Birthday’s are great when you get to order your own presents from your spouse \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

So this year I was lucky enough to receive a Copter X Black Angel DFC Flybarless kit from eHirobo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This also came with an electronics pack including servos, ESC, motor and a CX-3X1000 Flybarless gyro, which I will put in the T-Rex, a separate CX-3X2000 Flybarless gyro for the Black Angel as well as a few other goodies that just happened to add themselves to the order.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

My birthday was a few months ago now, yet I have only just assembled the Black Angel, due to work commitments, holidays and fixing up the house.<\/p>\n

The kit went together pretty smoothly despite a complete lack of any instructions, I mainly used the images on the\u00a0eHirobo<\/a>\u00a0site for anything I was unsure of. I will dismantle it again and re-assemble using the supplied CA glue and thread lock before connecting up all the servo linkages.<\/p>\n

I wrote all the text up to this point back in August, yet never actually published it, mainly because I had not yet taken any pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Since then I have also received some OrangeRX<\/a> 6 channel receivers from Hobby King<\/a>\u00a0for $6.99 (about \u00a33.50 each) I actually bought them from their Netherlands warehouse as the UK warehouse never has them in stock, 4 of these plus some servo wires was only $2.79 (about \u00a31.80) P&P.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also bought some Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 3S 25-50C LiPo<\/a> batteries in a separate order from the Hobby King<\/a> UK warehouse, as someone had a “buddy code” on the Hobby King forum<\/a>, that allowed me to buy up to 3 for $11.24 each (about \u00a37.20) instead of the usual $18.19 (about 11.60).<\/p>\n
