Trex 600, 450 and 600 AirWolf.

Sun, 10 Jun 2007

QuietRiot from RCgroups met up with me today. Let me get some photo's of his heli's and showed them off for me. We have some high-rez photo's of his Trex 450, Trex 600 and Trex 600 scale AirWolf. Little did I know he would con me into flying my first CP. The 600 of course! Once I hovered the 600, the 450 was just "cute" and not intimidating. Watching the lights and landing gear on the Wolf go with the switches on the TX is amazing.
Here is photo's of them, and video of him flying. (no video of my hovering). QuietRiot possesses "chris style flying powers".
However, watch closely on the AirWolf video- something goes astray.

Thanks for the good time man~
Jamie
