All right THB flyers! Y'all missed an excellent day of flying! jump.gif
However, disaster almost struck! The switching 'Y' harness to my elevator servos failed giving a very twitchy, down elevator input to the right elevator servo. Very nearly crashed it. It was bought new earlier this month and only had a couple flights on it. I'm taking it back to the hobby shop. Hopefully, they'll make it right. We'll see.....
I also flew the Hog Bipe today. It flew very well after a little maintenance.
The whole cylinder was loose were it bolts to the block. :shocked: They run very strange like that. lol

LOL, yep!!
Mike has a seriously great bussiness plan going on there. He offers free use of his indoor Monster truck dirt track....amazing. The hobby shop was packed and nobody spent less that $50 in the store while I was in line watching.
My son got really good at racing his truck though not it's tits up.
When I turn the truck on, the front wheels will steer back and forth but the rear wheels won't move....nor with the motor turn on. Not sure what's going on there.

Good call, I forgot to add that the red (hot) wire connection to the motor appears to have thinned...by that I mean it's hanging on by about10 wire strands and I'll have to re-solder the wire on for a good connection. My thinking is that though it's connected, there may not be enough wire to carry the required current needed to turn the motor.
I'll break out my truct voltmeter after work and take a reading.
that's all that counts.... i just love watching my sons eyes light up.... with the R/Cs when we play with them, and when we get the boat out and head to the water, spending the day or a few hours together..... never will be able to replace that time as we and they get older.... plus the moral values that we instill in them :smile27:
OH forgot to add the 4 wheelers.... had his friend out over the weekend and was teaching him to ride what a blast :smile27:

Ya, we have four wheelers too.....They are old and when I got them, I had to repair them to make 'em run but once I did...they run well.
We've been to a few places but our favorite is Red River ATV park just north of Bohnam on the Oklahoma side of the Red River. When the water is down, we ride down the banks and into the river. What a blast!!
