“Closed Cell inserts for Bashing Hi Cubby, I really like the ProLine Trenchers for bashing, but less so after they filled with sand. I made a few holes in the tires to let the sand out, but that’s not very good for the foams. I noticed the pre-mounted Trencher 2.8’s have standard white foam. And there I thought that Closed Cell foams were the [...]

Raging Rotors: More Than Meets The Eye…

Hey Guys, Tomato Sauce here! Missed you last week due to an opportunity to work for a big RC Company, and sadly my carry-on could only carry so much contraband stuff. Lately I have been doing a lot of product spotlights and how-tos, but this week I feel a little Cubby-esque and thought I’d borrow his soapbox. I was enjoying the beautiful [...]

Raging Rotors: Surely You Can’t Be Serious!

…Of course I’m serious, and don’ t call me Shirley! Indeed Airplane! is a great movie, but why bring it up, you ask? As both pilots became ill, it was up to Otto Pilot to take control of the plane and fly towards their destination. In the world of multirotors, fully autonomous design is an ideal goal: Amazon wants to deliver local packages, [...]

Raging Rotors: Blade Runner, Part 2: It’s All About Balance

In this week’s conclusion to ‘Blade Runner’ we discuss an important aspect of multirotor and airplane flight, propeller balancing. Granted an unbalanced propeller doesn’t keep something from flying, but it can cause propeller based failures as well as increased noise due to the blade imperfections. There are two parts to propeller balancing: Horizontal and Vertical Balancing. To start, one needs a [...]

Now that the weather has been better and the first installment of the build project up for your viewing, I started spending time with my Blade 350QX,  and couldn’t help but start looking at modifications and changes.
