Hey Bob,
I am in the process of building a TREX 450 XL (CCPM) and appreciate all the help your videos have given me. I am using a Hitec Eclipse 7 Tx with the 7 channel HF-08RD Tx, Phoenix 45 ESL, HS-65HB servos with a HS-61 for the tail rotor. I shoehorned an AON 2815-3500 into the motor bay, and having a little difficulty fitting and routing the electronics. The LiPo battery is massive (Impulse 3 cell 2100 ), the Rx is way too wide for the Rx bay and the ESL. Everything is dry fitted but as a total flingwing noob (Models anyhow) I could use some guidance as to the perils of electronics placement in my specific case
I have found a couple of ways to streamline the installation, but need the benfit of your experience.
1. Can I cut the motor wires down? I would like have it no more than 3 inches between the motor and ESL
2. Is it a problem mounting the Rx as shown?
3. Do you have any tips on the setup for the Eclipse Tx?
Oh, and by the way, as we are neighbors, I just have to ask........ You an Angels fan??
Thanks again for all the help, and maybe we can meet sometime, and I can buy you lunch
I also have a 450 XL CCPM but can't seem to find that particular video on Bob's page at Helifreak.
Is it gone becaus the heli is "older"?
Please help.
My small issues are the following:
- I am not able to get one of the servos to be fully vertical (parallel to the main shaft), is this a huge deal?
- I am using the center hole which doesn't make the linkages parallel to the ground, is this an issue?
- Whenever I am moving the stick somewhat quickly between position 2 to 3-4, the heli is wanting to rotate counter clockwise. The gain on the Gyro is set at about 60%.
I am running hs 55 servos all around along with GY 240 gyro.
Any advice?
