Summary of the day: Ripped out the gear of my Aeroplus 76" Edge in a dumb thumb in a torque roll. Browned-out my 104" AJ Slick and almost crashed it. Spent the rest of the day trying to reproduce the problem. Not the greatest day at the field. :(

Spent the day dlying in Magnolia, AR at the IMAC contest. Then flew three more flights after everybody was done. Total of 6 flights today :)

One more round in the morning. If it goes as well as my first round today, ai may be able to take home 3rd place.

You are 100% right with the 7200BX. VBar, iKon, Spartan, Brain all have vibe log ability.
I've been seriously considered getting an iKon. Maybe once I get over all the money I just spent fixing the Trex and buying the Goblin.

Spektrum suggests spooling the helicopter up without main or tail blades to check for vibration. I decided to do that today since I just changed all the gears, main and feathering shafts, and almost every bearing including the motor bearings and motor shaft. Boy, am I glad I did or my trip to the flying field tomorrow would have been very short.

At low throttle it was smooth as glass, but once I got to about 50% the motor started shaking something fierce. When I pulled it apart two of the magnets had shifted and through it horribly out of balance.

Liquid expo foamy flying at a party last night, turns into a boat ride @emtp275 and myself. @Paul Puszynski didn't make it to the pond, he got hung up in a tree :lol2: both Justin, and myself gave our foamies a bath. Tip of the day: Foamies, an water make MAGIC smoke
Tell Ms. Heather Thank you for taking pics, she caught me dipping tail, but pic didn't come out well.

Maidened my 30% Carden Cap232 today. Flies nice. Has a little bit of the cap snap but not bad. First flight was a shake down and to get my nerves out but the second flight I gave her hell. Not much of a 3D plane but scale aerobatics are good. Gonna through a smoke system on it to really have fun. Hovered it a couple times and the motor has good pull out but didn't do it much as the motor is still new.
