Stryker Do you think yu have enough wires on your axe. Looks a lot more sufisticated than about three fifty or four hundred.
Did anyone notice hat there is a small metal bar in the leading edge of te blades?
Crashed teach you more than just how to spend money
Heh, I do think I have quite a few wires on the bird, yes. Mostly from the Hitec HS-55 servos, their connector cables are long. I'm actually waiting for a new replacement servo for one of mine anyway, but when I get it, I'll go through the effort to clean up the wirepaths and the like. With the new ESCs x 2, and the L.O.A., I have added some wires to it, but I wanted everything to be easily removable and modular. While it adds bulk, I have made sure to keep the CG quite balanced.
Yes, the stock wood blades have a graphite rod in them. I used a hobby coping saw to slice right through them, works just fine.
For greasing the main shaft, as it is metal to metal, I've been using white lithium grease, just a very very thin layer. Seems to work good for me.
