Hey, sounds good! Just be careful and don't make the same mistake I did....don't overtighten the bell mixer screws!

I did that once, and the heli was all over the place, had a hell of a time figuring it out!

Make sure that the bell mixer arms are free, by making sure that the flybar is nice and "floppy" from side to side when you try to move it, and it's not stiff in any way...the flybar and paddles should flop freely up and down. If they don't, find out why...otherwise the heli will be completely out of control!!

It took me a while to figure that one out when I did it!

Good luck with it!

Glenn

Yeah, loosen the screws a little bit, until the arms and flybar are free to move..

I have some excellent pics of the CPP rotor head, but they are on my PC at home...if you can wait a little while, I'll post them tonight for ya...

I just got back from flying...and it was a great session for me!

I actually applied all the things that I was practicing on the sim for the past 2 days, and it really paid off...I did some stuff that seemed impossible before, like a smooth, small left circle. Not really a pirouette, but making a circle about 5 feet in diameter, while keeping the heli level... and some left turns to my left, which give me a hard time, and even a little tiny bit of backwards flying, and spent lots of time with nose in hovering.

My motor didn't come in yet, but I flew with the old one anyways. I hope the motor comes tomorrow, because I don't want to have to "rob" my spare B400 for a motor for the weekend if I don't have to.

I got my stuff from Helihobby today, very cool neck strap and swivel for the neckstrap.

Best thing is I did new stuff, and didn't crash in the process!

Sounds like you have everything lined up for some flying soon!

Good luck, hope you have some better weather!

Glenn

It sounds like you had a good flying day. I got 3 packs in again. It was really windy, but the T-Rex didn't mind it at all. And the storms finally came a few hours ago. So I won't be able to fly for awhile.

Did you get to fly with the neck strap yet?

Nick

Yeah, right! I am not EVEN close to any 3D yet....LOL

I'll be glad when I can do figure 8's in both directions... for now, that's my next goal...

But the sim time definately paid off, that's for sure!

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate with you this weekend, mine is supposed to be typical Wash. DC summer weather, hot, with T-storms in the afternoon/evening...sometimes right after a big storm, the wind is completely calm...maybe I'll get lucky!

Good luck with both of the helis, now that they are fully prepared for flight!

Glenn

Status: offline 		well my cp pro is back up, was trying to dial it in, doing this in the kitchen, checked pitch and tracking everything seems smooth, but cant seem to adjust the right trims to well, I finally relized how touchy this heli is now, spool up is smooth, hopefully I can get this stuff figured out with the cp pro, im kinda thinking about just selling it and getting a belt driven bird so the tail is more locked then this tail motor heli, we shall see
