Dont feel bad I once tried to track blades for a hour with them on backwards. Even flew it like that.

Your quote must be from a VietNam Huey pilot who used to fly OV10's and got involantarily transferred....LOL.

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
Those of you using a dx7, are you using the 6100e with the plugs on the end or the normal one with plugs on top? Seems like the end would make more sense, but wanted to make sure. I accidently bought a Dx7 yesterday so I figured I might as well get the receiver today.

Haha, I agree. I really didn't mean it. I search ebay everyday, yesterday I found an auction ending for a brand new mode 2 heli version. I have been seeing them go for $160 or so in the for sale forums used. So I figured I would bid $160 and lose. Bid then went home from work. Got up this morning and won. With shipping It is $180, but I don't mind paying an extra $20 for a new full warrany version. Plus the ones in the for sale forums are gone in about 5 minutes, so it seems like a pretty good price.

You did pretty good (not terrible at least). I dont see me moving up to a DX7 unless I move to nitro or 500 sized electrics....then I figure it's a must. Since I'm running a 400, the DX6 fills the bill nicely, and I have 4 AR6000's and none of which work on the DX7...just my luck. Retail, over $200 worth of RX's. The DX6 has it's drawbacks but the benefits far outweigh them and ANYTHING is better than a stock radio that comes with these heli's. I don't get it. Some people fly these stock radios over a year and never have a problem. I generally have glitching happen after the first week, the radio is trash within a month. I got about 4 or 5 stock radios in a box that I've gutted for resistors/LED's/ and POT's/switches...etc, saves me a trip to radioshack (LOL).

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
Good Afternoon,
I frayed the belt on my HBK, and now I have to replace it. It looks pretty bad and it was smoking when I shut the heli down.
This was with the stock motor so I don't think I 'overpowered' it. It looks like the belt sliped out of the belt guide on the pulley side, so I assume it got loosened some how.
Since I have to replace the belt, I figured I would go ahead and get the Extreme 42 tooth rotor pulley, and extended belt from USHobbySupply.com. I also picked up a hardened feathering shaft, and a pair of the Titanium Turnbuckles for the pitch arms.. I don't like to pop off the ball links, I already ruined the swash plate on a Walkera because my indelicate meathooks are hard to control sometimes.
Also going down to the LHS to pick up my HHG..

This will be my first computer Tx. Was going to get the DX6i but I figured for a little more, it will be there if I ever need it. I have actually had pretty good luck with my stock tx. I have had it 4 months and still works good. Probably just luck of the draw. I just feel like now that my flying is progressing, I would like the benefit of being able to customize curves and settings. Subtrim is also something I want. My wife will probably kill me though.

I haven't heard anything good or acceptable from people who own the DX6i. I know a guy who got one with a T-Rex...he HATED it (LOL). DX6 is good for what it is, the DX7 is better and proven. Good move NOT getting a DX6i.

Lochief....FUTABA...the greatest name in R/C electronics in my book. Over 20 years using them, never a failure or glitch...it's just the way it is.

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
Thanx for the input Vic.I tend to lean more towards the 7c,then the dx7.Extra rx's are a bit more spendy for the futaba's,but the fasst system just smokes the dx whatevers,IMHO.I'm also gonna get me a real hhg too.Just don't know which one for the king II.I will probably run the 2100 logitech on my 450.I'll figger out my shopping list in the next week or two,then do it.

REAL HHG's draw LOTS of power, like the ones for .30 gassers and up. They have real electro/mechanical internals unlike the solid state gyros. Do your homework before buying, and it might save your wallet. I'll read up on the 7C and see what they're all about. I had a choice between a 6EXH or the DX6...could'a went either way. I chose the DX6 for ONE reason...programming for the HBKII existed and was easily obtainable, but NOT for the 6EXH. Otherwise, I'd be flying a 6EXH right now. Keep us posted on this development

I also need a new battery charger/balancer.I have looked and read till I'm blue in th' face,and have decided on the FMA CellPro 4s,with a couple adapters.All in all,the next two or three weeks will see some positive changes here in my world of rc helos.Ya know what? Drugs would be cheaper,LMFAO

I would imagine that setting up the 7c will be a royal pita.More so then the dx7 due to lack of info on the king,or anything else really.From what I have read,the 6exh and the 7c share very little.Nothing is carved in stone......yet.As for hhg's,I don't believe that I need the latest and greatest or the most expensive to do the job.3D ain't fer me,so I can safely say that the spendy "ring" style JR gyros are definately not coming home with me I also need a new battery charger/balancer.I have looked and read till I'm blue in th' face,and have decided on the FMA CellPro 4s,with a couple adapters.All in all,the next two or three weeks will see some positive changes here in my world of rc helos.Ya know what?

Futaba 6EX, 7C and TM-7 Service Advisory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated January 30, 2008
This service advisory affects only owners of the Futaba TM-7 module and 6EX and 7C FASST systems. Each FASST transmitter contains a unique eight digit identification code, programmed at the factory to identify the respective transmitter and to allow a receiver to be paired only to that radio's signal. Recently we have learned that a very small number of the TM-7 modules, and 6EX and 7C FASST systems were incorrectly coded with a common code number during the manufacturing process. These units were subsequently sold prior to our awareness of the situation.
If two or more units, utilizing this common identification code, were to be in use simultaneously, they may cause interference with one another. Please note: Units which utilize the correct identification code will not be affected by these units.
We're extremely confident that this is not a widespread problem. However, to catch any possible incorrectly coded units in the field and to give you peace of mind that your system is not affected, we have set up test stations at participating hobby shops throughout the country where you will be able to determine -- within a matter of minutes -- whether or not your transmitter is affected, at no charge to you. There are 100 such Test Stations in place now, and the number will be increased to 500 over the next two to three weeks. Please see below for a listing of these testing stations. Or, if you prefer, you may send it in to our service center and we will analyze it for you at no charge. If any problem is found, it will be replaced. We will gladly pay the postage for returning the unit and sending it back to you.
If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our Futaba Service Center at: 217-398-0007 or via email at: [email protected]. Our staff is available to you Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm U.S. Central Standard Time.
Precautionary Measures and Information-
It is important to note that the precautionary measures are relevant only to the Futaba FASST items with serial numbers as described below. To determine if your transmitter might be affected, look on the bottom of the transmitter case. If using the TM-7 module, the serial number is located on the inside portion of the module:
6EX: A7xxxxxxx without the "I" (Inspected) sticker
7C 07xxxxxxx without the "I" (Inspected) sticker
TM-7 07xxxxxx without the "I" (Inspected) sticker
The precautionary measures do not apply to systems that utilize a serial number as noted below:
6EX ALL A8xxxxxxx or systems with the A7xxxxxxx serial number which include the "I" (Inspected) sticker
7C ALL 08xxxxxxx or systems with the 07xxxxxxx which include the "I" (Inspected) sticker
TM-7 ALL 08xxxxxx or modules with the 07xxxxxx which include the "I" (Inspected) sticker
As with all radio control equipment, we strongly suggest that you pre-flight your aircraft thoroughly prior to flying. When flying at a location with other FASST owners, prior to flying we suggest that all pilots briefly activate their systems simultaneously to check for any interaction between units. If any interactions should occur, do NOT fly. Return the unit to the Futaba Service Center for immediate replacement.
Each time that your transmitter is turned on, it is imperative that you allow the FASST system an adequate amount of time to thoroughly boot-up completely before shutting down the transmitter. After the battery voltage appears on the LCD, we recommend allowing the system to remain on at least one (1) additional second prior to turning off the power to the transmitter.
If the transmitter and receiver have lost their binding which required them to be re-linked, we recommend returning them to the Futaba Service Center for analysis. This is not expected behavior and should be investigated accordingly.

. I have used the 6EX, 9C and 12FG, if you were wondering, the 6 and 12 on 2.4, the 9 and 12 on FM and PCM.

Thanks for catching that boo-boo! In hindsight, it must have been that way before the crash (with both set screws on top)...It ought to fly much better when i take it to the field tomorrow...Thanks again...Ken

Is that an optical illusion or are the flybar paddles facing WRONG?

i just finished a successful test flight in my driveway after another major crash yesterday (bent boom, ball broken off a scissors arm, stripped main gear, cracked battery frame, bcpp canopy destroyed)... the repaired bird has b400 main gear (a little noisier), oem servos that came with it, main shaft and trex spindle which survived the inverted crash (flybar was corkscrewed, but i hand-straightened it)...stock canopy...this is one tough heli...my friends have had less gruesome crashes with their 600-size heli, and wasted a $250 battery, etc., etc...ken

Futaba 6EX, 7C and TM-7 Service Advisory
Yeah,I read this a couple of days ago,but thanks for looking it up.When I buy the 7c,I don't see why whoever,or (wherever) I buy it from can do the test before sending it out,or at the least check the serial #'s.Nothing against the spektrum line,but the dx7 has some dogs barking.It's like anything else,some be good uns,some be not so good uns
