Question?
Gyros And Servos In Winter
Hi there,
As you know there is a temperature limitation for every Gyro/FBL system, which you can find in the users guide. For example 10 to 60 degrees C.
My question is what reactions we have to expect form a FBL system in Winter, when temperatures are below zero degrees C? I never tried that out.
Will the gyro respond and calculate slower when the chip gets cold? And is there a hazard that the whole system shuts down at lets say minus 5 degrees C??
Motor and ESC shouldnt have a problem because they heating anyway. But whats with the servos?
Any bad experiences out there?
Let us...

With the 3DX and F3C competitions coming up I wanted to get others thoughts on safety.
A little background for those not from Australia we have a 9 meter rules where a model, under MAAA rules, can't be flown closer than meters to the pilot.
MAAA MOP014 6.5 Helicopter Flying: The MAAA requires that helicopters flying outdoors are not to be flown any closer than 9 metres to all pilots operating at the time.
The F3C schedule has a set of hovering moves which are performed at 10 m away from the pilot. This is all good and >9m away until the slow piros get out of shape and you...

Kontronik Jive Pro 120 HV 4635
Knowing the name Kontronik Jive is a standard in the RC helicopter world, and the new Pro 120 looks like the same old reliable design Kontronik have always produced. The difference is whats inside, and with many new features you can expect from the Jive line. 2 options to choose from, 80A and 120A both of which have features for all types of RC aircraft, boats and RC cars.
One of the largest upgrades the the Jive is...

Poor old @CrashMinion wanted a break from having to come up with all the riddles. So here's a new thread where whoever gets the riddle correct has to come up with the next one.
Here's the first one. I'll provide some clues if required, but have a think about it first.............
I'm number 3 and I'm in charge. What am I?
Fire away!

I am completely wiped out after this weekend`s helicopter event. The Triple Creek Fall Helicopter Classic. The event was not as big as it was last time, but it was still an amazing weekend. There was an F3C competition going on on the west end of the field, and open sport and 3D flight at the flight stations on the main runway. I burned almost two gallons of the holy 30% nitro, and I was offered by the guys at Bavarian Demon, to try out one of their FBL systems....which is still on my helicopter. After flying it for a few flights, I had to have it..LOL. I even won a whole case of Cool...
Its amazing how fast the Oxy 3 moves in this video! WOW
This re-enforces the damage that can be caused by high powered RC helicopters... I am not sure of the size heli or when this happened. If anyone has any doubt about the damage an RC Heli can cause then please watch this - it may change your mind or even possibly help prevent serious injury.
Please be aware this is pretty gruesome. No deaths thank goodness but a nasty cut.
