I have to assume you want pics of the tail mod. Well first let me say sorry about the quality. I've spent more on my helis than I ever would on a camera. My new phone cam probably took better pics but I can't get to load here. So anyway here you go, again sorry for the pood quality.


When I did the fix on the tail to get full range, i drilled a bit of the inside hole where the screw(that attaches to the links) goes through at an angle pointing inward. Being careful not to drill all the way through to allow the screw to suck through the hole. You can also just back the screw out a tad bit so the links can get a more efficient inward flex. i would think if you made the links longer, your full range would be a shorter full range...Dig?

Hey "Z"...here's a msg from Charles. He's the one you sent to me to fix his heli. He bought the Ranger fuselage for me and I sent him a picture of the completed project....

Vic,

Very nice.... Your a perfectionists and do impeccable work.

I have been flying my helicopter and getting better all the time..... What a difference when things are put together right. Thank you!

Charles Ferrell




Other than the fact that you offered to fix peoples heli's for them, and do it correctly, I have learned so much from using all your tips that it was an easy name to drop. He does not live too far from where I am so I am hoping that he "flies" into town(he is a pilot) with his King so we can rip a few batteries off together. I might even be able to fly some of that handy-work.

Peace Crash,

You have our(Chuck and I) vote...

Z


Yeah...he's a heck of a good guy.

Status: offline 		I used to just use a longer screw through the pitch slider to create greater distance between the link end and the pitch slider, I would use a slightly larger diameter coarse thread self tapper to hold well in the pitch slider and then adjust from the back side. Then I went to a cnc tail upgrade (NOT ESKY) and never had to worry about that problem again, lol.

Blue goes in middle and I think the black was on the positive side on mine, but i cant remember right off hand as its not in front of me. I did trial and error and had it backwards at first (gear spun the wrong way).

Well, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Just hook up all 3 wires, and check direction. If it goes the wrong way, swap any 2 wires, and you've got it!

What brand of cnc tail upgrade are you using. I would like to upgrade my K2 but want to stay away from the esky stuff.

Jim

I've worked on the E-Sky knock off stuff....looks just like E-Sky, but it sure isn't. Worst crap I've ever worked on. E-Sky CNC isn't bad except the price tag is a little HIGH and it's purple (LOL). Micro-Heli has some natural aluminum ones. Quality is good, color is aluminum...also has a nice price tag.

Status: offline 		Hey Jim, I use only the hdx or microheli, no offense chill but the esky stuff is crap. I have used MH or hdx for over a year now and every single time I install one or send one out to a customer for them to run I get the same response of how incredible the difference is. The upgrade collar is 8mm and the boom on a king is 7.5 so you will have to run a spacer, I use an aluminum collar insert that I custom make for each of my applications that I include if a customer wants, or you can use heat shrink which works pretty well. For those of you still looking to extend your boom, the upgrade is a perfect fit for an art tech falcon boom which with minor dremel work fits a king very well, it will give you an extra 1/2 inch extension and increase the tail hold (or dumb it down) pretty well. The MH or hdx upgrade has multiple benefits performance wise where as the esky stuff is at best stock replacement parts in metal, I have tried other cnc upgrades and as Crash stated you can really get some junk out there. The MH or the hdx runs $55 so its not like it is way more expensive than its lesser counterparts and there is no comparison in the toughness and performance, best I have found on the market.

If I decide to go with the microheli stuff, what parts would you suggest. I was on the microheli web site looking for the components to upgrade the tail and it got a little confusing.
