Today I finally sold my car and recieved the Â£Â£ instantly. Â Makes me a happy man, and will most certainly help off the costs of t-rex electronics.

I also recieved spareparts for my honeybee + 2 extra batteries. Cant wait till theyre all charged. (takes loooong time)

And I visited my son at the kindergarden for …… fastelavn? Â Its a “piÃ±a colada” thing we have here and in Denmark.

Really missed the little guy.

No wonder why helis arent cheap

So. I ordered a T-Rex 450S CF with a carbon-frame. Should be here week after next week.

The 450S CF can be upgraded to match the 450SE (Superior Edition), so I will be replacing a part of two every time i replace broken parts (i WILL break parts).

So heres the beauty:

So. Got myself a blog :-P

Registered to the blog today, will be interesting to see for how long I will attend to it. lol

So. I am one of the few people in Greenland who is interested in rc helicopters.

The reason for me becoming interested was the free rc simulator FMS, in which i learned to hover with a joystick instead of a rc transmitter.

Bit by a mad heli, i ordered my first heli, the E-sky honeybee FP 3 monts ago. Now I’m upgrading to the T-Rex

I will update this blog with pictures and posts if I find the time (and willpower) for it.
