In Phoenix try going into edit screen under model and select detailed. Go to fine tuning and up the value for tip stall tuning. That should help. 
I was looking at FPV stuff and found this. http://fpvpilot.com/UsedFPVProducts.aspx I am seriously considering it.

Thanks! I think that will help.
That's a great deal man - you should get it. :bounce1: Heck, it would be hard to get all the FPV stuff for that price.
I think I found a good replacement engine for the Cap.

While it's down I'm going to recover it and put a new set of graphics on it as well.

I emailed the guy with some questions about it and am waiting to hear back. That heli new without the FPV stuff is worth over $500. Of course it is used but still not a bad deal.
That is a cool looking engine. I am sorry about your other one. That was the best sounding nitro 2 stroke I have ever heard. At least the plane made it back in one piece.

It's pretty powerful, and should be heavy enough to balance out the plane properly. Good price too. No worries on the engine, now I will routinely check head bolts and other screws on my engines
It did sound pretty sweet though. The gasser will be cheaper to run long term, I didn't think that tank would ever fill up yesterday :lolspin:Hopefully everything checks out with the FPV system. That would be awesome to have
Mike's new rule - no flying over the cedar trees :lol:

Do it, you will have a blast. It takes a little while to get used to flying with the goggles, but it is really cool. I use rangevideo.com for most stuff.

I'm still thinking about it but there are a couple of snags. First, he sold the ground station and only has the heli he will sell for $500. Not quite as good of a deal but still pretty good. Also, the guy who has the FPV plane at the field is having problems with 900mhz there. We think it is the cell tower that is pretty close. He has some sophisticated stuff and it works very well at other locations but not at our field. Thanks for the link, I have several I have been looking at lately. Mind boggling all the options.

Yea, sounds like some sort of interference around there. I used 900mhz stuff also. You could use 2.4 ghz, but that could interfere with the radios and the signal is not as good as the 900mhz. There are tons of options out there now,it pretty amazing. When I started using it we had to DIY most things ourselves.
