Status: offline 		I did'nt figure I was the first. Reading in forums I see where plenty of people have had troubles with the electronics on the walkeras. Being new like I am I knew what I did but had no idea how I did it untill you enlightened me. Once again I cant express how helpfull it is to have someone like yourself here answering questions people like myself.
Thanks again & I'll keep you updated on my progress. Currently I'm in a two week mail order holding pattern.

Status: offline 		hey guys,
have any of you experienced the pinion wearing out unevenly (both large gear, and the one directly on the motor)

my only 2 thoughts are
1. something is rotating off centre (bent)
2. the upgrade to the brushless has seen the number of teeth on the motor change, causing the xtra wear

aproximatley 90degrees of each gear is worn

the brass/copper gear on the motor is so badly worn i can see how they have been folded/pressed together.

the heli was given to me.. but the last owner (good friend) only had 1 decent crash, and a few minor flops over.

there is a very slight wobble in the "button" when the rotor is running

Status: offline 		The walkera users manual/setup guide, although full of english words, reads like greek to me. I cant make sence of the section on blade tracking. After measuring from a good flat table to the tip of each of each blade, I am aware that one blade is, higher or lower, than the other by 4 millimeters. But I cant figure out how to adjust them. BTW it is a stock head. Another in the long line of stupid questions. Can someone please help enlighten me???

Status: offline 		Try to stand this,they are talking about weigth to balance
Using the KSJ 528 Balancer
Before you add any weight anywhere, check BOTH the spanwise balance and the blade-to-blade balance. There are only four possible outcomes you can find:

1. Both blades balance and have spanwise balance points within 1/16". In this case you are done. (and very lucky or bought very good blades).

2. The spanwise Balance is fine, but one blade is heavier. In this case you add weight (tracking tape or whatever you prefer) to the light blade, PUTTING THE WEIGHT ON the spanwise balance point of the lighter blade until the blades balance.

3. The blades balance with each other but the spanwise balance is off between the blades. In this case you will add EXACTLY the same amount of weight to EACH blade. Line up the blades and note which way the spanwise balance marks have to move to line up with each other, and put a test-piece of tape on one blade on the end that the mark on that blade needs to move towards (to match the mark on the other blade). Put enough tape on to move the mark HALF of the distance needed. Now (to keep the blade-to-blade balance) put exactly the same amount of tape on the OTHER end of the OTHER blade. NOTE - start by adding weight on the blade that need weight on the ROOT end. Add the tape as near the root as possible before the blade tapers. Now measure from the inner edge of that tape to the spot where you need the balance point to MOVE to. On the other blade, measure from that same final balance point the same distance towards the tip and MARK that spot, that's where the inner edge of the tape needs to be on that blade.

4. Both the spanwise balance AND the blade balance is off. (Not exactly rare). Okay. Start by adding weight to the lighter blade ON THE END (see above) that the balance point needs to END UP at. (Halfway between the two original spanwsie balance point marks). You'll need to keep checking the spanwsie balance as you go. If you have reached perfect spanwise balance BEFORE the light blade has enough weight on it, put the rest of the weight ON the spanwsie balance point until the blades balance with each other. If you reach balance between the blades before the spanwise balance is okay, proceed as in #3 above until spanwise balance is reached.

Status: offline 		koolaid,


Hold the flybar level while you move the throttle stick up and down (unplug motor or use hold if you have a hold button like on a DX7).

If they both don't move look at the servos and see if one has stopped working.

Status: offline 		For those who may want to know, I see where ehirobo has the walkera 60-b kit on sale for 60 bucks. I'm thinkin how could a guy go wrong gettin a spare everything (except electronics) for that money. Also for those of us who own the basic DF60, the DF60-B has the CNC head & tail which alone sells for around $60. Along with the CNC upgrade I'd still have all the spares, frame, blades, skids, gear, belt, ect. Can't see how a guy could go wrong like that. I'm sure I'll be back there before the day is out and have me one ordered. They seem to have some pretty good deals, for those of you who want to know.
