The FS8 for use on eCCPM requires replacing the rec. in the Blackhawk for the one that comes with the FS8. You order a crystal to match the freq. your tx is on. Seems to be a good rec., but is 3 times the size. Also has a small control panel that has to be mounted somewhere. Lotta stuff to hang on a 450 size heli. As I said before, I still don't have it working right.

Status: offline 		Seems like they would be ok considering other electronics that maintain their utility and prob runs cooler. There may be some RF drift but not sure on that either.

Status: offline 		Yes, winter is definitely knocking on the door here in MI ... I finally got the Spectrum lipo battery monitor installed and got some flights in this weekend, yesterday evening was great with little to no winds but temps were in the low 50's to upper 40's with the sun going down, now an hour earlier (time change bs).

I hope I will be able to fly outdoors until it gets into the 30's because I don't know that I will be able to wait until Spring to fly

But man the heli flew great yesterday, it's really a sweet bird! I received my Pro-Line Assault canopy and hope to get it painted and mounted soon. It's definitely not as bulky as the stock one, not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet.

Status: offline 		no he believes the one with the light is faster but it is not a balancer so he throws that one in. I alternate between the quicler charge and the balancer. Sometimes I just use the balancer/charger. They both charge the batteries.

Status: offline 		another quick question. the blades hit the ground and power was cut. i lost a half inch to a inch of the woode blades on both sides it pushed the motor back in its mounts instead of stripping the main gear. i have new blades and the motor is remounted properly and now when i turn the heli on the servos will move but now i get no power to the blades at all. is this normal for such a small oops??? and what is the remedy?

Status: offline 		actually 1/2 of wood could be a tough blade strike, good news on the gear not stripping though - some ideas and things to check
does the motor turn when you fire it up?
is the pinion still tight on the shaft and properly seated with the gear teeth?
are the plugs from the motor to the ESC still tight?
if you manually turn the motor does the gear turn?
did you strip the one way bearing inside the main gear?

Status: offline 		i just went out with a fully charged battery and it fired up and ran perfect

it was running fine before the crash and i charged the battery for 30 minutes with the balancer so go figure.

oh well all is good now. the heli held up good for a small crash.

on a side note now im using the trex 315mm plastic blades and i think they will hold up a little better then the cheap woodies

Status: offline 		I too had a blade strike last night, what's with that?

Anyway, I was playing around with piro'ing a little and I think the radio glitched on me and then being that I was in my basement I didn't have much room for error and the blades struck a PVC downpipe and shattered both of them. I was powering it down and nothing else appears to have been affected, so I will pickup new blades today and learned a lesson ... if flying in a basement or other confined space, don't try and do too much
