Mustang from Lelong







This is my friend mustang. The size is quite small but the detail is there. The plane is made from soft foam reinforced with balsa inside the fuselage. But the tail section entirely made from foam. So this mustang cannot take hard landing. Need a little work to assemble since it need rudder assembly and some modification on wing due to missing support to attach to the fuse.

F4U Corsair by LanYu

A friend ask me to fly his Corsair last Fridays. Everything stock setup with brushed motor, radio and nicd battery. This model by Lan Yu. A little bit underpowered and require full throttle to take her off. Landing a bit rough due to very tick weeds.

Assan GA410 Gyro

This is unbiased review of ASSAN GA410 gyro since I bought this gyro personally on my own money. No string attach.

I've give this gyro a quick test this morning and one thing that I can say boy I'm wrong..GA410 perform very well. Tail hold steadily in normal or idle up mode. Piro rate is good and fast. Tail stop firmly on rudder stick command.

Setup is fairly easy the same setup with GY401:
  1. First set in your radio dual rate mode in gyro menu. Gyro and normal. In gyro mode dial in 50% and in normal mode 50%.
  2. Then setup your tail servo and find it's center position. Turn on the radio and power up ur heli. Switch to normal mode. Set your tail to slightly 5 degree to the right.
  3. Check your tail travel and set servo travel on the gyro.
  4. That's it. Switch in Gy mode and set in your gyro sens. Mine is at 37%.

Flasher 450 PE





This is the a sneak preview of Flasher 450 PE yet another Trex SE clone but with attitude. It's super cheap and comes with CF frame and FG blade and some CNC part. It's already 95% from completion just waiting for the gyro installation. I'm going to use GA410 from ASSAN and it's already here on my desk.

This is my setup:
Align 3550kv motor (12T pinion)
40A Turnigy ESC
3xMG HXT servo
1 hitec tail HS56

Extra EF updates

Finally my extra took off from the ground..maiden laa.. last friday. Maiden by Ilham and after few trims and land I take over. Fuh..I really like my EF. 3D flying is as expected and after few prop hangs (1/3 throttle required..fuh) and rojak 3D I take her down. I'm so supprice that I was able to put her down gently on the ground by doing harrier landing. It's like someone put her down on a spot. A true spot landing..Sadly no video this time..will take video next time. Thanks Ilham..
