JABBA HAS BEEN BORN AND RAISED pics
here is some pics of my new bird I built with a whole lot of help from Ricktran. He talked me through just about everything and I learned alot of things about these birds through my process of converting a jabo into a JABBA!!!!!!! there is alot of pics but I forgot to get a pic with the lithium pack on it....
oh yeah I just put the bell-hiller mixer on...havent flown with it yet...its kinda late tonight but first thing in the morning....

RE: JABBA HAS BEEN BORN AND RAISED pics
Very nice "Jabba"!
Few minor things you may want to do:
- Use coffee straw and wrap antenna wire around it then put 2 piece of heatshrink at both ends of straw.
- Use small tie-wraps to keep all wires nice & neat. Tie them around g10 frame.
- Take extra pre-caution with Bell-Hiller mixer. It's very very sensitive!!!.
Since we have same heli and upgraded with similar parts except G10 frame, I'll call mine "Jabba2"
I want to get G10 frame but my landing skids with metal struts doesn't want to break!! So I have to wait ...
Regards

yeah...I have the micro antenna to instal still and I didnt have time yet to clean up the wires to make it look pretty....I was too busy test driving....What kinda precaution you mean? I dont want to mess it all up....looks like it dont let the fly bar move alot. Jabba is a great name. Im loving it.

RE: JABBA HAS BEEN BORN AND RAISED pics
just got done flying till battery was about dead.... The controlls are alot harder now then they were before. But its probley like you said I got to get used to them. It is very sensitive. I need to adjust my swashplate and the servo arms still to get it kinda level....right now I am in so much of a hurry to fly I just compensate for the unlevelness. makes it harder to fly but it is alot of fun...I guess I will have something to do wile waittting for the pack to charge 
these mixers are very easy to make. servo horns and arms ...thats it. hope your comes out well.

RE: JABBA HAS BEEN BORN AND RAISED pics
well I live about as far north in new york as you can get. I live about 20 minutes from canada. I am not a great pilot yet...I am learning fast though. I need to stick with one thing though. I keep putting more and more on and it makes it like the beginning again. I will get used to it though. I need to figure out how to put a video on this computer of mine.

yup I am going to get rid of the extra parts of the horns soon. I just have been playing with it too much.....although...the best part is putting it all together (BESIDES opening the stuff when it comes in the mail).

RE: JABBA HAS BEEN BORN AND RAISED pics
well i am now building my stock jabo back up from my extra parts I had laying around. I think I will do it all stock....maybey a swashball and a shaft collor...but I might not need the collar. I guess Ill see if I have all that it takes to build this bad boy up from nothing to a fully functional helli....who knows mabey ill sell it...but I doubt it....I can at least play with this when my JABBA waits for transplants.
