RE: Flying under the winds

Actual flying isn't so rough in the wind, but landing is much more challenging. It's like landing a yo-yo. When you get below about 15' your helicopter plummets to the ground, so you naturally over...

RE: Blade 400 PNP needs pimped

I had better luck with HS-55s while learning to fly (and crashing alot). After I got a little better control and more flights with less crashes, I switched back to the DS-75s. They are more precise,...

RE: Blade 400 PNP needs pimped

For "pimping" purposes, I would highly, highly recommend a good tail servo. I recently crashed my B400 catastrophically and had to rebuild it from the skids up. I put a high speed Futaba digital 3156...

RE: New Blade SR: collective pitch!

One thing to consider about these "CP" size helis with electric motor tails is that they are expensive to fix (relative to a B400). You can buy many B400 replacement parts in a package of two for the...

RE: Axe CPv3 Tail Motor Problems..Please Help!

It sounds like your 3-in1 gyro ESC unit. I am only guessing, based on your tail acting wacky and it still getting power. You may want to check the three adjustment pots. I will warn you, when you...

RE: HELP: Removing a one-way bearing?

Thanks! Does anyone know if it only comes out in one direction? I cannot imagine removing it without damaging it. I was thinking of making a simple fixture from wood and using a vise to press it out,...

HELP: Removing a one-way bearing?

I am rebuilding my Blade 400, but this question applies to nearly all heli designs. How do you get the one-way bearing out of the main gear? It is too late for this one, because it was mangled when I...

RE: Axe CPv3 Gyro upgrade

Thanks!

That is exactly what I have as well. I did not think of trimming to the left before initializing the ESC. That will give me more right trim when I am flying.

I have to say that I am...

Axe CPv3 Gyro upgrade

I recently installed a GWS gyro on my Axe CPv3 using the stock tail motor setup. When I arm the ESC, which involves pushing the rudder stick all the way to the left, the motor comes on after I return...

RE: are these blades any good for cp pro?

Definitely support your LHS. I went through some rough times with my own, such as getting parts, etc. At one point I had to have a (painful) discussion with them about service, but things got much,...

RE: What electronic parts should I get for my next step heli kit

Great radio. Cheap receivers and high performance. Don't skimp on the radio. Believe me, even when you have a 'real' job you still need to stretch your money.

Rebuilding Servos

I have a couple questions about rebuilding servos. I stripped two of them in my B400 (e-flite DS75), and have the gears. Please correct me if my assumptions are incorrect:

1. The main shaft,...

RE: Helimax Axe CPv3

You can also use the tail blades, which is probably self-explanatory. They are cheaper as well...

Honestly, from what I have read and experienced, the CPv3 varies heli to heli. Some times you...

RE: Airline Travel w/Helis

RE: HS-55s are NO JOKE

The three I am using now are from an Axe CP that I have crashed at least 12 times while learning to fly. They seem pretty darn resilient.

I am sure they make some lemons as well, though.....

HS-55s are NO JOKE

I have to tell you that I was impressed with the e-flite DS75 servos, but I was a little let down when two of them stripped in a mild crash. I replaced them with some WELL USED HS-55s I had laying...

RE: MSR - is the DX6i worth buying?

You will not be disappointed. I got mine with the B400 and I am amazed. I bound it to my boy's MCX and it is like a different heli compared to the stock transmitter. You made a great choice.

RE: B400 tail grips wobbly

I have learned that to fly helis is to crash them now and again. One of the biggest selling points of the B400 was the fact of how cheap it is to repair.

My enemy (again) was loss of...

B400 tail grips wobbly

I just got my new B400 for Christmas (woot). I love it, and it flies like a dream.

I noticed right as I got it out of the box that the tail grips are very wobbly on their shaft. The tail blades...

RE: How do you get over the depression?

To answer your original question,

Prozac, 40mg once a day. You may never have sex again, but it will ease the loss of your heli.
