    Hi guys

    I have not been active for a while here as I moved back to Zurich Switzerland. Last evening I bought a used Oxy 3 in good condition. Its been used the hard way but hey.. I will not handle it very carefull either haha!

    Setup:

    Standard Kit with 255mm Zeal
    Lynx EOX 2222 motor on 4s
    KST DS215MG servos all around 5.5V
    YEP 60A esc (YGE copy)
    Still hunting a used Brain FBL

    I will strech this little bastard to 285mm and get some more lipo packs. It will be my every day try out some new tricks horse. If it kisses the field Crash Helidevil can laugh with me :)

      Been very tempted with one of these.. But seeing in trying to reduce the fleet I've held off

      Thanks boys and girls. Nice to read.

      I picked the Oxy apart to see what weared out and to clean and grease this little machine. It was really dirty. Some bearings are at the end of their lifetime, so I had to order some parts. The stretch kit is ordered as well with the 285mm Zeal blades. :) This will be fun!

      I received three different skids and had to check the weights. My Oxy should be as light as possible. Im still not shure if I should go with DFC or not but ordered the DFC arms. Parts are cheap. Maybe DFC is better for high rpm.

      Nice work @iggy, I just would have thrown a battery on it and flown it.

      I know what you mean man. But I like to restore things.. The Oxy was so dirty and looked really just flown without any inspections. Thats not my way to enjoy this hobby. This helis are beautiful pieces of ingenieering and I like to keep them clean and in top condition. As soon as I notice some wear it has to be fixed. For safety and psyhological reasons. Crashing without any doubt is the most annoying thing in this hobby. On the other hand its still cold here. And the G570 is allways ready for a ride.

      I cant tell you anything till I fly it but what I like on the Oxy is the Goblin like mechanics. Main rotor assembly with swash, the complete tailbox, tail rotor, pitch slider and even that tuning carbon landing gear - its so Goblin. I just needed something small to throw around without fear to hurt myself.

      Damn!! no wonder Swisz was just voted the happiest country in the world <envy,envy>.. Congrats on the nice buy, the Oxy looks to be one sexy heli..nice lines and no frills. Love the supportless boom, very Mostro look and gotta love the stance.

      Thanks mate. It IS a sexy little machine. Im very happy to finally have it. Switzerland is a beautiful and very well working country. You know where the best watches are coming from. But most of us are not rich and we have to work hard for a qualitiy life here. But we can work. Thanks god.

      Cant wait to get the oxy up and try out some stuff. As I have seen on youtube its pretty quick but with the strech kit seems to be stable as well. Spring is coming. New season starts. Got to nail those piroflips soon!

      Peace

      One reciever is HEAPS @iggy. I only use one sat for my gobby 380! Keep this pocket rocket light because these things move very fast and are alot of fun.
