RE: Baby Bee ARF by Clancy

I have one. It IS small enough to fly indoors however mine has only seen the outdoors. In stock form, it was really lacking in power. It took a while to gradually climb high enough to attempt some...

RE: RX Ant. Length

The formula is 2952/Freq (in MHz) = 1/4 wave antenna in inches. The wire size doesn't matter because there is immeasurable current flow in the wire. The antenna may be wound around a non-conductive...

RE: CELL PHONE BATTERIES

Tom91,
If you are charging those batteries straight off of a wall power supply with no Li-Ion charge sensing circuit attached, make sure those batteries are outside, on a non-flammable surface and...

RE: Floats for a micro heli

I was thinking of that too. The plan was/is to use some styrofoam rods (probably around 1-1/2 to 2" diameter) and mount it to the skids on the Hummingbird. I haven't been able to find any styrofoam...

RE: Futaba 6xhs

I am using that setup. I modified the GWS receiver to add channel 6 for a CP heli... No problems at all. Besides having both RX and TX on the same channel, make sure the receiver you have operates...

RE: Hitec 555 and Futaba 8uas CCPM

The pitch servo for CCPM is usually on channel 6. Unless you can change the assignment in your TX, the 555 won't work.

RE: Dragonfly main motor alternatives?

I have been using a 6V Graupner Speed 300 for months. It's still going strong. Rather than re-time the thing, I just hooked up the wires backward (red-black, black-red) at the motor. Probably...

RE: Fead Dragonfly Li-Poly?

Yes. I had to move the Li-Polys a little forward to maintain CG. Work out well however. Set at that angle (which it just naturally falls into), the batteries tuck nicely under the canopy. ...

RE: Fead Dragonfly Li-Poly?

A 2 cell Li-Poly pack (2s) measures 8.4V. Just right for our little birds. Here is how I mounted my Li-poly pack: http://www.sparerib.net/pix/batt1.jpg. Many of the hobby suppliers that advertise...

RE: Fead Dragonfly Li-Poly?

jarose,

For charging a 2-cell pack, a 12 volt power supply should be sufficient. I use a 12V 2A bench supply for my 2-cell packs and it works just fine. Look at...

RE: Humming Bird goes outside.... (then bits fall off...)

I had the same thing happen one time. I used a small drop of CA glue on the replacement. So far it is holding fast. I do check it periodically just to be sure however.

carbon fibre

Carbon fiber is strong however it is brittle if it's properties are exceeded. The stuff I got from the kite shop appears to have linear fibers(all laid in a row from end to end) where as the stock...

carbon fibre

There is carbon fiber and there is plastic (of one sort or another). To replace my landing gear struts, I went to a kite shop and bought some 2mm carbon fiber rod. This stuff seems tougher than the...

I believe he is talking about changing the rudder from right to left stick. The only approach I can think of to fix the aileron stick is to go back through your work. Heat may have melted a couple...

How did you mount your Li-Polys on your HB??

If you scroll a little further down the page on the link provided above, you'll see how I mounted my Li-Polys. My canopy fits fine and you can't even see the battery when it's on. Better yet, it...

Feda Spins CCW

I have had to put a small drop of light oil on both ends of my tail motor before. I have had the bushings dry out (or collect enough dust) that the motor couldn't reach full speed.
