RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
I'm not sure I see any specific benefit to doing it other than 'bling', and to say that I did it. I can imagine that it would make a sound very similar to that of a timing gear set. Which may or may not introduce some kind of high frequency harmonic vibration. I can't imagine how healthy that may be for the heli since I am complete noob.
Thought it might be an interesting conversation idea.
But I do see your point crashcrash, in the fact that there is no real point to doing it.

Casey

I guess like a lot of hobbies, amatuer radio (KC0LVJ), rc models, and model rocketry some things are done just because they can be done.

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
ok guys, i just installed my esky hh gyro on my hbk2, it was fairly easy but the gain seems to not do anything at al no matter where i set it at.. anybody experience this?? on hh moe i can hover it in my living room with just using the right stick only, maybe every 30 seconds or more i have to tap the stick, it seems the tail may get an inch or two from where i started out at.. did i do something wrong or is all of this normal?

If you plugged in the gain wire(the yellow one with one wire) then your gain is set buy the radio, And the stock radio has to low a gain setting to really be usefull. Leave the gain wire unplugged and you can set your gain with the pot on the gryo. remember over 50% is hh under is rate. Hope that helps.

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
so now i am confused!! do i plug the single wire in and use the switch to toggle betwen hh and rate?? how will the gyro act with the wire unplugged and the gain above 50%(HH)?? will it be better to do it that way??

hey guys...do you guys use medium locktite on the screws around the head area? after literally 10 hours of flight time last sunday...one of the screws loosened on my head and one of the links broke[:@]. after having perfectly trimmed and everything. it was flying so well that i bought up enough courage to IDLE UP in flight for the first time. well i really idled up because the wind would take it up and when i trottled down to bring it down it became to sluggish. but man what a RUSH. to hover in idle up mode is awesome. the wind almost became a non factor. just remember to flip it back before you land. anyways i like it so much i think i will be flying it alot more in this mode. don't be afraid to try it.

Only use loctite on metal to metal connections it breaks down plastic and can cause problems. Personaly I just check the screws from time to time to make sure everything is good.

As a matter of curiosity, what would prevent someone from making a CNC milled metal main gear? ...

In any high speed application, the main gear (spur) must be softer than the pinion or it'll tear up the pinion. This is also true on r/c cars, slotcars, anything.

I'm not sure I would even attempt to have one made, I was interested more or less in the physics of it. This is definitely a helpful tidbit, I've never had a solid grounding in gear components, so RC motors / pinions / main gears are proving to be a educational experience.
Thanks for the heads up.

Pinions on the motor are an alloy mixture of brass and bronze. They're harder when combined but not too hard. Bronze it's self is very hard, brass is very soft so they combine them to get the right hardness for the pinion. Aluminum is the sme way...alloyed to a specific mixture for desired hardness and corrosion resistance. Aluminum can be heat treated to make it harder in addition to the alloy mixing (example...6061-T6) where T6 is the degree of heat treatment I can tell you....T-6 is pretty hard stuff. Metalurgy class is now in recess (LOL).

I had to check it out myself! Pretty funny but what a dumb thing to do. Wish I could throw $2200 bucks downs the toilet.

LOL I don't know who those guys are, but they really aren't too bright, or coordinated. More money than brains, I guess.

Swash Plate Leveler: It was made for the Trex 450, but it should work for the HBK2.

It's your money..... You don't really need a swash leveler, serious, the heli will tell you it's not right when your setting it up and test run it.

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
I'm getting ready to test fly my HBK2 tomorrow with the copter X head and tail upgrades with the DX7 and telebee HHD gyro I have been programming the TX since Monday had finally got to where I thought I had it last night when I hit the throttle hold switch and sent the heli off the table so I spent today changing gears in my new servos. I gave you all this info because I'm not sure I have the tail right witch direction is the gyro supposed to be set because spinning it up on the table to check the tracking and the tail is super sensitive wants to keep drifting counter clockwise and when I go to adjust it will whip the other direction so not sure I want to do a hover test and crash if I could have corrected something first.
P.S. All the help I can get is welcome
