RE: Shun Da Piper Cub J3

Yeah, heli flying is expensive and difficult. I still haven't fixed mine since it exploded.

RE: Shun Da Piper Cub J3

Yeah, it certainly has been a while since I've posted. The last time I flew was 2 weeks ago when I had a moderately bad crash. I was flying at a new field and looked down at my Tx and noticed the...

RE: WALKERA 60

I flew my 60 this weekend. It was flying decently for about 5 min. Then I landed and tried to attach a camera to the training set on the bottom. Bad idea (even though I had done so before without...

RE: WALKERA 60

I'll keep that advice in mind. I've been purposely holding off on trying new stuff so that the chopper is in good shape for this weekend. I'll think I'll toss a FlyCamOne on it and see what kind of...

RE: WALKERA 60

I just ended up buying another 60 head with 2 pairs of CF-coated blades for $29 on e-bay (all new). That's a pretty sweet deal, considering the blades are usually about $13 each with shipping from...

RE: WALKERA 60

Walkera-Parts and Ehirobo e-mailed me back saying that I can't use the Copter X metal head on the 60. I'm guessing either they don't know for sure or they know I need to order some other parts as...

RE: WALKERA 60

I was actually looking around for possible alternatives to the Walkera head. Will the Copter X head fit perfectly on the shaft? Is there anything else I'd need to get to do that?

RE: WALKERA 60

I just e-mailed Walkera-Parts to see if I can buy the spare parts for the metal rotor head. I know you can get some of the 60 parts like bearings, screws, etc., but I'm afraid that the parts for the...

RE: Shun Da Piper Cub J3

I think the FlyCamTwo has the same video resolution and framerate as the FC1, but it sounds like the picture quality is improved. How do you take pics with the FC2? Can you rig up a servo to the...

RE: WALKERA 60

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check it out more thoroughly. Maybe when I originally took it apart something fell out. If I am missing something, is there a place I can buy specific parts like...

RE: WALKERA 60

Anyone else here have the metal rotor head? If so, do you get any see-sawing movement when you try and rock it back and forth holding on to the blade grips? I decided to fly the 60 again after a...

RE: Shun Da Piper Cub J3

Wow, this forum has been dead for a while.

I finally got to fly again after a couple months because the winds were below 10mph. I installed a new camera mount to try and get some cool...

RE: WALKERA 60

I see the spindle now, thanks for the explanation. Note that I have the metal head upgrade.

I noticed since I got the 60 that the blade holders could rock back and forth a little bit. This...

RE: WALKERA 60

The belt seems to be a good level of tightness, like you guys described (resistance gets high at midline).

I'm putting tape inside the bladeholders so that it's a snugger fit for the blades. ...

RE: WALKERA 60

I know this is a newbie question, but what exactly is the spindle? The main shaft doesn't look bent, but I was going to order another one to have as a spare so I can check to see if that's a...

RE: WALKERA 60

My belt may very well be loose. I was fondling it after the crash and it felt sloppy. How do you tighten it? The tail was doing pretty well before I switched to 3D mode, that's why it's so weird...

RE: WALKERA 60

So I went out for some more flying today and had some problems. Firstly, the chopper is still highly unstable, but it's probably partly due to the wind and my inexperience. I do pretty well in FMS...

RE: Harbor Freight Speedboat

Good points by both posters. I liked the Aero Ace vs. Cessna analogy (my RC addiction started with an Aero Ace jet). It would seem like a rudder would be just as easy to incorporate as an extra...

RE: Harbor Freight Speedboat

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the mini Rio is smaller with only a single 380 motor and rudder-based steering. How fast does the Rio go? I'd expect that, if anything, the HF speedboat is...

RE: WALKERA 60

Yep, switching the blades helped my problem, although now it doesn't turn left as fast as I'd like. It's way better than before though.

Unfortunately, the chopper seems a little unstable. I'm...

Oh yeah, here's my X-1 flying around doing barrel rolls:

Proof that it does fly and can roll, although it still looks like ass.
