RE: Nick Maxwell / 3D BCPro
wow...love to know what setup that is

RE: Nick Maxwell / 3D BCPro
WOW.....wish I could do that with mine.!!! :D

RE: Nick Maxwell / 3D BCPro
wow, ballistic.
my guess on the setup from what i can see: an orange tail rotor, indicating a direct drive tail. black mains, must be CF the tail appears to have a hh gyro looks too powerful to not be brushless without the cf blades, that looks like my setup. maybe in a few years i'll be able to do the same with mine.:) OK, now we know the tail motor can do some 3d and have video to back it up. i'm dying to see the capabilities of the belted cp on video. |
RE: Nick Maxwell / 3D BCPro
BAH, I can do that..........................................NOT!
That was so sick, thanks for posting. I too wonder what mods he has done. He must have there DD or dual motors on the tail. And I also think it looks far too powerful to be anything but brushless. Still some info on the heli would be nice. |

BCP Pro V-Blades Futaba 12z Transmitter E-Flight 370 brushless E-Flight brushless speed control E-Flight heading lock gyro GWS EDF50H tail motor GWS 3x2 WIDE prop *** The KV is 4100. I think that is the only KV the inrunner come in. As for the gyro gain I use it throught the 12Z. I just turn the gain up as high as possible on the gyro itself then back it down on the TX. I think I am running about 45% gain. The V-Blades are in production by Vic at V-Blades. They are actually 255mm(made for the Hornet2). They don't hit with even the stock tail blade. Very rigid and almost no twist, so the result is very smooth helicopter. They track perfectly too. As for rotor head modification I have basically locked the dampeners up. I removd the stock o-ring and replaced them with bearings! There is no more dampening at all. The 3x2 wide is the square one, rather than the curved blade. I actually forgot the pinion. But I got everything they recommend for the brushless. It is completely E-Flight except the 12z and tail motor/prop/heatsink. The packs I am using are the stock Pro 11.1V 800s. I will soon be flying TP 910s or 730s here soon. Should see quite a power increase with them, as they are higher C rating. I my opinon the only thing that it lacks is the all out torque and power of the motor. I will be playing around with some differnt motors possibly soon. For a long time I battled the tail not being able to handle the power of the brshless during full pitch backwards. Now with the DD tail drive it is no problem. I have enough tail power left going up in main rotor power should not be an issue. I still worry I might run into that tail issue again. I have a some GY240s and GY401s laying around I might play with next. Just too see if I can fine tune the tail just a bit more. It holds great, but piro rate is not all that consistant. I also have been working on some home made paddles for it. In this video they are stock, but later I can take pictures of my own design paddles. I have flown my paddles about 20 times now and I think they are a big improvment over the stock ones, it is just very difficult to build two sets identical, meaning when testing, if I break a set, I might not be able to make an exact set again. So right now I want to try a couple different sizes, etc and compare for a final weight and lenght that I like. The 3-1 is stock and that is what I am using to control the tail motor. I am also using the stock reciever. The 12z works with the BCP unit, so its no problem. Original thread found [link=http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=580952]here[/link]. |
RE: Nick Maxwell / 3D BCPro
Looks like me trying to hover! Difference is, he lands, I crash (and a lot sooner)! LOL!
Seriously, pretty darned impressive. I somehow didn't think a CP Pro could do all that. And it doesn't seem all that far from stock either. |
