I was looking through the parts left over from my rotor head repair and the composite parts removed in the beginning for the aluminum upgrades and realized there was a whole head there.Right down to the last thrust bearing and spacer. I am so bored waiting on my stuff to rebuild my Trex I thought..."what the he!l?" I put one together. Here is the stuff.The pic is older and some of those parts are already on my heli but you get the idea.      This is the head I put together from the bone yard. All new.Never used and complete. I don't know what to do with it.Maybe the Big Ern selling thread ;D  |

Now THAT's cool, having enough basic parts laying around to build up a whole head!
But, that's why I admire you so much! You have literally buckets of 'stuff'. I am getting there!
It should be easy for you to build a few MckrackinStein heli's!
Best,
Kent

Yup.500 head.All Align. I have a whole new 500 ESP kit coming in the mail now. That means I'll be two cyclic servos,a tail servo,a pair of blades(tail and main)and a tail boom short of two complete 500's. Hmmm,maybe ;D I just took this pic.I thought it was cute.lol.  |

So, maybe I'm not completely sick in having three complete 450's?
What I have is this, in theory:
1. Exi SE. Slow all plastic thing to just podunk around with. I'm rebuilding this now, from the crap servo deal.
2. Exi Squadron, upgraded to all CNC head and tail. Pretty middle of the road, I think. This is my first FFF heli!!!!!!! It flies AWESOME!
3. Exi T450 CF. Dam thing is too much of a rocket. I need to figure out why at 3200rpm it is TOO touchy in the sky. RPM may say it all.
Am I beyond it?
Exiomaniac, Kent.

You are not alone, my friend  I just bought another $49 EXI 450 SE (on sale at NitroPlanes) to go with the first one (still building) plus a Belt CP (still in one piece). Heliholics Anonymous is getting lots of business these days. They have a chapter strictly just for Ernie. |

You got that right.
I got a $600 cell phone bill that's going to be a month late because of my heli.
I chose it because it is the one thing(cell phone)I would miss the least.lol.My daughter,brother,mom and dad may miss theirs if my service is shut off ;D
I will fly again though.lol.May have to get some RC carrier pigeons.lol.....
