RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Chuck,
New guy or not, I'm very happy for you, sir. I know that you were worried... I'd have gone bonkers. My only wish now is to hear that Eddie is now employed. I pray for that nightly. It worked for you, I know it will work for Eddie.
Yeah, it's a new one, all right. I'll start building it tomorrow.

Scott, very jealous!!! That heli is on my short list of ones to get. Anybody want to buy a 600E??? As you might remember, I have the Furion 450 as does Eddie. They are sweet machines. My buddy has a Fury 55 which is basically the nitro version of the Furion 6. He LOVES his too. MA really knows what they are doing when they build a heli. What FBL unit are you going to go with?

Batteries are going to be a sore point. Costly. I'm probably going to get some Blue 5S 4000's or 5000's * 4, but Ihaven't really decided. I know I'm not using an ESC so power is going to be straight from a 2sflight pack. Motor.. probably a Scorpion or Hyperion 4035 560. ESC looks like a Castle ICEHV 85. I'll probably shoot for 21 or 2200 governed RPM's. Blades... Edge 623 or Mavrikk 620 FBL blades.
Get one, bro!!!

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Wow Scott - a 600! Very nice.
Hey, Ivan. Which way is the pin out on the HK "naked" Rx? No info came with it & the forum on HK is very confusing. I think the neg (-) pin is at the top of the connector looking down on the PCB with the parts showing. Which end is BATT (P0.7 or P2.1)?
Thanks.
Chuck

Anyhow, I'm very happy for you, Eddie!!!!

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
From a couple pages back... I finished and maidened my F-117A. It flies fairly well. I wish I had a bit more elevator throw but I have it maxed out and loops still are not tight enough. Aileron rolls are really quick and surprisingly axial. I can get it to go so slow in the air it starts to fall backwards!! Overall, I am pretty pleased with the build. I will have to get some colors on it now.

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Philly - buy one of the micros for fooling around in the house just to keep the thumbs loose. Ya' it ain't the same as firing up a 600 outside but it's something
Alex - thanks. Can't wait to see the twin in action. Spring better come soon. I've been home 5 days & had to shovel snow 4 of them!
Scott - like Eddie said mixed blessing. I was going crazy around here except for when I was flying the heli any time I wanted!! I'll be working for Siemens as an application engineer. Not my ideal job but the heli money will flow again! I can't wait to see how you like the 600 EP.
Thanks, Bill. I guess I'm not ready to retire yet! I'm not sure I ever will be.
Ivan - way cool F-117A. That is one of my favs!
Chuck
Alex/Ivan - so the top pin in my pic in neg(-) the mid pin is pos (+) & bottom is signal. Which end is the BATT channel - near the bind plug or the other end?

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
FNG's (Chuck and Eddie),
Yep, cash flow, baby!!! I can understand mixed blessings. I guess I've been lucky in my life. Since leaving the Navy in 1983, I've been unemployed a grand total of 12 weeks. One was my own doing (I quit a job I had been with for 15 years), the second, my whole department got canned extremely rudely by EDS after they bought SDRC. I still have a very bad taste in my mouth about that one. I did learn a lot about myself during that time, though. I found that a large part of my identity is wrapped up in what I do and my employer. I don't know if that's right or not, but being without portfolio was quite disturbing for me.
I think you and I are around the same age Chuck, so please excuse me if my "identity issues" spill over on you. It's not my intent at all. I am very happy for both and Eddie even though you are FNG's, though.
Scott

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Scott - you forced me to use the urban dictionary again - FNG (Thanks, Maxx!). LMAO I was at the last place 18 yrs. It will be hard to learn the new job, the new people, etc.
I've been out 10 months this time, 10 months last time, 4 months the time before. You & I need to figure out how to be more like Bill!
Ivan & Alex - did you have any trouble with those Rxs? One won't bind at all. Of course, they want me to send it back to China for 10 bucks even tho it only cost $7.95!!! Good thing I wasn't planning on using them for the new heli!

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Chuck your job life sounds like mine. Been out 6 months so far, this time, 8 months last time.
The tough part is that here the unemployment rate is 12.4%
Several employers have gone to group interviews, what a pain that is.
I still do not know what the benafit to the employer that is.

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Chuck, I have used probably over twenty of those RXs and have had not one issue. In the picture you posted above, the top is neg, center is pos and bottom is signal. All the way left is batt / bind and then working right THR, AIL, ELE, RUD, GEAR, AUX1. It is set up just like an AR6110e

When Chrysler was facing going out of business we faced our contract going away, too. It was terrifying being in Michigan. Still, if something happened, we'd probably have to move. This oil price stuff is scary. None of the big three are completely ready for it. So, we go day by day.
Keep your chin up, sir. It WILLwork out.

RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
Eddie, good to hear from you! congratulations on getting job..that's awesome!!!
Chuck, congrats man that's fantastic
i heard that HobbyKing is going to open a customer service/return thing in the states
Ivan, what a smooth plane, I loved watching it fly. You should put something lik a 50-foot kitetail on it, it would probably be so smooth it's look like it was going through water [8D]
Alex, glad you're getting flying in
scott, that's an awesome new bird!!!! Can't wait to see it completed!!
Got a pack in today, there are like 10mh winds though and I didn't feel totally comfortable doing nose-in like that so I just flew it back and forth and worked on banked turns for awhile. I'll fly another one later once it's done charging, and if I can convince somebody I'll take a vid.
