RE: Helimax 400 3d
To be truthful I realize know that my helis gyro isnt working properly as it should. The only way to explain it is to post a video of what the gyro is actually doing and what i had to do to get it to work. I thought the first gyro that came with the heli was acting the same way but just tonight I rechecked it and found that it is truly bad and nothing could have been done to repair it besides swapping it out. So know Im a little upset that this is the 2nd HM 4000 gyro with an issue. I called helimax again to explaine the problem and the said they would check it out on there end, but they may not be able to get back to me today.
I still feel the RXR version I purchase was worth the money I paid and if I have to eventually upgrade to another gyro then so be it, but I would like to have the stock equipment working properly so that upgrading would only be something I would consider because of my skill level not necessity.
Also I have had a few mishaps and have changed a few things to trex equipment.
First was the blade grips, the feathering shaft is exactly the same size so I just picked up a full blade set wich comes with blade grips; bearings and spacers.
I snapped one of the stock grips and didn't want to order from tower and wait for another pair to come in the mail.e
I also hit the tail blades a few times and needed new ones. The stock tail grips are a little tightt in fit for the T-Rex blades but the Blade 400 Tail blades are Identical and fit just right.
I also replaced the tail rotor shaft with a metal one that I had from my friends old 450xl. And I eventually upgraded the tail blade grips to the metal T-Rex 450 V2 grips when I snapped the old ones in and unintentional auto, caused by flying with thick gloves on.
