Happy Easter Everybody. When I moved to the Midwest, I found I don't need a Jaguar anymore. I also don't need a lot of fancy data to worry about or expensive backlights to enjoy watching my planes fly. All I needed was a Power on Light, something Spektrum Dx6i's surprisingly never came with. Here's how to add your own for only 99 cents and 20 min. time with LED and Resistor Specs.

Hi all. You know I love my mQX Quad-Copter more than many of my machines. I did not think I flew it that much, but in reality, in approximately 50 flights, I had a double motor failure!
I thought it was the mixing board, but Horizon Hobby said I needed 2 motors and promptly sent them out no charge. I was curious if it really was a motor problem. See how to change the motors quickly. Thanks. ~NightFlyyer~

About RC History, Latest RC inventions, Military, Local news and more.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel, let's look back and try to improve the original designs. It would be more productive.

Hello friends and welcome.My Mission:
Teach beginners and youngsters some R/C History, so they learn from us, instead of trying to re-invent the wheel all over.
If we keep going forward, we will get promoted in life.
When I first started making videos for You tube, I did it to pass on some (Trial and Error Experience) that I learned on to you with some history.
I have tried to help folks with all kinds of RC problems and keep making videos to show how something works. I developed my 9 HELICOPTER RULES OF THUMB to help as many beginner heli pilots as I could. Here is the link.
http://www.youtube.com/nightflyyer#p/u/43/M8Xj4azCX5k
Being credited and published for having invented the first Tail-Rotorless Helicopter over 20 years ago and selling the idea to Kyosho in Japan, I have continued to pursue my belief, that : "If it sounds stupid, but it works, It ain't stupid"!
Most recently for example, I have modified 1 airplane and 5 different helis from small to big with 1 rotor blade proving my theory that they are quieter and use less power than multi bladed helis.
I also have made several versions with No Tail rotor that are also successful.
The comments and private messages due to my videos and experiments have become overwhelming of which I can NO longer physically keep up. Please do not take this that I am not concerned, because I am. I am honored and humbled.
Remember, I made all those vids to help and if you do some searching, you will find my video on it and the answers to your questions.
Remember, CRASHES are a needed and important part of the learning curve.
EVERY FLIGHT is a TEST and every CRASH is a LESSON!
"If in doubt, ROLL out, because FULL UP does not save anything"!
* Advise for the NOVICES that think they need upgrades before learning to fly...." If it ain't broke, don't fix it and upgrades will not help you fly better!
If you believe they will, let me tell you about a bridge on the Moon, I have for sale! LOL
Wait till you break it, as most novices would not be able to recognize any improvements when learning helis anyway!
As of Feb 10, 2012, I have had my videos viewed by 42,,200,000 people. That is over 42 MILLION !
Note. Please refrain from making comments or posting videos that don't pertain to my videos. That's fair, right?
I've spent a lot of time and money in my lifetime on models, learning how to fly these to the point that manufacturers trust me to be HONEST in my reviews.
*Note: I bought 95% of the machines you see in my videos.
I will do everything I can to try to help you with your RC equipment and show you some RC history too.
Also,." Friend Requests" will NOT BE APPROVED, if you are NOT SUBSCRIBED TO ME. That's only fair too, right?
One of my motto's is: "He who dares nothing, need not expect anything!".
So for that reason, I try it all, no matter how hard it seems, just to find out for sure.
Experience:
Previously a Helicopter design engineer for Kyosho.
Director, Sibley, RC Special Effects team
Pilot/Instructor and Movie producer.
I ran a successful Chemical company in Newport Beach, California for 20 years, before retiring and moving to the Midwest.
I flew RC models in movies, including "BLUE THUNDER" with John Simone, Mike Mas, and Roy Scheider.
I was a beta tester for the very first REAL FLIGHT simulator, by Great Planes. (Concept 30 gas helicopters was my project)
I wrote ALL the "NIGHT FLYING" , plus many "How to" articles and Helicopter Product Review articles for Model Airplane News magazines, Model Aviation, RC Report, Radio Helicopter Europe Plus many others in the 70's.
I am the FOUNDER of the 1st TOYS FOR TOTS RC model airplane show in history for the USMC, raising thousands of
$ worth of toys for Charity.
In the '70s I worked on the "SIGNATURE SERIES" line as a technical engineer for the first Radio Control system's manufacturer in the USA, KRAFT SYSTEMS, VISTA, CA.
I also flew and placed in top 4 at the National RC MULTI-WING AEROBATIC CHAMPIONSHIPS at Omaha, Neb., 4 years in a row, using Lou Andrews' Nitro engined Aeromaster biplanes and Bill Evans' Astron X-Wings.
I received the ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS SUPERIOR SERVICE AWARD.
My AMA number is 8221. I'm a contest director(CD)and Leader Member (LM) in the Scientific division.
I was a HARDWARE SUPPORT ENGINEER for Burroughs (now Unisys) computer systems in the '70s.
I'm a retired USMC AVIONICS SPECIALIST on RF4B Phantom Jets, and CH-53 Helicopters. (33 Years)
I am also currently a UAV consultant for several gov't projects..
"Semper Fi".
Please subscribe for many new and exciting machines I will be testing and reporting on.
