Best Engine bearing I have ever used...

IJK bearing.

I have never had more than 60flights on my hyper before requiring a bearing change. I tried EZO, NTN, SNK...all got rough pretty soon. The IJK last so much longer. My first one went through over 60flights and I changed it for peace of mind, it was still butter smooth when I got it out. My last one lasted almost 90flights. It was still usable when I changed it, just not as smooth as a new one.

Realflight G4

Its been a while since I last updated...exams and school project...anyway...

"upgraded" from G3.5 TO G4 and I can honestly say...its pretty much pointless unless you have a pc with good graphic card. I am using a cheap geforce 7300 and sad to say, I can't use the added graphical effects like bloom effect, dynamic shadow, soft shadow and water flying on rendered field. Its a slight improvement from G3.5 in the sense that with the G4, I can run highest setting on everything except shadow at medium and still get around 40-50fps on photo field. With G3.5, I couldn't run any shadow and still get smooth frame rate.

As for flying...the video says it all.

Welded muffler.

Got my muffler done at a aluminium welding shop. Works the same as before despite being out of shape. 15flights since the job and it appears to be holding fine.

What happened? I crashed and had to cut the muffler to get it back to shape.
