Well, its the video you have all been waiting for, our setup video of the Align FL-760 3G 3-Axis Gyro on a T-Rex 700. I know that I am not the best of doing these instructional videos, especially on camera, but I think I am getting better. We are interviewing for a new instructor so don’t worry…in the future it only gets better. This video basically goes over the full setup of the system. This video is very long…about 25 minutes but it goes into alot of detail and ends with a demo flight. The download is about 920 megs as well. Enjoy…this was 4 days in the making.

Let me get this off my chest right up front. I’m not a fan of the Dean’s Ultra connector. Yes, they’re the hobby standard, they’re inexpensive, and they work well, but they’re hard to get apart and they are a pain to solder correctly. Thus, I have changed all of my LiPo connectors over to [...]
