chutem 0 #26 November 5, 2005 I've been haveing alot of fun with the stryker also. It's fast, aerobatic, and very sturdy. When you do break it just spray both sides of the break with 3M 77 adhesive give it 5 minutes to tack up and stick it back together. Also flies pretty good in the wind.James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron 10 #28 November 6, 2005 Ah you have a Blade. I have two of em. One set up for 3d and one just for playing around. I also have a Shogun V2 with brushless and a Venture .50 glow.

I type like shit and "S" is right next to "D".

Ron 10 #32 November 6, 2005 QuoteHow are you getting on with the helis? I was doing great. I had my little blade flying around and was starting to perform rolls. One of the ball links broke on the blade holder and that was all she wrote. I have not been able to get it to fly correctly since. It is OK, but the swash plate tilts to the left very much when it is trimed for level flight. This makes it slide left in forward flight and right backwards. I tried to adjust the swash plate, but it will not hold a hover without a bunch of left stick. So its kinda a pain in the ass trying to get it right. The Shogun is great. I have looped and rolled it. I have a small problem with transitioning from forward flight to a stable hover. I put it in a hover at about 30 feet. Then while I try to decend it rolls around like a leaf falling. If I bump up the head speed it stops...I almost think it is stalling a blade. But it will not decend like that. I think I do not have enough negative pitch. One Idea was flying it in "V" curve all the time...What do you think? The Venture is almost done. I have been working a ton and while it was ready to fly this wekend....A "Friend" was in town and we went house shopping. So, Ill let you know next week."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's very hard to get a good descent without some negative pitch. OTOH, negative can get you a nice crash if you're heavy handed on the sticks. Do you have a head tachometer? You want to run the Shogun pretty fast (around 2200 if I recall correctly, it;s some time since I flew one).... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I did not even know they existed....I have a pro tach. Will that work?
