RE: Symptoms of a used up nitro engine??

I would check the clutch first. You only have 1 gallon through it.... that is about the time you should expect some normal wear. I've seen the shoes worn so bad that the spring was worn through...

RE: ........."BELT-CP THREAD"........

Manitou,
Sounds like your gyro is fine. It is actually waiting for the change in position that you called for with the Tx input. This is why it's important to set up the gyro in standard rate...

Batteries:

Ah the battery question.

Seems all manufacturers "adjust" their batteries to get the output they want. Your best bet with the belt is to get a battery at least 195g in weight up...

RE: ........."BELT-CP THREAD"........

With some trimming I have made many 315-325 mm blades fit, the length of the blade grips is short on the Belt CPs, but take a bit off the end of the blade and you are golden. Reseal the covering if...

Your esc throttle range is not set.

Ps the two helis share Tx and Rx models, the only difference is what channel each is on. You are getting responses from Tx so this is no...

the three wires from the motor should have brass bullet plugs on each one, about midway between motor and esc. They are covered by shrink tube.

If not present, you should install...

Spray the head with Silicon Lube occasionally, it will not react with the plastic, and dries well so it doesn't collect dust.

Use it on the Belt too!

Hi everyone,

I have to recommend that ALL new Belt CP owners spend a couple hours with their new toy and disconnect the servo links.

Carefully work through each joint and pivot point and...

The dimensions should be within 1 mm of the old servos.

I start each mounting screw and pull them down together. The screws should seat nice and square as they pull down tight. Every brand is...

RE: Just bought Century Hawk Pro, need help with hardware!?

Hey there,
Just a comment on Gyros. I have an Esky Headlock gyro on a Belt CP.... It works great for basic flying and $38 shipped off EBay, you can't beat it. I gave up on standard gyros after a...

RE: ........."BELT-CP THREAD"........

Hey Helismith,
The stock gyro does not look for a signal from the transmitter, it is only adjustable by the pot screw on top. I turned it up until the tail started wagging, then backed off until...

Enjoy your Belt CP!...

The gyro sucks! I fought with mine a few times and pitched it for the...

As I recall, Futaba servo plugs have a "lip" on one side. It is a guide to help the end user plug them in the right way. Trim them off so that the plugs will fit in the receiver. ...

RE: ........."BELT-CP THREAD"........

Pesty 351,
Be sure when you select a servo or servos, they are futaba or futaba copies. The jr, spektrum, and hitec all turn the opposite way. Since the collective is not reversible on the radio,...

I had a similar twitch on my nephew's HBK2,
