bro E_HEli I have the motor heat sink, but I turned it sideways so i could get the battery more forward and it was still tail heavy plenty, even before I extended the tail boom by 1/4 inch, extra from factory set. That 1/4 inch really made a big difference in reducing the work of the tail motor. I had to turn the limit right down, rudder trim 3/4 way to the left and still have to hold a little left rudder. Less work for the tail motor(more life). I'll see how it works above 4ft. Will try the battery swap a little later. Cheers

PhillyD.... as far as I am concerned the battery receiver swap is a done deal. All your balancing problems will go right out the window. Almost perfect after the swap. With the receiver I use rubber bands to hold it in and two small t-ties attached together to hold the rear of the receiver snug, ie: two small ties in place of one 7inch tie to wrap around the frame and the receiver. Personally I find popping off the canopy and replacing the battery easier than the original battery position when in the field. There is still enough wire on the battery connector to get it out the side of the canopy if you want to charge the battery still inside the canopy.
Keep the receiver vertically positioned. Try to push it back away from the motor on the frame.
Also.. maybe I am wrong or it's just temporary... but shouldn't your training gear be spidered downwards. The main round center joint thusly should be flipped. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just personal preference. Also... the ties securing the the struts of the training gear.... I use two ties crossed on each of the four corners.
Dear Rob I'll go flip the training gear connector right away and see the difference. It spiders down when the heil eases the weight. How do you anchor the batt in the nose. It may be a little long to fit without modifying the canopy? Cheers Just checked the connector for the training is correct. Cone pointing up with support downward for the rods. if it is spun The rods will go up in the groove. So that one is right Now to check battery length

How do you anchor the batt in the nose.
Just rubber bands. Same place the receiver went. If its it either the 800 or 900 MaH stock battery it will fit no problem Just for the heck of it in the top of the canopy I drilled a hole to push air down on the battery in the canopy.
I put electric tape on the canopy where the hole would be drilled to keep the plastic from shattering (don't really know if it made a difference.. but it didn't shatter or crack). I made about a 1/2 inch hole. My canopy is black where the "glass window" would be... so I figured it would keep the heat down in the summer sun. Yours is orange... so it's a cosmetic choice... I haven't heard of anybody else drilling a hole in the canopy.
I think if your training gear is secured with two ties on each corner, tightly, it won't sag like it is and the helicopter will sit on the ground like an agile spider.
Dear Rob I am ordering a new training gear. I think this was for the helimax. Will try the tie. Oh white reflects sun(raidiant heat) Dark colors absorb. the hole should do. Oh Rob Post a pic to let me see how you run your wires to the servo to avoid the heat from the motor and the main gear. Cheers

phillyD, nothing wrong with your training gear. If you buy a new set it will only do the same thing. Im basing this on 4 sets that i have seen, they all sat like yours. Mine did and it worked a dream.

Well.. this ain't pretty boys !!!
The training gear... on closer inspection I have just noticed yours is different than mine. Your center connecting piece is different. Yours is a flat disk with inserts for the struts. Mine is shaped like a more like a fat upside down cone... with the holes for the struts angled up into the unit... thus angling the struts down lifting the heli off the ground.
Here's a pic... it's not set up to be pretty...

From what i can see Rob it looks like your training gear struts are thicker, maybe off a bigger heli.... Who really cares they all do the same job. ummmm interesting looking heli LOL.
