Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

Rayelljay,

Quickly, I have to catch up, been gone for a couple days.

1) Don't go brushless on the tail, the motor will last forever, but, the spin- up time time lags, compared to a brushed motor. And response won't be what you expect.

2) Funny Thing:: You mentioned Dual Motor. I installed one tonight, got tired of burning up $50 in DD motors.

Very Pleased with the Dual Drive performance, I'm gonna post some pictures on intstallation.

Later,

Dave / Choppersrule

The Eng;ishman 'ere.......
Can I throw out a question.....?
If the reason for going to a DD tail is primarily motor life and motors fail 'cos of brushes.....would there be any problem about going brushless in the tail.....?
I'm back to stock in the tail but I did order a CNC dual motor mount this A.M. so I'll give that a try.
I have the mH head set up ready to go but the 3DX-300 V2 cnc head is giving me fits around the pitch control links...got some cogitating to do....Arrow...you have any closups of your rig you wouldn't mind sharing.....?
I work with geometry all and every day in my work and I know there's an optimum condition....just can't quite get there.
I'm reasonably knowledgeable 'bout most things but heli heads ain't one of them. The standard bell-hiller upfit for the CP is symmetrical about the pivot point of the links....the mH head has links that are not symmetrical and they are straight but the other head introduces an angle into the link and that's what's getting me.....'tis there for a purpose I'm not recognizing.
Is there a head guru out there to set me on the path to enlightenment.....?
