Guys

Just about finished building my Freya and plan to make a debut with it this weekend. Anybody got any last minute advice, anything I should watch out for with this model?

Thanks

Gary

Check main mast up and down play after the first flight, mine loosens up each time I work on it.

Make sure you re-tighten all the main frame bolts after every 4 flights at least for the first 2 gallons. Once done, the freya will only need to be checked once 1 month.

If the heli wobbles during hover, try increasing the hovering throttle, the freya wants to hover at around 1450-1500 rpm.

Until you can get a good pilot to give your freya a good thrashing in the sky, don't invert at low altitude or else you might get a flameout if the plumbing in the main tank isn't done right.

The tailfin is crap. Change it at the soonest opportunity to something better and stiffer. It will save you tail blades and tail shafts.

Balance the woodies. They aren't as good as their 30 size woodies that came with shuttles.

I agree, I even added a header tank and put better tubing in the tank due to flame outs. I never had problems with the frame bolts though I hear a few people do. I changed all the frame and t/r case phillips head bolts out to socket head bolts too. I use carbon main and tail blades and went to carbon fins too. I also wasn't happy with the power to weight so I dropped in a .91...But all of these are afterthe fact items.....
