RE: Shuttle ZX any good for a newb?

Shuttles are very nice heli's when setup properly. I've got one I've been flying for more than 12 years. If the heli and engine are in good shape, then this doesn't sound like a bad deal. Parts are...

RE: Heli Pilots

Have you tried the Instructor Locator here on RCU? There are also other pilot and club locators around the net as well.

I checked to see where Oxford was and it's a little bit of a drive to...

RE: 9C super

Dennis is absolutely correct ... just change the module to change bands (35MHz, 50MHz, 72MHz, 75MHz ... all with the same radio!). Since you're changing the RF section and not just the crystal,...

RE: New 14MZ user's your thoughts

And all this time I've only been kidding about the BSoD!!:):)

I'd have to agree about the 12V charger ... especially if you're going to loose the date and time every time you charge!

You...

RE: Help Locating Shuttle Z parts in USA?

Rick's and HeliProz probably have the best supply of parts for the Shuttles. Naturally (as I'm sure you've already found) neither have the ZS linkage set listed. My guess is that the part number has...

RE: Futaba 9CAP radio

If you learn on a 9CA, you will think that everyone else's switches are on the wrong side!:D The only time it might be a problem is if you fly with another Tx someday or you have an experienced pilot...

RE: AMA Center in Muncie Indiana

I was just going to mention the Air Force Museum in Dayton. That could be an easy day trip for you Vallon. Totally awesome museum, like Mike said. I've been to the Smithsonian many times, but I like...

Same here ... I'd like to see the pics. I one day hope to get there in person. But your pics will do until then. :D

RE: 6v battery okay?

I use the Hobbico Quick Field Charger and charge my NiMH at just under 1C ... about 1.8A for the 2100mAH packs. This charger has settings for NiCd, NiMH and Li packs. It seems to work very well. Any...

RE: 6v battery okay?

I haven't heard anyone say not to use the NiMH packs ... I'm going to have to do some searching for that one. I'd love to know the reason. I'm using AA cells, but lots of people use A's or sub-C's as...

RE: 6v battery okay?

It's hard to tell whether your equipment will be able to handle the 6V. They may work fine or may smoke after a while with the higher voltage. I went looking through some old paperwork and found the...

RE: 6v battery okay?

I'm not familiar with your specific electronics, but many of the servos, receivers, gyros, etc, will handle 6V with no problem ... while others won't. You'll have to check the specs on each piece to...

RE: Direction of blades?

Looking down from the top, the rotor turns clockwise on "liquid" powered heli's. I don't have any electrics, so I don't know if any of them reverse the rotation or not.

Also, looking from the...

RE: Which band, 50 or 72"

That was going to be my comment exactly. We have one ham guy where I fly and he's the only one that doesn't worry about someone else being on his channel.[:o]

RE: Ok ok I crashed!!

Maybe it's an obstacle to help to discourage you from flying over the pits. Of course, some may see that as a challenge. [X(]

RE: Im flying a DOG!!!!

The problem with the wag can be several things; from gyro gain setting and drive belt tension to headspeed and engine smoothness.

- If it's a fairly consistent wag, you can probably rule out the...

Good point; forgot to mention that. There's no easier way of bending a main shaft or spindle!! (short of flying it into the ground :D ) You could break/bend a bunch of other parts as well!

RE: 4ch radio

You can get by with 5 channels if your gyro doesn't have remote gain control; i.e. the Futaba GY240. You will, however, need a radio that can mix the throttle and collective pitch. These are both on...

RE: Test stand

I made a stand from 2" square tubing that fits in the hitch on my truck. A little bit of overkill, but it works. Theres a couple pics in my gallery.

RE: R/C setup on my new Rap90, HELP!!

Mart,

It looks like the crystals are the problem. Your Tx is transmitting on 35.090MHz (channel 69) within the 35MHz "band" while your receiver is looking at 35.080MHz (channel 68). You will...

RE: R/C setup on my new Rap90, HELP!!

The transmitter and receiver have to be on the same channel within the 35MHz band ... the channels are labeled from 60 to 84, I believe.

How far "back and forth" are we talking? Are they going...

RE: microcontrollers

A PIC chip works well controlling a servo directly. I think I set the period up somewhere around 20ms, if I remember correctly (been about 9-10 years). More recently, we've used a PIC to control the...
