Pretty fun.

Nice! It's windy today, here. Yesterday was beautiful, though.
-
Nice. I want your front yard. If I fly in my front or back yard I would hit the neighbors ;D
Cheers

Lol, yea, I would not be happy in a city or a suburb. Just think, I get up at 6 tomorrow because there is no school, go hunting, then go play with helicopters, then go hunting again...and I never have to leave the property unless I kill a deer.
-
Thumbs up!

A little fun with the GoPro in the front yard today:

Nice! What a life... Step out the door and fly!

Yes. A wee bit jealous myself!
It was a beautiful day here also. Got 8 flights in on the N9 and E5 ;D

I've had the flu this week. I was puking so hard, my ribs hurt. It's gorgeous out today, too. I did finally regain enough energy to put my E5 together and I did manage one flight before I felt like I was going to pass out.

Sorry to here that Rodney. Hope you finish recuperating quickly and get some flights in before the wather really turns.

Got in the first few frosty flights of the year this morning before heading out:

It's hard to believe I already have 40 4-minute flights on the E-5. It seems like I just got done building it yesterday.
-
Sweet! I racked up flights faster on the E5 than I have on any other helicopter that I've owned.

What do you like more? The Blade or the flip phone resolution? I think they are both super sexy. ;D
-
Oh I see... Is the Blade for target practice ;)
Nice toys!

LOL :)

Nice bird there but I really like the armory set up. Have a few of my own that will be coming out to play now that it's cold out and I won't be doing much, if any, flying.

Thanks. I've been playing with guns ever since I can remember. Helicopters are merely the most recent toy for me to become enamored with, though I must say, I wanted an R/C heli since I was a little boy, but back in the day, they were ridiculously unaffordable.
-
I know the feeling exactly! I would sometimes see someone flying planes mostly and occasionally a heli. Then I looked up the prices and stuck with guns. Many years later I looked again and was able to get into helis too. Now I'm I to two expensive hobbies hah.

Lol, yea, it only took me from March until September to take the crack habit from the Blade 130X to the Synergy E5. I'm planning to build a .50 sized Nitro next.
I think being used to dropping gobs on guns didn't help things any. Who pays 700 bucks for a charger for their toys? Crazy people, that's who.
-
This thread has taken a hilarious turn. The timing is even funny. I had a friend over yesterday. I helped him get a hexacopter that he bought set up. We used to shoot sporting clays together all the time. Anyway, I have my guns in my helicopter room and I was showing him the newer ones that he hadn't seen yet. :)

Since it's already de-railed, LOL, here's my contribution...

Very nice rifle Rodney. Well shucks. Guess I'll add mine. These are just my long guns. No pics of my misc hand guns.

RodneyK....thread derail...who cares, life would be boring if everything were perfectly organized. Besides, this is my E5 flying thread and I love guns too..haha.
Brandon,
I see you have the Ruger Gunsite- what scope are you planning on mounting on it? I want to get a Steyr Scout one day. I just wish they came with a threaded barrel. I think every man should own a bolt action .308. I have an FN PBR personally.
Oh, since I see Rodney is a shotgun snob ;-) here are my scatter guns (I don't think their sights lend them to skeet though):

Here is my set of lawn darts:

Here is my personal favorite:

LOL, I would consider shotguns snobs to be the guys with hand engraved double barrel guns that cost >$10k. Mine's just a decent Browning.
I do have one of them there evil black rifles, a couple other various rifles, and some pistols. Been shooting since I was a wee lad.
-
The scope for my Gunsite is something I haven't considered yet. Any recommendations?

It's a scout rifle.
Have a look at the Burris 2.75x20mm or the Leupold 2.5x28mm.
Make sure you get a quality set of rings.
-
Those both look nice. I may go for the Leupold in the near future. Thanks for the suggestions!

I recently bought a new set of rings for one of my 22's. It the SR 22 from Ruger, the AR-15 platform. The Nikon P-series mounts are the ones I got for a Nikon ProstaFF scope. And these are by far the best rings I have ever purchased! I use my .22 as a testbed for equipment, all that means is it gets kicked around and very occasionally dropped. Normal everyday use has not taken the zero off with these mounts. Excellent product. Nice kit Cope I dig the the compensating barrel on the shotgun!

Thanks. Yea, I thought it was really cool too until I tried to clean it. It is a pain trying to get carbon out of those holes...and I don't know how much they actually help the recoil.
-
I would question the functionality only because I have spent a few rounds out of a glock 22C and other than making a big flash during the night and in the shade during the day, I couldn't tell a difference. Plus I know those 3" shells are gonna sting no matter. I use brake cleaner on my all my guns, the ones without wood any way I am sure you have tried that. It works great on the gas tube on your "Sport Utility" arms. Happy flying and shooting!

Here's a muzzle break that one of my buddies designed. It actually shoots fire out of the eyes and nostrils, too. ;D

Well it's snowing in Dixie. To fly or not to fly? Screw it, it's 23 degrees why not? I put 4 packs through the E5 and am proud to report that I had a ball. I used my crappy Gens-Ace packs in the event of a crash- don't want to mess up my nice new Pulse packs..lol...who cares about the $1500 E5? I did a few inverted circles, and some strafing across the valley with loops and roles. I also practiced trying to get the timing down on my tock ticks. Finished up by spraying her off with compressed air.
I really wish my wife was here, because she could have used her Nikon and taken a nice picture of an inverted hover or something with the mountains in the background and the snow coming down. I couldn't get over how badass that looks. It is exceptionally awesome when you get close to the deck and you can see the snow flying up! Of course I am easily amused. You'll have to settle for this garbage cell selfie:

My E5 hit 302 flights today. I was so excited to pass the 300 mark that I flew 6 flights in gusts which measured at 22mph according to my weather station which I have on my fence post in the front yard.
Well she does pretty well in the wind- the main thing I notice when it's heavy like that is that the gusts require more collective corrections, that is to say, the heli loses or gains lift without the normal input.

Hey Cope, be careful with those plastic tail blades. I was running some Kbdd white 106's on my E7 in october, waiting for my rails to get here. Anyways I was up in the air, hit IU2 2200rpms, first blade snapped off its root almost hit me, second blade snapped off its root, I was unable to keep the blades out of the dirt, it wasn't bad but it was upsetting.
I believe the contributing factors were the high rpm and the cold making the blades brittle.
