Default RE: freya eagle sst evolution HELP!

Just a thought here, I'm kinda worried about the statement " I want to drive my neighbors crazy"

A 90 size nitro is a very powerful and dangerous machine. I've run my 30 size nitro on the front lawn and it became such a "kid magnet" that I no longer run my nitro helicopters at home let along fly them there. Even a simple break in run with a rich running 90 will smoke out an entire neighborhood. Do you belong to an R/C club? Probably safest to fly there and get some local setup help.

That said, you have the makings of a fine flying helicopter with the parts you have so far. There are lots of great folks who can help you with your heli on this site. Take your time, set up carefully and above all have fun but respect the machine for its inherent dangers.

Governors and sophisticated electronics are becoming the norm you'll have to set them up as you go. Most come with really good instructions.

As for the header tank, it simplysits between the main tank and the carb. The main tank supply line connects to the vent on the header tank. Then the supply line from the the header connects to a fueling "T" fitting then a fuel filter and on to the carb. Fuel filters are an absolute must in this hobby to keep crud out of the tiny holes in your carb. To leave them out is to invite disasterous lean runs that can ruin your day.

Not sure where you can pick up an manual for your Freya a search of the site might hook you up or someone might know the part #


Have fun with your heli and be safe, the future of our hobby depends on the safe actions of us all.
