Well, after a good 6 months on WordPress.com I have decided to move the blog to my own hosted site so I can add a few plug-ins and have a mess around.
The blog will be the same one written by me so get over there now by clicking the link http://helikid.com
See you there!
As I’m off this week I have had a quick fly this afternoon. Put all my batteries through for the Protos and T-Rex 550 and had some great practice with the field all to myself. 
On the T-Rex 550 I have had to turn the expo on the rudder channel up to 15% to make it the same as the aileron and elevator channels. I did this as I felt the rudder was being far to sensitive and moving around whilst I was learning my 3D.
One thing I did notice though was that my charger can only output 150W which @ 25v equates to a charge rate of 6A or 1.2c for the 5000mAh batteries I have. Ideally this should be more so when I have more money I will have to look at getting one with more oomph.
Got home today after an evening fly to find the postman had delivered the batteries I had ordered from HobbyKing (click here).
Turnigy Nano-Tech 6S 5000mAh
When I brought the T-Rex 550E I also got 2x Align 4600mAh packs. Ideally I think you need 4 packs (4 flights) or it is a pain when at the field. You can normally charge a pack then and keep flying. Therefore I thought I should try the 6S 5000mAh Turnigy Nano-Tech’s. They seem to work well on the Protos so why not.
They come with 10 gauge wire so I should be able to get them into the EC3 connectors that I use. I should have them working by this weekend so I will update the blog with my first impressions then.
Just a quick update today. Been out flying as the weather and the wind has finally calmed down to allow such things. I have been out practising the aileron tic-tocs and I’m getting there. I had a good session on the simulator on Saturday and watched a few videos off the internet on how to do it. This helped but I need to work at it. Still it’s like when I started learning the elevator tic-tocs and they were a bit random but now there much better.
After today’s flying I need to change the main gear on the 250 after a little crash, and the Mini-Titan has a horrible wobble in the head when in Idle-Up. Strange as I haven’t really flown it so I’m not sure where that has come from.
My squadron: T-Rex 550E, MSH Protos, Mini-Titan, T-Rex 250 3G
btw I did go to the BMFA nationals at RAF Barkston Heath on Sunday but the weather was awful and there wasn’t much flying. I saw some bits and pieces, F3C, pylon racing and some aerobatics but not any jets. It was a bit of a shame but at least I tried.
