Looks good bobby!

Is it the boxxter where the square battery can be mounted in a protective CF box?

What battery, motor and gearing do you plan to use?

[BobbySmith]

Hi paul iam using the ORBIT 30-12, jazz 55 esc and the Evo 10s1p 3700 cells

Yes as far as i kow you can put the batterys ina box to protect them.I cant read Geramn so iam going off the pictures

[BobbySmith]

The battery tray can be raised or lowered a few mm so i got to finsh itwhen i can put the canopy on ( it is drying right now)

[BobbySmith]

Here is the one way pulley this is really cool the belt goes to the motor

[BobbySmith]

This is the tail drive and the partial assembled tail box

[PDC]

[BobbySmith]

My build is @ a stall i need my servos they didnt show up yesterday :(

[marcelino]

Hey guys, did not know there are some Roxxi 55 owners here!
:D

[pwkpete]

Very cool, I like the other slots you cut in the canopy!

We may have to have a Roxxter Forum now :)

[Laurens]

I love the way they designed that heli.

[marcelino]

Roxxter forum would be a nice idea. :)

can`t wait to hear your flight reports... especially if you like more the FAI or the 3D Mainbladeholder-arm (maybe someone can tell me the correct word for this:oops:)

Here is nobody flying with the 3D-arms. I`m the only one. Too aggresive on cyclic
:dontknow


Pete, are these mainblades i can see on the photos the LF-powerblades?

[BobbySmith]

Marcelino from what i could put together i thought i had the 3d arms what is the differance??


I cant read German

[BobbySmith]

Man iam debating on cutting holes i know it helps cooling but tthe helicopter wont fly as well threw maneuvers

[pwkpete]

Marcelino,

Yes, those are the LF powerblades.

I think Lutz made a mistake and shipped all kits with FAI levers. I am sending hime email now. I wouldn't have known, unless I had a set labeled!

Thx!

[marcelino]

It`s not a mistake. I heard something like all Kit`s will be shiped with the FAI levers (think "lever" is the word i was searching) now. That`s because everyone removed the 3D ones and replace with FAI type.

the 3D levers are shorter and the linkages from the mixing arms up are more straight.

if it works again, i`ll post a photo. The one attached to the blade-holder is the shorter "3D" for 1:1 ratio, the one lying loose on the blade-holder is the FAI.


I killed all my Polyquest XP 3700 with this Heli. They were allways really hot after flying. That`s why i cut out so many holes :wink:
I did not feel any difference in flying after cutting these extra holes.

The FP EVO are much cooler now... Don`t know if you would need more than the "regular" Holes using these Packs. Next hot item is the Motor now.


I am not sure if these Powerblades are symetrical. Tell me what you feel when you fly inverted and we will see if this is the same feeling i had.
I am very happy mith the 600 V2`s now. But they pull some more Amps...

Bobby, if you would like to have translated something, feel free to ask.
I will try to do this as good as my english will give me a chance.
