It is Official
« on: December 14, 2017, 12:00:59 PM »
I am very excited to say that I now own a 766.  Funds have been transferred and I now eagerly await the arrival of my new to me Heli.  It is orange with a tail boom cover.  It also comes with motor and speed control.  I need to buy a set of servos for it.  I have a NEO and Battery ID and UI that I can put on it.  I will be putting Xpert servos on it.  I also need to decide which brand of battery to go with for this machine. 

I have been debating the purchase since the machine was introduced.  I am very happy one is on its way.

Gratz Roger!  It's a great flying model, that's very versatile.

I liked it so well, I got a second one....but not stretching it....as I no longer have a 700....766 and 806.  8)

Congrats Roger! It's Christmas and I needed a present so mine will be here on Friday. I got a Carey Shurley gas conversion coming for mine, though, with a VX310.

Nice Chris.  I would be interested in how the conversion goes together.

I'll post some photos of the build, Rog. Matt has a gasser, and a few other folks have them. But I guess I haven't seen any real build threads on a 766 yet. Despite the cost of the conversion kit, I think it will come in cheaper than an electric build with batteries factored in. And the performance is almost nitro level with the Toxic VX320TT under the hood. I got the Toxic VX310 Sports engine for mine because I plan on using it for UAV and didn't really want the "hot" port timing of the TT engines.

From all reports, and talking with Carey and Matt directly about what I wanted, the gasser conversion is pretty straight forward.

My new to me 766 has arrived.  I am checking it out now and putting it back together as I go.  I have the head assembly mounted and secured.  This machine is huge.  I thought my N7 was big......the 766 is BBBBIIIIIGGGGGGG!

I think I am going to like this machine a lot.

Hi Richard,  the 766 is still awaiting its power source. Batteries are on order and should be delivered on Monday.

  I did finally get the cyclic servos.  We had a problem with the post office and forwarding of mail.  Thankfully they arrived back in Illinois after two round trips to Arizona.  We normally spend the deep winter months and spring in Arizona but had to cancel this year.  Winter is definitely curtailing my flying field visits.  I have my 516 that is also not flying because of winter. 

One good thing is that the White Sox have started Spring Training which means flying season is gonna be here shortly.

The battery for my 766 came today.  Connectors swapped out.  I need to get some Velcro to mount the packs to the mounting plate and I will be ready for a flight.  Maiden for me........getting kinda nervous.
