Well they are categorised as toys. Not too hard to believe given their size so I dont expect to be killed in customs.

hmm i wonder if them heavy and strong enough to tote fish??

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #29 on:** July 17, 2010, 07:05:47 PM »

LOLLL @ tote fish.

Arc, ah have the Chinook and it badbadbad. I think its actually powerful enough to lift a significant weight. If you too heavy on the throttle it literally pelts up into the air.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #30 on:** September 20, 2010, 12:49:37 PM »

how these tools going fellas?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #31 on:** September 20, 2010, 12:58:24 PM »

Very nice. My Syma S107 still going strong, although it suffered a little 'battle damage'
it still flies perfectly. 30 US well spent. I'll eventually get another, and use the current one for spare parts.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #32 on:** September 20, 2010, 01:34:08 PM »

The tail decoration broke off my red s107. Had a yellow one in hand so the red one have yellow spots lol. Other than that, perfect flying from all birds.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #33 on:** September 21, 2010, 07:24:11 PM »

Got that Chinook, and put it through its paces just now...

OH GORM IT BADDDDDD!!!

...and good LORD, its sooo BIG. 18 inches of raw Chinook-ness.

Talk about downdraft. Once you get it trimmed out, its a real blast to fly, but its only for
outside, or very large indoor spaces, like a gymnasium. This thing really kicks up a serious breeze
when its in flight.

Two 'issues' I noticed right off the bat...

There's a tendency for the X-mitter to lose connection with the heli at times. Not cool
when in a controlled hover.

Also, mine seems to have a serious problem with the front rotor at max throttle. I noticed
that the entire shaft has a pretty significant wobble. It doesn't affect the lifting ability, but
I hope it doesn't translate into some other problem.

Other than that...this heli gets a solid F@#K YEAH!!!

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #34 on:** September 23, 2010, 03:33:39 PM »

I found that after about 30 flights my chinook developed some serious rotor vibration. I simply tightened the screws that secure the shaft to the body of the chopper and the problem was significantly reduced.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #35 on:** October 06, 2010, 03:25:01 PM »

Got my blue S107 today...

Purrty aint' it?

...and best of all, I can use the other transmitter from the 1st one.
So now I have a fleet of 2 S107s, 1 S022, 1 S027 and 1 S012.

Great fliers, all of em, although the S027 and the S012 seem to require a LOT more trimming
than the others.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #36 on:** October 06, 2010, 05:54:48 PM »

Oh you bastard. I wanted to get a blue one too u could have warned a nigga.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #37 on:** October 07, 2010, 11:20:35 AM »

Check out the fleet...aka 'Viper Squadron'.

...and now I want a yellow S107 too.

Is it wrong for a 35-yr old man to like these so much?

Chronic3ne · « **Reply #38 on:** October 07, 2010, 02:34:38 PM »

Arc.....i really dont like you anymore....friends dont buy gadgets before notifying me.....lol

Very nice...my friend

I was wondering if this thread should be the R/C Hobby thread, as I thnk it won't make sense starting a R/C Planes, Boats, Cars/Trucks, Motorcycle thread...etc.

I recently purchased an Electric R/C Plane, a Hobbico FlyZone Cessna 182. I don't have it as yet but it landed last night (get it, it landed XD ok ok nvm)

Here's a pic of it

Website link http://www.hobbico.com/airplanes/hcaa2505.html

I'm afraid of the helis so got this instead.....guess it's my Christmas gift to myself lol.

Doesn't seem to need a whole lot of space to take off/land so will see how that plays out.

I also plan to eventually get an electric R/C Boat, this one The Traxxas Spartan

And of course a video of it in action, now tell me isn't this boat kewl or what!!

Here's the link to the website with an overview etc http://www.traxxas.com/products/models/marine/5708spartan
Really feeling like a kid again
