RE: HK-450GT CCPM Alloy T-Rex compatible - Part III
I posted and PM'd him.
He's online.......lets see if I get a rise!
I figgered he got killed in one of those phreakin' riots they had over there!
Kinda good to know he's still out there!
I wonder if he still "flies"?

I was about to start flying the 450s, so close to get used to but now can`t fly even the BOL as I could.
I wish your family is alright and going strong on the CPs. Except of flying (and buying) I miss you much !

@Everyone,
Hey, post some times that you might be free to do a Phoenis fun fly with live rb blather! btw, he committed to me
@rb, thanks for poking me on the 500...I charged my new battery and took her for a fly today. First I thought I'd upgrade to 4.02....didn't work...duh, I knew it wasn't and "S"...put 4.01 on, it was fine. Definitely handled the wind better (12 mph gusts to 23). But it did have a bounce on pitch input so some tweaking is needed there (turned pitch gain down to 32 from 35, no change. I still feel suspicious about those 510's....). Worst was a terrible high ptiched whine the whole flight....motor bearing have gotten pretty bad. So do I replace bearing in the old low power 500L or just get a new motor? Anyone have experience with this onehttp://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ize_heli_.html
Everyone's input is appreciated
Best,
Ken

Hiya Ken!
I'm going to try to reserve tomorrow PM to get my Phoenix up and runnin' again. (Lemme see, if it's 1300, Thursday, April 18th MY time then it's Tuesday, April 11th 1967 0900 YOUR time right?)
My ALIGN 500 Flew TERRIBLY out of the box. It "chucked". So's I replaced the rubbers with more stiff ones. Nawp, Read the forums. Upped the motor output a bit. Nawp. Read the forums. Upped it some more. Hmmm?? But Nawp. Finally did 100 100 100 100 100 and that joker flies GREAT. It seems that the Align ESC wants full output. I called the behavior of "bounce" on pitch "chucking". I still get "chucking" when I fly with a weak battery or when the battery becomes weak.
Upon reading about that particular heli I found simply that my problem was inherent in it's design. My only experience was with Hobby King and their propensity to "under rate" their motors and ESC's. When you buy their product that joker has more UMPH that it's rating. Align (or at least the 3 year old version that I have) spec their suff EXACTLY as it says on the box. Imagine that as I was slipping away from these God awful Hobby King helis (forgive me Rob) and I have finally "arrived" with a genuine Align and it flew like CRAP! My HK500GT was wonderful and I get me a posh git genuine Align and DOH!?!
Straight 100's solved my issue all together.
As for bearings I would go that route 1st if it's the original motor. My HK motor no longer exists on their site but my experience with the Scorpion knock off has been good. Just read what the forums say for quality if you go that route.
All the best!

rb, I'll keep an eye out for your online status. I might have to run some errands this afternoon for a bit.
Ah, 100's uh...I'm running 90's. Might try that in a bit as I oiled the p i s s and greased the s h i t out of the motor bearings last night. I've watched the vids on the 500l bearing replacement. I can do it but don't know if I want the pain. I also think this was a major issue with the 500, underpowered. 600-800 watt'ish 500L vs 1500 + all the replacement motors have.
Ok, who else will join us in Phoenix?
Oh, anyone know what time it is?

Had a blast at the Flying Club today!
Got to see an SAB Goblin 500 "go in"! OUCH!
Got my eye on a "crumb" that may come my way in the 550 class!! Woot!
Met a young man that flies for a living a [link=http://www.rcheliresource.com/notable-pilots/bobby-watts/]Mr. Bobby Watts[/link]. Nice fella. He gave a bunch of 4500kv packs away but I deferred to the senior members!
Very windy and only got in a few flights but gonna try again tomorrow AM!
All the best!
