Thanks Scott!

Freakin' Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this look right?

Guys, where are you throttle/pitch curves set at?
Normal/stunt settings.

I need a bigger pitch guage.
On the shopping list.

Dave, Scott, 65 + shipping for all this stuff!

This Dude is the real deal hippie from northern California.
He finances his heli addiction by making hand blown pipes for, you guessed it.
Cool as hell, he is the guy I am getting these Raptor parts from.
Check out his hair.

Choky threw in a spare os engine also, either a 32 or 37, he can't remember.
60 buks.

Everything is dialed on this, can't do anymore tweaking until she flies.

I just did the auto set up on this gyro, that is really cool!
If it works as well as the set up went, this is going to rok.

I think this thing is going to fly tomorrow!
Dave or Scott, are you available tomorrow evening?
I can wait until Saturday, but I may get antsy....

we are still supposed to have up to 30 for wind and cold. Friday is supposed to be better.

Hey Troy, I just heard the same weather/wind forcast as Roger, I will be home by 530 or so, so if the wind settles down lets give it a shot.

We could go to Bob's, Scott and I saw him fly ( well, start and hover ) his raptor in his living room

Lets just wait until the weekend,don't want to rush it before it gets dark.

Holy box of parts Batman!
Lots of usable stuff, os .32 engine.

Holy crap, man! Did you get another CSM 540 gyro too?

That is the box from the one you gave me.

One of these heads is a V2, it has the bolts in the feathering shaft instead of the nuts, and there are no screws in the blade grips.
Are the v1 and v2 blade grips the same? Just the screw holes are the difference?

Should I move this link out also?

Nope don't move that one. Thats were that one is supposed to be

You can move to the outer hole when you are ready for some fast forward flight and aerobatics. It speeds the pitch some and increases the overall pitch range.

A V2 head will have bolts in the ends of the slightly larger diameter feather spindle. The blade grips won't have screws on either side of the feathering spindle boss. I kind of thought you had at least one in that box of treasure you bought since I did recognize some Titan parts in there.

I have a V2 feathering shaft/spindle and a V1
