@ Brad-- you may want to avoid looking at the pic..

@Adam hope you dont mind me posting this here--
can it be the PL 'All things RC' thread??

new member from Texas-

As always I am recruiting 24/7 for a TEXLEM 11 someplace-sometime -anyplace anytime--

anyhoo-

I mentioned a lot about SELEM including the growing number of members flying-- Turns out - It looks like he and his friends have it all going on.
I told him if I posted this to expect 'SHOW MORE PICS'


So if you guys want to see more from-- Pflugerville TEXAS-coz I see a Email with an attachment mentioning 'RC and laser show'...

'Digital' is a retired commercial pilot (iirc)< bet that came in handy..

= I also see some progress pics of a eight motor heli -made from scratch-DIY

hak

nice job with the camera --too

[buffo]

Looks like there will be quite a lot of RC gear at SELEM this year! (sounds like fun!)

LED blades sure look cool, but they're expensive.

My V912's should be here imminently! The spare LiPo's arrived today, and they were all shipped around the same date.

HERE are three more pics-

His heli resembles a Rockfish or Stonefish or one of those fishes from extreme depths that 'lights up' The Stonefish IIRC is deadly venomous- you never want to step on one from what I had read--

Knowning next to nothing I do not know but think this heli did not look like this when purchased-- I will ask--

*********************************

FYI

AixiZ Laser(.com) has four sizes of red modules- Small- smaller- itsy bitsy and one slightly bigger than a cooked grain of rice

(SAID to be the worlds smallest)-

< 1-2-3 & 5 mW (approx.)@ 3vdc- the 5mW version is also there in 405nm. I would think you could run several from a single 14500 Li-Ion 3,7 vdc(same size and approx weight of a 'aaa' primary batt. or button batts might also work and be even lighter.

BrB
w/ the weights of these- links- etc- btw also- the two 'larger' ones are focusable- as is the 405 version--.

I'm in the same impatient boat. The batteries got here a few days ago and every afternoon I'm hoping for the mailman to come walking into my office with a box.

[buffo]

I've been waiting since the end of February for the extra batteries I ordered to go with my V912. They still haven't arrived. I need to send another nasty-gram to BangGood and get them to re-send the order, since it's clearly lost...

First V912 and Tx arrived today, along with the spares kit. So I can at least fly, whilst I wait for the 'spare' chopper to arrive and the camera and water cannon!
And I can charge 2x LiPo simultaneously using my existing charger and the supplied one!

One nice thing I immediately spotted when i ripped open the box at work is that the Tx has a knob in the middle of the faceplate that looks like the on/off switch. However, this is actually a mode1/mode2 selector, making it almost instant to switch flying modes, no messing around inside! Not sure if this is different from yours Adam, but seems it might be based on the conversation earlier in this thread.

Been a good day for packages actually, 4x scanner sets, 2x teeny tiny 2W Laserwave OEM-V-SS 532 heads, lots of dichros and mirrors, bounce mirror holders, line gratings, etc, etc...

More expected tomorrow and Friday!
