Hello everyone,
as I am new here, let me introduce myself: My name is Sven and Ilive in Philadelphia Pa. I am infected with the coax virus since early 2008 and bought a BL in April (when Xtreme already had announced its blades
)
You don' t know anything about me, but you already know some of my pictures (if you try the links people post here)
If anyone remembers posts #495 to #500 about the German tuning parts - I am the one who posts the pictures on RCLineTV !
If anyone is still interested (and I imagine some of you might be) the parts are sold only by two vendors in Germany (
www.helischrauber.de and
www.helibude.de) and manufactured by a very small company in Germany. German engineering meets Chinese heli ...
I am trying to bring those parts to the US (and the rest of the world for that matter) unfortunately I don't have a website or onlineshop (yet), but I am working on it.
Currently there are 3 products for the BL:
* upper rotorhead with integrated adjustable flybar
* upper bearing housing
* lower rotor head
The upper rotorhead has an integrated flybar - which is unique as far as I know. The flybar rods and weights can be ordered individually and there are different lengths (you can even use replacement rods from Xtreme if you remember to loctite them.
The lower rotor head is unique as well, as it consists only of one piece (at least that is unique for rotorheads for the "small lamas"
The bearing housing is bigger and a lot more robust than the factory one - and it is adjustable to a certain degree.
I am looking forward to seeing a number of other products from this company - their name is SKYTEC - hit the market in the months to come.
Also as you guys are talking about blades a lot, has anyone ever tried the ones for the Walkera Lama400? They fit the original BLblade holders perfectly, are slightlly longer and create more lift ... and THOSE are right now the hardest blades available on the market.
Best regards,
Sven
