I'm back!! I was gone from Sept 4th until an hour ago,,I just got home,,,you guys are my first stop!! Man,,,I missed this place and you guys.
First,, the hunting trip to Montana was a success,,,,I got my 7th Pope & Young Record Book Bull Elk with my bow,,,,a nice 6 X 6 Bull. I'll post pitcures after I get settled and down-load all the pictures and videos from my trip.
Secondly,,,if you remember, I took my T-Rex 600 and my T-Rex 500 with me. Well,,,the 500 is still in one piece and flying well. The 600 took one smash but I had the parts to fix him,,,then I burnt up the main shaft bearings,,,so I have that to fix. I did a lot of flying the first 3 weeks at camp,,then the weather turned bad,,,,cold,,,freezing,,,snow. I have a video of me flying at camp,,,again,,,give me a day or so to get it loaded.
I had one incident with the 500,,,,wierd! In the middle of a flight, just as I was doing a flip,,it made a 'pop' and fluttered wildly. I got it under control and landed it with no problem. One of the washout control arms came off in flight,,,,I mean GONE,,flew away,,,not there,,,WOW! I did not figure a heli could fly with one of those gone. It flew and hovered fine and I had no problem landing it,,,,,,it just would not maneuver very well. I ordered one and had it delivered to the town near camp and was flying again in 5 days.
OK,,,whats been happening since I've been gone? I'll browse thru the BB later,,I still have to unpack and I have a ton of things to do the next couple days. But I had to "HI" and let you guys know I missed yous!! It's good to be home,,,,now I can concentrate on flying again!!
Later!!!!
Randy

Good to have you back, Elk! Congrates on the kill. I'll be looking for the pics. I don't think crashed a single time while you were gone. Then again, didn't get to fly too much either.
Shake the snow off you're boots and settle in for a while...
