i do have training gears but they should make em so if you hit the wall with them the propellor wont hit anyways the reasy i go throught them is i thinnk because when i lose control i let go of throttle but the propellors keep spinning a while and it would hit something like a couch(cloth) then it breaks. I dont know why they brake so easy tho. Every flight i break one. ALso any suggestony on how to stop propellor faster like the tail(almost instantly)is there a way to tighten the gears to slow it down why i stop it?

weeweeboi ......... Not sure training gear would keep your blades from smaking things as they r to keep from the blades hiting the floor and training gear also give the heli a lower center of gravity and also act as stabalisers to make the heli less responsive to abrupt control inputs. As far as getting the blades to stop fast, i dont think that can be helped and makeing the gears tighter would put more stress on your motors and battery making for shorter flight times and burning up a motor faster. Just keep your training gear on and remeber to throttle back after you land when you get in trouble. Do you use a sim? Tony

would you suggest super skids? would it help me more since the weights stablizes it more? also why does my main rotor head break if the wings fold up which adds a shock absorber? i no my propellors are loose so whata do you suggest for my problems?

I just purchase a Falcon 40 and have yet to fly it. I have a similar problem (as mentioned above) with the servos twitching/glitching when I plug the receiver in (Tx is turned on first). In addition, without moving the throttle stick the main rotor will move in a "twitching" fashion. Further, when you do advance the throttle stick about a quarter, the rotor initially won't move, then it takes off suddenly! I have new batteries in the Tx and have fully charged the Rx. Any ideas???

Check the throttle trim on the right side of your throttle stick. If it is all the way down it will take you to almost half throttle to get it to turn on. Mine is set JUST below halfway so as soon as you move the stick the blades start turning.

l5jazzplayer,

The URL I posted is not mine. I found a ton of FMS info by doing a search in the Electric Heli forum. That's where I found the info about the step-by-step setup for ppjoy. After I got the transmitter to talk to the pc, I played around with the FMS settings to get it to work.

All,

By-the-way, I read the info on Radd's flight training. I will start tomorrow. I just need to get some connectors for the extra battery packs I have. Seems like a great place for me to start.

Did anyone install an "on/off" switch to their Falcon 40?

Hi A10bolt,

Thanks for the step-by-step setup instructions for PPJOY. I tried to go to your URL but it doesn't work. After goinging through all the setup, my PC is "seeing" my transmitter, but the only thing that works is the tail. I tried to re-map the throttle to #1 which is what the PPJOY said was my throttle. While moving the stick it appeared to be backwards? 2 was the tail, which worked correctly. Since I couldn't get the copter off the ground I can only assume the the aeleron and rudder (3 and 4) were hooked up properly. Any other suggestions?

weeweeboi......... As far as your rotor core braking i couldnt tell you what to do about that. As i stated befor mine broke also and i didnt even hit anything or have a hard crash. it just broke from the head vibrating to much befor it spooled up. I think this is just a week point in the drive system but that could be a good thing as this could keep from more critical parts breaking somewhere else. Just make sure your flybar and paddles r ballanced good and you can also disconect the main motor to ballance the rotor. If any of this is off ballance that could put to much stress on the rotorhead core. To ballance the rotors add tape to the light blade or lightly sand the heavy blade. Remember to disconect the motor so they will swing freely. The directions in the falcon manual tell you how to balance the flybar.
As far as useing superskids, i would just stick with the training gear, they give a lower center of gravity like a said befor and alot more surface area than superskids for landing. They may not look cool like superskids but whats that matter when your just learing to fly.
When i get my new rotor head core in the mail im going to use the pin method through the bearing like talked about in the forum and this may help to reinforce the rotor core a ''little''. One more tip to. Carfull not to power up to fast, ease in the throttle. Just try to keep as much stress off the rotor head as possible. Hope this helps................. Tony

Tony,

I can't speak for everyone but the main reason I got the Superskids was because the stock one is very poorly design. A semi-hard landing and it will break, sometime in more than 1 places. I went through two sets in no time at all. Ordered/installed the Superskids and have yet to have a problem. I will say it does make the heli a little heavier, especially with training gears, but it's nice to not have to worry about them breaking.

I wouldn't say they are poorly designed. They are designed the way they are to take the stress away from the rest of the helicopter and to keep it as light as possible. The thing I have noticed about using mods is it really shifts the stress point to a new area that could end up costing you much more money. Of course this is only talking about crashing. Mods in general do help a great deal in stability and flight performance. To me a trainer is just that, a trainer. It really shouldn't need any mods as you want to put as little money into it as possible cause your gonna crash it and often. Wait on the mods for your next nice ship =)

J-cube i think im going to buy hitec HS55, they are almost same size and have more torque
plus they will last loads more than stock chinese servos

what ya think?
