RE: those of you who own a blade msr

This is a tale of 3 friends. We all started with the Blade CX. I went toward a Falcon 40 fixed pitch and they both went for the collective pitch helos. Both are fliers. I was not even a good hoverer...

Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Parts

Soloboss here. I was on the Efight forum a couple of years ago. I've been out of single rotor helis for a couple of years and I don't see me going back in. For lazy afternoons I enjoy the peaceful...

RE: Coaxial for Outdoors Flight?

I've wanted to try one of these for quite some time. And I just may do it, but not right before the weather turns to the autumn / winter cold and wind. I haven't flown one but there are quite a few...

RE: CP Pro 2 for a newbie??

I used to be the guy who preached FIXED PITCH to the newbies. And usually someone from the other side would tell me that they flew their Blade 400 on day one with no effort. Know that there are folks...

RE: Struggling with Single Rotor basics

Hey ALL! - Happy Big Ole' Turkey Day to the whole, complete, entire, gang. I guess that would be "The Collective" in the old days.

RE: Struggling with Single Rotor basics

I got it!! #10,000. Who'd a thought it?
Through the coaxials and into the single rotor - which I threw into the trash twice before I sort of learned to fly it. Then graduated from the fixed pitch...

RE: Struggling with Single Rotor basics

Does anyone have a flying bumpkin? Huh? . . . I mean a flying Pumpkin? A little coaxial and a foam ball and some imagination should be good for a giggle.

RE: What is the Soloboss Mod for MCX???

I can help with that. I feel that the control board should be parallel to the linkages. That will result in the most movement of the swash arms when the servos push or pull. Don't expect a miraculous...

RE: MCX Mod in Progress

You got what you're gonna get. The MCX has a few small tricks and each has a small affect on the total performance. Do everything and you receive the sum of the revisions. If you look at the...

RE: mcx mod question

Nip about 1/16" off and push the board back against the post you cut off. If it looks good, put the screw in. If you need a bit more, trim it again. I cut 1/8" off and that was a bit too much. I put...

RE: Shrink wrap covering of stock Blade 400 rotor blades.

I did just about the same thing you are talking about. I damaged the tips of the shrink wrap and the ends of the wrap split. I cut the wrap back about three inches on each blade and wrapped the end...

RE: Do Xtreme SE 180 motors ever spin freely?

And in your spare time, get a set of the Silver brushes and break those in as you did the carbon brushes. Everyone agrees that the Silver brushes are the hot ticket to serious power.

RE: which MCX mod for better forward speed?

The Soloboss /J-Michael fix should be done along with whatever else you do. The cost is zero and time involved is about 5 minutes. Just remove the screws that mount the board - two screws. Cut about...

RE: Blade MCX too slow in forward

you can change the setting of the adjustable arm that connects the servo to the swashplate. Move the stick that controls your forward and backward movement. See which servo moves and which way it...

RE: We need to build a worksheet that will resolvesolve the advice problem. Questions about budget, expe
