With the new head and carbon fiber blades can you run more head speed?

Looks good. Now where is the vid of it flying? That is what we really want to see!



WERD!!!! This is what I have been telling Jeff at XMSeller....He does not speak the best English and it is becoming a burden trying to understand what is going on. I keep asking him if he even flies Helicopters or if he is just a distributor with no ties to flying..Nothing! I will have to be the one to make a video of mine flying I guess..hehe I have just been taking the Hobby a little slower since my real life is tangling with my fun-time. After my last video with the pictures of the head installed, I ripped my heli down to the seeds and stems. I am pretty much going to redo everything because I was not happy with the wiring and the CG seemed off....Looking at my heli today, I would say it is in 315 different pieces on my work bench.... And it is driving me nuts!

The wind in my area will not let up for sh*t either. I hate having to fly my heli with a string attached like a kite....

You dropped something on the floor then, should be 316 parts

Jeff has to compete with the price point on the cnc head from Hong Kong and the one from Esky whether he has a better head or not. I dont include the one from Xcopter as it is not a Esky type head.
We know price is important, thats why we have Spectrum Radios and Central Machinery Co (also from China) is considered a quality product!
$79.95 sound about right for say the first 30 days or with the "Coupon" then up it to "Regular" price $89.95

Carbon fiber blades (also fiberglass and Epoxy blades) are designed to run at a higher headspeed as they are manufactured to a greater degree of precision and balanced better which together make them track much closer . They are said to perform best on a cnc head.

LOL thats funny Z I need to know if I can get feathering shafts for this head??
if I can I will stick it on and give it a proper beating....so far I have spent more time breaking my bird then flying it!
I am waiting on parts again anyway!!!!......dont ask:-)



It comes with a feathering shaft...You can even use that shaft from the new head in your plastic head. It is the same exact dimensions as the Align feathering shafts that Ken and I are using in our birds...You can buy the 3 pack of Align feathering shafts and the o-rings if you are going to use it in the plastic head. If you do not use them now, you can swap them into the new CNC aluminum head...Betapilot posted that the shafts for the HDX head that comes in your new head kit are stronger than Aligns too.....If all else fails, Mc Guyver it bro! Thats what I love about these flying models....

I am currently trying to figure out not how i can use a blender motor for my heli and an extension cord so I never have to charge batteries again!!!

Peace,

Z

Those darn rich Europeans are buying them up at a record pace at regular price...I don't think we have a chance of a huge reduction unless someone has a nuclear ICBM to send over-sea's...

I am going to wait at Denny's for the special agents to leave the "nuclear football" in their booth once more. I think that would be the easiest way to achieve our goal!!

Peace(or not!)

Kind of off topic but is the complete cnc head and tail assembly from rc-fever a knockoff?

Most definitely....The easiest way to tell if the price does not already give it away, is the fact that the parts are in plastic baggies and not mounted on cardboard with bubble packing like in your LHS.

Peace,

Just to let you know how good the CNC head is... my washout was gettting very sloppy soo as one of the screws eventually worked loose from being loctited in one to many times I replaced my expensive cnc washout with the cheap A** plastic stocker.
Funny thing is now my cnc head is tighter then its ever been. Seems once again putting a screw through a ball bearing just does not hack it! It may look clunky but its a lot better then the 21$+ one

So are you saying the washout assembly on this new cnc head is crap, or are you talking about the purple esky ones?

Good deal. I kinda wish the head was shiny blue aluminum, it says you can use the belt cp head as well so i might do that. What are all the cnc heads that are possible to use with the honey bee king 2 from cnchelicopter.com?

You need to use the 3dx450B head. Look at This picture and you will see that the swash is the same as your HBK2 and Belt CP. You can really use any of the 450 heads but the swash needs to be the B-type unless you want to modify the anti-rotation bracket to sit in the front of the heli and not the rear. I believe that the head for the Belt CP on this site is the exact same head as the 450B just marketed in a different way....

IMO, I really think that the real beauty of the silver head though, is that it is not some unnatural-for-a-heli blue, purple or red color.

Peace,

Z
