I figured if I told him to keep pushing he would put it in... He is way overdue for a crash... So dissapointed..... But congratulations are in order.. well done !

 

Crazy effort man! I'm lucky to do 50 flights in a month lol.

 

I gotta say.... my brain is bleeding atm... lol

 

Do you have a smack video with the 380 somewhere?

 

@The Dude has my camera, he is doing some mods. Soon @iggy i will have some video to post....

 

That ain't right. You must be a @Crash Heligod sympathizer.

 

Is @smakmeharder trying to achieve Heligod status? 50 packs? That sounds like a near-supernatural act to me!
Smakmeharder Heligod..... seems possible.

 

.....or would that be Goblin Heligod?

 

Deductive reasoning dictates that number is obviously greater than 350. Go for 500 @smakmeharder !!

 

Yes @Beaver i think at 500 i am going to pull the pin and change the belts. I will also post photos of how the belts look at 500 flights and see what you think. Thats if i get there of course. I know @Crash Heligod is so eager to bury my heli at the moment. Every flight i feel him breathing over my shoulder. Make s me focus even more!!!

 

50 Hard smak flights in one day and not meeting up with crash heligod @smakmeharder!!! That my boy deserves "legendary status"!! well done.

 

@Burgo crash nearly had me twice that day. I was just lucky... the wind plus the repetition and trying something new - the dying light. I know some people say its stupid - and probably right to some extent. But i just wanted to see how far i can push this heli and myself i guess....I can now change a battery pack in under 20 seconds...lol

 

Endurance Heligod?

 

Maybe stupid heligod.... lol.. I never won a trophy and melted my packs... But it was fun.

 

Pushing the limits of man and machine...... that's the stuff legends are made of.

 

A pakathon 'The Heligods Pakathon - raising money for {insert your favorite charity here}' could be a good money raiser, you get sponsored for every pack you fly, like one dollar. I think mere mortals would be lucky to do twenty. I'm not sponsoring @smakmeharder though - that's one for the wood ducks, he'll probably do 100 next time....He's a machine.

LOL, i missed this post @simon Hey thats a great idea! what about getting people to get their club to make a fund raiser instead of selling chocolates! lol.

Anyway the 380 Goblin finally developed a fault.

The tail bearing ended up wearing and creating 3mm lateral slop on the tail shaft. Not bad, the total amount of flights got to 425 (i flew every day on the home run). I could still fly it but its time to change the belts and give her a once over....

 

425, huh? Impressive! 3mm lateral slop on tail shaft.... that would make tail pitch a bit wobbly wouldn't it?
