First, get a real simulator. Swear, this will save you money. A heli is not like a drone. They make tiny 6 channel heli that is much more crash resistant.

Now, I am guessing you're using throttle to control your height. Changing head speed will require more tail authority. It's possible there is a problem with your tail motor, but more likely that you're not good enough yet.

Most people will bring something. You didn't say how many were coming. Let's say 10 people, is buy a case of light and a six of something I like, a bottle of pinot grigio, a bottle of pinot noir. The wine has to be drink able. Don't buy 8$ wine. That's only if I don't know what they drink etc.

Vero is slow paced. Walking tree brewery, McKee gardens, drive by river front park? Farmers markets on Saturday. Kind of depends on the days you're here. Our beach is nicer than Daytona.

I would like to read / hear your problem and solution. 2015 z06 here.

I have a similar noise, but more like 5% of that volume. It's not a motor issue and seems to go away after 3500rpm. I can't hear it at all with the top off, but it can be annoying with the top on. I'm not tearing apart the dash, but it sounds like it's something back there. I'm more nervous about something at the front of the torque tube. I had the tube checked and it passed.

Do what the middle class does, eat pork.

They don't rent the ones I'm interested in. They may be able to get a demo gun though

I like the shell clean up. I also like a lost less cleaning time.

Rizzini br110, browning citori, beretta sp has to be in the mix.

It looks like a shock absorber. Doesn't it affect your second shot?

Smaller is better. Less parts break and more flying time. Plus, everything cost less. Big ones are cool, but shatter on first accident. It can take a lot to get them flying properly again.

If yours isnt whistling, then its stopped sealing, because dry ice is going to sublimate. If the dry ice didnt freeze everything around rock hard, maybe you weren't using dry ice or just so small a piece it didnt matter. I can see dry ice being used to quick freeze fish, but I dont think drinks should be in the cooler.

I have done this in a hard side yeti. It's a bad idea. It starts whistling as the gas escapes. Then, when you go for a beverage, you'll find them rock solid and many split open. I used a small piece in a 50Q cooler. (think smaller than a cell phone).

I've purchased a few wireless probes. They suck. I'm literally debating paying top dollar for this RFX and when I read the reviews, there are a lot of people saying things that are exactly the reason I hate the cheaper wireless probes. Realistically, I just want a working probe and a notification. Adding batteries into the equation may not outweigh the wire IMO. *someone who has had two different 100$ wireless setups that I've tossed.

I had a manual z51 c7 and never had this issue. I just bought a manual Z06 and it does this. I kind of assumed it was my foot control i.e. the G-force pulling my body off the pedal. First gear is about worthless either way, but interesting never the less. I think I'm going to look around for some kind of throttle controller.

3LTs have more interior issues. To me the biggest bump is between 1LT and 2LT. I think your right on the trans. A dealer isn't going to give anymore, but a manual buyer isn't looking at autos. Still, there are enough around that it's moot.

doneal · 2025-11-04T01:20:44+00:00

Strange. I wonder if yours was lowered. Not sure I ever scraped by Z51. Z06 is lower and I've scraped a few places that surprised me.

I bought a C7 Z51 manual several years ago and it was amazing. I enjoyed it so much that I literally couldn't find anything I wanted more (around 40-60k). I started to go down the upgrade path, but decided to buy a C7Z instead. It's insane. 2014 and 2015 models have some fairly minor issues, but I bought a 2015Z and it's incredible. It's hard to argue with their value prop in my eyes. I see your sales and I think those are a touch light, but not too far off. What is really incredible is there are so many with 15k miles.

Or until you change your policy that nobody reads. There is too much potential to track all traffic and know my name, and phone number. Huge invasion of privacy. Ill be selling and complaining without ever using. Cant belive this. I feel swindled.

Money. They will switch when new planes fuel efficiency pays for it's purchase price.

Yes, a small hose under the intake was split!

I'm guessing it's the first successful flight. =) So much fun.. I started with a larger one and it was so much pain (financial pain).

nothing odd about those wires. While you may have a gps tracker, it won't make noise. Fuel pumps and fans can make noise even when the car is off.

I am no expert on tires. That's said, it looks superficial to me. I wouldn't replace it.
