the price. Thanks Nick for the tip on Rhinos. I am using my chargers with built in balancers on this puppys
Glenn............stick at on the 500. Dont forget to wear your BiFocals.

JPEE,
I finished the 450 a few hours ago. I just need to put a zip tie on and adjust a link since one blade is warped a little. I did as much as I can on the plane until my parts come. They shipped out yesterday, so I will have to wait until next week to finish it. I could cut out the ailerons now, but I want to do that at the same time as I put the servos, hinge tape, and pushrods in.
It would be fun to get the skis that DUBRO sells and put them on the cub and take off from the snow.

Nick,
Sounds good! When you have something crashed ya just want to get it flyable ASAP! that way I am.
I would do the same and cut the wings in when I had all of the parts on hand so there are no surprises. I saw a plane somewhere in the last few days and hehad these like snow skies on them. They might have been wheel display holders so the plane woun't rool at his home but they looked more like the OLD TIME skies that fit over the wheels and could be lifted or set down per the weather like for a plane in Alaska.

Funny, I have been offering my buddy a few bucks for his crashed CX2 so I can put pontoons on it and fly it around the yard of our other house and it has a pool1 That sould be a kick. At one time I looked a boats but bigger ones are to big for a pool, more like a city park pond and the little ones only have 6vt nicads that done last very long. I think the CX2 heli with float would be cool. I could even use my grand kids FLOATIES for their arms when they are not swimming LOL

In my findings and observations, I believe using two 3-cell packs for a 6s set-up is lighter, and more powerful than using my 5s 3300 mah batts. I can get the headspeed of a 6s set-up with my 16t according to Trex-Tuning, but adding another cell is adding another cell, and eventually after these die off I'll go with a 6s set-up for the 500...
But like ya said any batttery is good enough for any of us....LMAO... Cheers,
~ Jeff
Oh..... Took up the 450 4 times today just sport flying around and doing some loops... The stock Trex 450 SA motor is back in the heli and it is gutless ! It has about half the power as that Common-Sense motor had that I blew up...Lol... But it will work for now...

RE: are these blades any good for cp pro?
Jeff,
Another reason I like going with two 3S packs, if I go plowing with the nose hopefully one of the packs will survive! For my first three 500 flights my packs have velcro between the packs to make them as one and velcro on the bottom to grab the tray. I now think that is a "mistake". I crashed my 402 the other week an the battery was ejected from the heli which save it to be honest. So with the 500 I think I will no longer hook the two packs together. If there is a crash, hopefully as they separate one will survive. I do not nor will I fly 500 or 600 hard. I save that hot dog flying for the 400s as they can be "acceptable" casualties to me should a crash take place. Commacazzie's lol.

RE: are these blades any good for cp pro?
hey guys, just checking in and trying to be calm about getting the new heli lol
Any of you guys would be interested in my e-flite 3 cell lipo's the 800mah, they are all in mint condition, I could do 3 of them for $40 shipped

Hey Heli,
LOL, you'll be watching for the truck to arrive all week...
Hope it gets to you quickly, and you can start the build...did you get a chance to check out the Finless videos yet?
They are a huge help, there is even one on loctite, I was thinking you might want to watch...and the ones on CCPM setup 1 and 2 are very, very helpful too...
Man, that sounds like a good deal on the lipos...I already have some for my CPP....but I am hoping I can resist the CPP 2 when it FINALLY gets releaased, I think they are close now...and those packs would come in handy...lol[X(]
But, I'll have to pass for now, if you get an offer, by all means, take it...since I am not really sure, I don't want to commit to it....
Keep us posted when the new heli arrives!!
Glenn

Hey guys,
Nick,
Glad to hear that the 450 is back together again...sounds great, hopefully you will get a chance to test fly it soon...
I just finished the 500, and it should be ready for a test flight here later this afternoon...weather here isn't too bad, mid 40's, not much wind..
JPEE,
Nice looking packs! I'll be anxious to see how you like them, once you get them all charged, and have a couple of flights on them...
Jeff,
I am a bit disappointed in the RC screwz kit, I think it was meant more for the belt driven 500, as it is missing some screw sizes...most notably, the side plate screws on the tailbox, which are very short screws. I can't picture what a belt driven tailbox looks like, you have any pics of your belt driven tail setup before you switched over to TT? [8D]
I may email them, and if nothing else, just make them aware of the situation, but I'd like to know more details...there were some other screws that I couldn't find, like the ones for the horizontal tail fin/strut mount on the tailboom...[
]
No biggie, still an excellent set, it would be nice if they updated it for the ESP/TT tail though...we'll see...

Helistyle,
Those batteries would work great in the Gaui, but I am trying to convert to A123's on all my helis and I haven't flown the Gaui in awhile.
Glenn,
I don't know if I want to fly over the snow. I would be fine flying upright, but it isn't fun unless I go inverted. LOL
Good to hear your 500 is fixed.

I never installed the belt kit that came with my 500, as right off the bat I installed the TT kit. But I still have the tail case and will throw up a picture since your curious... Its sure lighter than the TT CNC tail case that's for sure...Lol... Carl is going to have the lightest of all our 500's... Mine is the heaviest...

RE: are these blades any good for cp pro?
Nick,
LOL on the snow...and only wanting to have fun blowing some snow up while inverted!
That would make a cool video too!
I'm going to go out in a little bit and test out the rebuild...
Do you have a fun fly tonight?
Jeff,
Ah, a picture is worth a thousand words...
I can see now why I don't have any screws to fit the TT CNC tail side plates...as they are completely different in the belt tailbox...if you look at your TT tail, you will see 3 screws on each side plate...and they are super short ones...wasn't any like them in the kit...[]
RC Screwz seems like a very good company, I'll probably email them later on .....just to see what they say..

no problem glenn, I haven't got an offer on them at all, and it sucks
they are in mint condition
Hey I got a question for you guys do you think on a size 450 heli
the specs on these batteries would be powerful enough for it
# Capacity: 2200mAh
# Burst Rate : 20C
# Continuous discharge rate: 15C
# Voltage: 11.1V
# Cells : 3
# Size : 105mm x 35mm x 22mm
# Weight: 160g
they are in mint condition

Helistyle,
It depends on the current rating on the motor, but at 15C they could deliver 33A which is pretty common for a 450 sized heli.

RE: are these blades any good for cp pro?
Heli,
On post 5560 your selling your batteries and showing them 3S 800 mah. Then just abvoe this you show and talk about other batteries or are these the same your trying to sell. I am kind lost here my friend.
What are the spec's for the selling batteries
Cells?
Voltage?
mAh ?
How old are they?
How many cycles have they had?
