Hi,

I've just gone separates and brushless on a stock Feda/Hummingbird, quite a job as this is my first heli and it had an all in one board I even had to resolder the servos, modify (butcher) the chassis and crame it all in.

I used a HLG200 Gyro, Pheonix 25 main ESC, Mini AC 1215/20 brushless motor, Pixie-20P tail ESC.

But atlast after even having to put the gyro on its side (didn't say anything about that in the manual) it all works and wow it work great. I can fly the thing fine without every 15 seconds it heading flat out towards whatever will do it the most harm or of the highest value. No longer does it keep full power 2 seconds after you've shut it down.

So next on my list is a better battery???? Lithium Ion/Lithium Polymer anyone know what the difference is?

Also I think if all goes well I could fancy a Piccolo Pro sometime in the future so I'm after a battery I can use on my Hummingbird/Feda and on a Piccolo Pro. I think the Piccolo Pro needs 10.8v battery (but I could be wrong) will this fry my tail motor?

Can anyone who has gone this route offer any advice re batteries/charges/suppliers etc.

Cheers,

David
