well, just got my replacement rotor heads today. Put it all together and was ready to go. I did my first flight of the day in my garage(its winter here), and did a nice 40-45 second hover. This is only my 5-6th battery so im pretty happy. Its charging up right now for another flight tonight. I love this!!!

weeweeboi, those should fit the Falcon40...not as good as the SuperSkids V3 but not bad for $12.99.

rcmaster123, that's a good deal on the blades especailly if you go through a lot of them. I would definitely order as long as they don't rape you on shipping.

CheeseNeggs, glad you're doing so well. This is definitely an addicting hobby.

got done with my second battery for the day and wow, huge improvement!! I timed my hovers. lol. I got about 2 1/2 minutes towards the end of my battery and then I only had enough power to hover about a foot off the ground so I stopped. I hope to do even beter tommorow. My goal is to keep her up for a whole battery.

yes im going to try them as soon as i get my paycheck (jan 25th) but you have to add shipping and get time to do it so it might be first week of feb

but as you said, they are cheap so you cant go wrong and most important you can use them in your next heli if you want to, not like that cheap walkera servo lol

I'll never buy another Walkera servo!

makatron, are you going to try the HS-55? I was just hoping that maybe someone else wanted to try these servos before I invested in some.

They're not that expensive on Tower Hobbies. Only $10 each. I may get some real soon whether you do or don't.

Just a quick note to report my findings, in earlier posts I was seeking info about what I thought was a battery problem, then a motor problem...... It was the motor, my new parts arrived today. Installed the motor first and tried it with the old batt, flew great. If you find you are losing power and the motor is getting hot it is probably the brushes going, I believe that is what happened to mine. I also suggest you install a fuse between the motors and the 4 in 1 reciever, on the walkeria forum they have been blowing the 4 in 1's when the motors go bad or a crash that ties up the blades. Their is also some discussion on the JST plugs and are they to fragile and causing elec problems. If anyone has replaced theirs, what did you use ?

a10bolt - Thank You! Just what I needed for a trouble free setup of FMS/PPjoy.

TitaniumZX, thanks for the pics of the bearing retainer mod, will be doing that one before the first flight.

I have been fooling around with FMS, and can fly all the heli models that come with it. I have a question for everyone who has actually flown the falcon and the models on FMS. Which one is MOST like the Falcon? I realize the FMS is a free sim, and some say sub-par, but I think it helps on some level. I expect the falcon to handle as twitchy as the ThreeDee, and as mellow as the Hughes as far as ability (3D etc). Let me know which one is most like the Falcon.

Thanks

the fuse mod is really only needed if your going with a brushless setup and lipos. I wouldn't worry about putting a fuse on these falcon 40s with stock parts. as for the jst's. They are ok, I have flown with them on airplanes and now helis. If you really want to change those, Deans makes some VERY nice plugs. I have used those on my airplanes.
