Ahh, ok, I see! I was gonna say... I spent that just trying to get the wires to stay where I wanted them =/.

I honestly made an audible "awwww" when I saw that =/. Wasn't you though? OMFG, ether way, I feel so sorry for you or whoever this happened to. Sucks, but it's part of the game I guess.

10-20 synthetic? Ohh snap, well that's easy!

I have pretty much every kind of oil at my disposal. My Father owns a machine shop so he has every weight oil you can imagine. Our family also has a lot of firearms. So we have an abundance of gun oil of all kinds. Tell me the best weight oil for the job and I'll have my dad get me some if we...

.2? you're better than me then! lol

I have a lot of light gun oil. These are the bearings I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/Traxxas-Bearing-3x6x2mm-Alias-Helicopter/dp/B00J5V0XSE/ref=pd_sim_t_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0X4XJXAXC0FBHEX5EFY2 So light gun oil, once a month or so?

Precisely the reason I bought it :)

Yup, I'm good huh?

Hey guys, I'm new to Quadrotors. My first and only quad (so far) is a LaTrax Alias. I just thought I'd share the experiences I had in my first days of quading. (not sure if that's a word) Well the first thing I learned was a valuable lesion about wind on my very first flight. DON'T FLY IN IT...
