RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

Public Enemy,
I've heard that with the like90 blades, you need alot of power, possibly from both the main motor and battery, example, the EM300 motor w/ 10t to 12t pinion and possibly a 3s lipo. ...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

To use any other radio aside from the stock, like your JR, there are few ways to go, but I don't think you can use the stock 4in1, unless someone has the pinouts neccessary to wire it to the RX. The...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

I actually have the Baron 330 motor and it is definately too hot for the stock electronics. I'm saving it for a plane as it was too much for the df4 (now all brushless/separates setup). Even with...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

I'm using the mini dean connectors, maybe that's what they are called. They are polarized so they only go together one way. You solder and heat shrink your wire's to them, just like the larger...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

Vosadrian,
Glad you are enjoying your DF4. I can tell you that I stopped using the training gear after two attempts to fly with them as I was experiencing the same kind of issues when I first...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

Hey Tolla,
The differences in the trex's, besides the frames material, is that I think all of the S versions (S, SA, SE) use a direct servo to swash link setup, so yes it's CCPM, where as the XL...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

I think SB is talking about the Spectrum DX6 transmitter. It has the stiffest, notchiest feeling throttle that I've ever felt on a TX. I'm going to be needing to do the same thing to mine as well,...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

DNF,
Yeah, It was a really hard debate for me to decide what to move into for my first CP heli. I guess what drove me to the trex was the package deal I got, plus the belt drive on the tail. I...

Dragon No Fly,
Been out all week, but finally got a chance to catch up with all the new posts. I had also read about setting up the Phoenix 10 for the tail with the fastest startup and that is...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

RCboosted,
You're right that the MG's would be better on the cyclic, but from the research I did, it seems that most were running the HS65's in the configuration that I mentioned (HB's on the...

Thanks for the info on the DX6. I researched it alot and it does seem like most people like it. The more I researched and learned about eCCPM, I realised that a 3 point curve would actually...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

I think they're 3e batteries, about $15.00 a piece, but commonsense RC batteries would probably work too, maybe better. I had them for my lama2 and they're about 44grams. I have the superskids kit...

Sorry, I've been away from the forum for a bit. I got the fieago from Helihobby. I'm running an 8t pinion from a stock motor. After removing the pinion, I drilled it out carefully...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

The trinity sounds like it's a better choice that the barron 330, and you can't beat the price. Was it a bearing can? I had looked at it when you originally posted, but can't remember.

Thanks for the info. Now that you mention ti, I think I read about that before. The battery is now long gone and taken away, but if there's ever a next time, I'll be sure to do that as well. I...

If those X-UFO motors are lasting, then they are probably a good quality motor with carbon brushes, so they will last. Sometimes with these little motors, you get good brushes, sometimes you get...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

Good point stableblade. When I bought my DF4, I thought, well it's a walkera, so I'm taking a risk on the electronics, but we'll see. Worst case, I knew that if the frame/rotor system were good,...

How fast do you go through tail motors though? Some people burn through them quickly and others don't, depending on the motor they buy and their setup. If you go through them quickly, then it's an...

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

Bill,
So when you say it's spinning left, the nose is going to the left and the tail to right? CCW rotation? This would indicate that even though the tail is spinning, the gyro isn't holding the...
