Nice, but there is hesitation in the mid-range. Things are improving!

Yeah I would have gone with the OFNA 086, but it's a high end pipe, and I run on a really tight track so I need more torque on the low end, I went with the OFNA 053.

I've heard good things about the buku pipe, at least their small block one, it was run in the offroad nationals a few years back.

Yeah I know all about it, I've got a Beam E4 with a Scorpion 2221-6, phoenix 60a, and I run a 4s lipo!

I'm not much of a pilot though, I've been practicing for about a year and a half on the sim... I still hover and do a little nose-in, I tried inverted with my blade 400 and destroyed it about 3 times before I decided I couldn't do it...

I'm afraid to fly me Beam, I don't want to murder it.

Here's some more of my fav videos found on tuber...

The trick to learning inverted is sim first, stalled loops second with plenty of height. You know what they say, "Fly it like you stole it"

EDIT: isn't he totally lucky he didn't hit the blades on that swift? That was totally badass by the way! never seen anything like it.

I think I can do stall turns, I'll have to try it..

What kind of heli do you have?

Here's another awesome video. I think it's Bobby Watts (pro pilot) flying a Bandit/MA 450. He chops up a foamie with the blades! Then does a wall landing!

LOOOOOOL!! Oh sh*t on it sh*t on it! Damn man, that was really sweet. Chopped it right up. I have a Logo10 and have flown it for several years getting progressively better but nothing like these guys. I can't hold an inverted hover very long but I can do loops and rolls and slow, stable flight in all orientations. I recently sold parts of the Logo however, so I will have to pick up on heli flying some other time.

Spudblaster15 you argue with everything I say no matter what it is about. I will tell you and everybody this, everything I've said about this topic works and works well. I know because I've done it, to many engines.

I have over 25 years experience that is hands on and race proven weather it be across the field or at a track. I just don't sit and listen to the elders and counter people talk about it,

I got hands on!

So go ahead and dispute it any way you can, that's what you do.

Yeah Jrrdw, I'm sure you have a lot of experience with engines, however, I think you should brush-up on your information about about 2-strokes.

I have years of experience in both 2 stroke and 4 stroke, probly more then you've been alive. If you disagree with me that's fine, but don't be flaming on me or riding the coat tails of someone that does.

@Spudblaster15, I find your comments directed towards me disrespectful, flaming and undeserving. It's one thing to disagree, it's another to be sarcastic with your disagreement.

As a moderator on this site and an experienced automotive mechanic, I would expect you to have some accurate knowledge, but most of what you state is garbage. I don't care how long you claim to have been 'doing this', false info is false info.

My guess? You've never touched a nitro engine in your life, and you're speculating based on methods applied to automobile engines. That's what your post indicates.
The above quoted sarcasm is not welcome or deserved. I am amazed at someone can be so full of himself to make a statement like that and think it's correct in any way what so ever.
