I was just wondering what you get for flight times out of the stock batteries for the F40, and what one could expect to get with superskids on that same stock helo and batt?

Not sure about the superskids but on a standard nnimh with stock heli, I get about 8-10 minutes of hovering.

Status: offline 		i havent tried yet but as soon as they start failing i will try hitec and im telling you, if the 4 in 1 fails i wont hesitate to use a futaba or jr one and maybe that way the heli will stop the glitchy behavior

super skids on the way!!!

and 1200 mah lipo on the way too, i will use it with my blade cx too, smart huh??

Status: offline 		Hey Doomsday, your actually lucky! I lost one of my bearings in the crash. Now I have to place another order. I'll see If I can get Falcon parts somewhere other than Raidentech. (Still can't believe they gave me one bad servo when I ordered/paid for two good servos! )

I found a servo that may work well with the Falcon: Multiplex USA Nano S servo. (Part of Hitech.) I'll try it!

About Lipo safety, you don't need to worry that much. I mean, I still charge my Lama's in a special steel case I made at school, but if you use protective circuitry, there shouldn't be any trouble. Most portable electronics have a Lipo in it now. (ex. cell phones)

Status: offline 		Falcon 40 Pilots,

I just received my Falcon 40 today. I want to use the FMS sim before I actually fly my new heli. I cannot get the transmitter to talk to the computer. I have an XP machine.

I have installed PPjoy, but I'm not sure if it is correct.

Can anyone help??

Thanks

Here's the link for the rotor head bearings. I'm looking at a way to secure these suckers so they don't pop off in a hard landing.


I have an improvised solution I use for when a bearing pops out on a rough landing (pronounced "KRASH" . I have a rectangular
neodymium magnet about 3" long and when I crash and think the bearing has popped out, I leave the heli in the same spot , unplug the battery, and go inside the house and get my strong magnet. I then drag the magnet all over the scene of the crash ( ) and usually after a while the tiny bearing is stuck to the magnet. SOofar this has saved me several times. If you dont have a neo magnet, you could use the huge magnet off of a blown loudspeaker as well. The bigger the better!!!

I did see a post in the DF4 forum about someone rigging a improvised bearing retainer using a straight pin... Not sure when though.

Status: offline 		Robo, that's a good tip and wished I would have done that with my last incident. Unfortunately I moved the heli and never found the bearing. I ordered two sets and will definitely look into rigging something to keep them from popping off.

A tip for all you new pilots out there, when you order parts, go ahead and get extras parts because shipping suck. The bearings are like $3.50 but shipping is $5.50. I went ahead and got extra blades, flybar, links, tail motor, main motor, ball link pliers, and some hex drivers and shipping was still $5.50.
