The flybarless thing didn't work out. After a lot of tuning and trying I got it into the air and it went into an uncontrollable nose up attitude and ended in a hard landing. I've shelved it for now but am going to try again later.

Status: offline 		Ah thats a pitty hope not too much dammage done  but hey you gotta try these things :-) Im looking at getting a new CB180d to replace the 4G1b that i just sold ... the 180 has its fly bar set at 45* and is only weighted ( no paddels )

Im using a Turborix 2.4ghz Tx/Rx on one of my #36's and its been interesting for me as this is the first programable Tx  ( need a computer on hand to do set up)  and yep ive set it to 90* swashplate as well the 120* set up works for the #60 and Hk450 swash set ups ( hey amaizing think I jagged something right hehehehe)

Bartleph what gyro are you using on the HK??

Have fun all

Status: offline 		Happy-dingo.... Well I haven't bought a gyro specifically for the HK450 yet, but to my surprise it stays really steady using one of the 36s Walkera G010... I have got a telebee on one of the 36s, and didn't really want to swap it over yet, hence the reason why the G010 is on the HK450.

You have to remember I am a complete novice, and hovering is about as much as I can control at the moment, so anything that keeps the nose pointing forward is probably good to go!! I've been following the discussions on gyros and it seems there are some reasonably priced recommended models. We are just about to go into Mail Delivery Strikes here in the UK, so I am loathe to order much at the moment for fear of it ending up in a skip somewhere. With windy and cold weather coming up in the next few months, I think my flying is going to have to wait till springtime...

I guess I can dream about it though!!

Status: offline 		Hehehehe yeah I keep dreaming of the day that I can get a helli to hover even, one would think for a bloke who owns 8 helli's he could fly one ... but hey im getting very quick at fixing them and have found some wonderful suppliers of parts .... Ive just received WK-G011 as Ive heard that Walkera have got it right with this one and its made to suit the 2.4ghz Tx/Rx Ive also ordered all new E-Sky EK2-0508 digital servo's and cnc metal upgrades for my 2- #36's.
Im not happy with the colco GY400 that ive got on at the moment ..so ill see what happens when i swap it over with the G011 hope it improves things ... all I want is for every thing to work get it looking nice and then sell it 

Were suppose to be comming into summer here but had 4inches of snow 2 days ago and the wind hasnt let up for the last month so its been a bit frustrating to get a fly in (or at least try to fly hehehe) suppose thats why in getting the CB180d its small enough to fly indoors   
Have fun all

Yup the weather sure does suck here at the moment it's driving me nuts. We get a couple of nice almost summer days, then back to weeks of winter cold and wind. What a hassle.

Do you have a Co-ax heli? - I have a Lama IV and E-Flite Blade CX2 which I've bound to the DX6i and practice on that while I mourn over my latest bent 'real' heli and wait for parts. They (coax) are cool, because I just back the car out of the shed and float the CX around few battey packs, practicing nose in and spot landings, just to calm the nerves of having just spent another $100 bucks on spares. Plus I do as much flying on RealFlight G3.5 as can without getting overly bored with it.

My #36 and HK-T500 are not going, I have the parts, but due to my healh, cold weather and being just plain lazy they are out of commision. I guess I could crank up the 'ol #22, but I hate it, it's dead stock and the radio, well I just don't trust it.

-B!

Ahh well Bill when the summer does get here we'll be wishing for winter again ( the heat n i dont get on to well    
 havent got a coax .. Im waiting on the CB180d for indoor flying when it gets here (on back order atm).... Im flying my 76c inside atm, as ive just sold the 4G1B.  Ive got 2, 36's ones going the other waiting for new TX and metal upgrade ... I hear you on the glitchy radio's they are bloody dangerous as i can afford it im changing everything over to 2.4   much safer.

Ive sorted out the tail spin problem that ive had as well I had too much pitch on my main blades which in turn was slowing the head speed... Thus not getting enough speed to the tail rotor .... so with a lot of time swapping parts, a bit of thinking (not too much of that it hurts ,,,hehehehe) and a whole lot of luck ive finally got the tail to stay put 

have Fun All
Dingo
