OLD FAITHFUL ALIGN TREX 500e DFC

Yes as we walking to fly!! Cheryl said "Aww your flying Old Faithful", and that perfectly sums up how fantastic this model heli has been to own and fly, I say in the video how long iv'e been flying her!! And I was quite shocked when I looked up the date of her maiden flight!! Also look out for the bit of fun landing challenge at the end.

Morning Ian .. what a classic !!! It’s great that you rotate through your hanger of planes and heli’s .. Fantastic heli .. love the sound and the way she flys … I am guessing you give the heli a check over and oil after they have had a lay off??? Tricky conditions but well flown and filmed !! Thanks .. Michael

[@IansRCExploits]

I check them over before every flight!! Just a quick visual inspection, make sure nothing is loose or damaged 😀👍

[@ironmover5800]

That sounds awesome, and it’s a big boy

[@IansRCExploits]

Yes it does sound great the Trex 500!! I remember when I used to fly it in the early days, I found the noise terrifying 😀👍

[@deersbrook4485]

Great landing at the end Ian. Next, try it nose in!! 😁

[@IansRCExploits]

No thanks Lol

[@deersbrook4485]

@IAN'S RC EXPLOITS !! Don't blame you! Tail in is fine by me too!

[@IansRCExploits]

I can fly nose in, but know way would I try landing like that 😀👍

[@adnanlamri]

Thanks 😀👍

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Very nice Ian, you don't look a day older 😁👍

[@IansRCExploits]

Ooh I think I do Lol

[@deersbrook4485]

My Spectrum fbl is coming tomorrow for my SAB 420 RAW build. Luckily I'm getting a professional to set it up for me once built. Unfortunately just realised my new tail servo doesn't work having tested it connected to a couple of RC cars before fitting it. It'll have to be returned. Disappointing but a small issue in the grand scheme of things!

[@IansRCExploits]

Ooh that's a bit of bad luck 😒

[@rlbutterfield]

[@IansRCExploits]

Lol thanks Randy 😀👍

[@christopherselby5543]

Can I ask how long your servo to swash links are just swapping mine to dfc head. Great video.

[@IansRCExploits]

Hi Christopher, I'm in work at the moment, but I will check later and forward you the measurements 😀👍

[@IansRCExploits]

My links from the center of each ball link are 46mm 😀👍

[@christopherselby5543]

Thank you. Mine is an old 500cf now has dfc head and torque tail plus slant main gear. Not much left of the old heli 😄

[@IansRCExploits]

Yes but they keep on flying 😀👍
