Thanks to Julio for excellent job done.

After a great deal of messing around I have finally managed to post the March 2010 Pylon racing video online.

It is in two parts as I was unable to get Windows Movie Maker to convert it into one file, anyway here are the links.

Here is the latest amazing video from Tareq...

My Bear Cat was clocked at 90mph today, admitedly with a tail wind.

I can even land it myself now.....so watch out!!

I tried the trex 450 out at the field today, wind was very low.

It was flyable but unpredictable with fast collective changes.
A couple of times it did some very off things that left me in challenging positions.
Airleron and elevator roll rates were good, but for me the experiment is done.
Maybe on a larger heli the results would be better due to the inherent greater stability of the bigger helis.

In case anyone is interested....Adam you can just hit delete now...I converted my Trex 450 to flybarless last night.

I did not install any electronic stabilisation system so it is now a "naked flybarless".

I used the following simple method to change from flybar to flybarless;

The heli flew first time without incident.

I need to work on the amount of expo I am using, posts in heli-freak talk about +80 which on th DX7 made the cyclic very mushy. +50 was Ok but still needs to be reduced further probably to near normal levels.

The main obvious difference in hover is that the heli will not hover hands off, but it is far from being unstable. It was easy to hold a hover. It seems that with some work on the CG I could get the hover better.

So why have we been using flybars....??

More results to come maybe this weekend..assuming I don't pile it into the ground like i seem to most times I fly it.

I expect it to pitch up in forward flight, but hopefully it will roll balistically.

My Spitfore is still in the box.  The Bipe needs to fly first..bought G4 2650Mah this week with 45c, this should take care of business!
Thanks for getting it down safely Jon!
