  • Saga of the Blade 130X

    Posted January 7 by Philip Goodwin

    I got my Blade 130X when it first came out and got my first flight in right after the battery got fully charged. The first thing I noticed was the crazy vibrations when spooling up that went away by the time I had lifted off. The heli flew well and I was very impressed right away. After about 4 flig...

  • Don't take things for granted

    Posted January 1 by Chad Fromme

    Just want to remind everybody to not take everything for granted in this hobby. Today while at the field we had some unexpected visitors come by to spectate.

    Here we are…the last day of the year! 12/31/2012   Happy New Year!!!   Once the boom assembly was built, it’s on to the body! The main section of the heli is large in comparison to my Rave or Trex 700. The servo / clutch stack makes up the main center support of the body. ...

  • Heli Flying

    Posted December 29, 2012 by Jamie Allen

    Heli flying is one of my most favarite things to do. I am by no means an expert at it. I am actually more like a novice. I was one of those flyers that was in a hurry and never tought myself to hover noise in. I am still trying to get the slow turns nose in. I love this hobby. I started when I was 1...

  • Gaui FES X2 Blade 300x size comparison

    Posted September 6, 2012 by Jack blanchard

    I had the opportunity to take a few pics of My Gaui X2 FES next to the Blade 300 X for a size comparison. The 300X is taller and longer. However if you line up the main shafts side by side and measure to the end of the tail boom the X2 is slightly longer.  The blades are very close to the sam...
