Is Nitro Addictive?

[Chuck Bole]

 Would you like a BLS 255Hv? I have 1 set on my N7 and a spare set of 3. Was planning on putting one on the throttle of my N7. So ill have a couple spare ones.

 Is nitro addictive? Not to toot my own horn, but yes. Just got back into nitro a few weeks ago. Been all electric since 2005/ 2006. I converted a Stratus to E power back in the day. Went to a N9 shortly after that 2007 i think.
converted that to electric. So on and so on. Anyway i'm really digging the N7. Never thought i go back to nitro.
But here i go and enjoying it. Matt really hit one out of the park on this heli.

Let me know about the servo.

Sure will take one off your hands if you would like to part with it. It would match up nicely. Just let me know how much? And how you would like me to send the money.

Thanks Chuck

 PM me your address.
Just buy me a burger and a drink next time we run into each other at a funfly or Ircha next year and we're even.

Is nitro addictive...lol I have burned roughly 40 gallons this year, my wife thinks I need to go to rehab for my nitro addiction!

Awesome meeting you at Ircha Barry, fun pitting next to you. I use the Formeco switch on my n7, I run straight 2s lipo to my futaba bls272hv ( pretty much same as 255) and almost 400 flights has been a very reliable setup!

That's a ton of nitro! Your must have an awesome wife!
Yeah can't wait to get the N7 up and running! Thanks for all the tips and tricks. It was great to see how quick you can recover. Working to put the IRCHA crashed E7 back together first. Lots of bent parts she hit in hard, glad it was the last day! Not in a big hurry as the E5 is going strong.

Another vote for nitro!

For years I was nitro, and then had to jump into electric.

I got a Furion 6 -- thing hot started for some reason and scared me to death.   Ever since I was paranoid about working on it, triple checking that the motor was disconnected....  After running 2 batteries down to single digit charge, and $180, I decided to go back nitro.

Even Bobby Watts said his favorite day is to go to the field with a gallon of nitro.   No charger /  generator / swapping batteries.   Just keeping the mosquitos at bay

Nitro is the way to go. I have a mix of both nitro and electrics and nitro gets a lot more flying time for sure.

Can't wait to try it!  Less than a year to fly it at IRCHA! Hoping I get it together sooner than week before!

I picked up a matching cyclic servo so I'm set there.
Seems like the push glows are out of stock.

Where do you get a 4000 mah receiver pack? 2s lipo?

I use both of these but they're both listed as out of stock right now.  Looks like the Pulse are supposed to be back in stock soon.

This is another, more expensive, option:

Here are a couple of other options:
