Here is the only link I can find to a Hirobo Shuttle ZX:[link]http://warhammer.mcc.virginia.edu/ty/heli/hirobo/shuttle/zxassy/zxassy.html[/link]
It is not the best in terms of quality and convienence but it is better than nothing.
Check out this site too if you haven't seen it yet.[link]http://www.raptortechnique.com[/link].It is good for an overview on setting up the heli even though it is dedicated to the Raptor, most of it applies to all helis in general.
If you can hover an electric well then you should have no problem hovering a nitro.I tried the new Protech Zoom 400 (awesome heli
) the other day and it is quite similar to a nitro heli if not slighly more difficult.
Hope the manual helps!
Thanks for the link to the Shuttle manual - it was "readable" from my notebook screen so it wasn't that bad. One thing got my attention though... On page 12 of the manual, there's a line that goes something like "once the heat shrink tubing has SHRANK". I remembered laughing at this 10 years ago when I was putting the ZX together so it must be the same manual.
Flying an RC heli is not easy... well, at least for me. I've been playing around with my tiny indoor Dragonfly and I notice that it gets really unstable just when its about to lift off. It starts to yaw right and roll left. To overcome this, I found that I had to give it a sudden "blip" of throttle to get it a foot or 2 off the ground and once its off the ground, it seems to be easier to control. I don't know how best to describe this phenomena but it seems to me as though the heli's own blades are creating some kind of turbulence that diminishes as the heli gets higher. Does this happen in the nitro ones too?
