Almost done rebuilding!

[Futuramille]

a 1000uF filter comes with the stack. its 2.3g. this 2" and 2s indoors/3s outdoors setup with a 20amp esc.
do i need this added weight? here's how it flies with these motors.. previous F3 build. this filter would be additional to the last build... I'd rather go without but can anyone argue in favor if adding it inline to the battery/pdb? i use one on the mini but that runs 4s.

 

[Futuramille]

we'll, so charging ahead.. i nixed the filter. tinned up the pads and went at it.

building off the frame was an interesting challenge. flipped over its a pretty tight fit turned out ok though. whew.. i was worried.

You know what Futura, your vids are always the bomb. But I still think dvr Vida are the best. I love to see what you see. HD is great but I love raw.
The weight difference is huge.
And hey, we all crash too much.

 

[Futuramille]

thanks wayno! what a ball! i think I'll break this thread out to another thread specific to 20x20 hglrc stack build and do all three rebuilds separately. since i started this thread ive rebuilt all three (2", 3", 5" cerberus) now I'm rebuilding again so.. ill split this up for contents sake.

 

[Wayno52]

OK so come on, which I'd your absolute favorite of them?
Which one, when you strap on those goggles, arm and hit that stick just makes your heart race?

Is not I'd, hate typos

i really like flying in my back yard. i don't get out so my little playing ground is about it day in day out ... its hot in Florida and the back yard is shady. 5" doesn't fit. I'd have to say the 3" is my favorite but ive got more time on it.

then again, nate can fit the 5" where I'm pressed to fly a 3" so... my favorite is actually what nate wants to fly. I'm taping everything and when my son moves on... its all saved for viewing later. priceless

but the 2" rules the back yard

 

[Futuramille]

nate is arriving two days early. (in 2hours) I've got nothing flying... ugg. i got the new xm+ flashed and.. not much else today.. sigh
waiting on 5" motors still.. ive got a week to get this 2" flying again while creating vacation time at work. the 2" would be cool to take to a fishing camp ground i think.
here is nate with the 2" last spring.

this should be a ball... ( :

"NateDogg" is home safe! 36 hours straight through from Polson Montana to Greenville SC to see his Mom and get some hotel time. Him and GF switched off driving/sleeping. Then 7.5hrs more driving to home yesterday. they left Friday at noon.

ah to be 21yo again. 2268 miles 46hours. i think he was ready to get home.

 

[Wayno52]

So stoked for you mate. So glad he's home safe and you are reunited.
Must be a fantastic feeling for you all.

Now get them birds up and running and send some footage. Lol

 

[Futuramille]

he's more interested in getting this toy ready for a Halloween drift event.

I'm trying to make sure work is covered while I'm out fishing.. its a sketchy work week but I'm going fishing. we'll fly later

 

[Wayno52]

Nice one, best of luck on the fishing trip buddy.
Safe travels.

 

[Futuramille]

[Futuramille]

[Wayno52]

[Futuramille]

[Futuramille]

Today Nate Flew all 9 batteries i have for the 5". it was a great session w/one broken blade. i forgot just how much better he flies than me. <giggles>

[Wayno52]
