Known Issues

[terrabit]

I've been trying to decide which 90 to build for a while now. I was pretty well set on an eAurora or e-something but decided that I should give nitro its due consideration as well. It's been about three years since a rather disappointing run with a T600N and I think I might be ready to give it another try. So at this point I'm 99% shure I want to build a T700N.

Now, I know there are some issues with the stock kits. I've read tons of posts about the old main gears, the plastic bearing blocks, the stock ball links aren't so hot, frothy fuel tanks, and I've owned enough Align products to know that the tails can get sloppy pretty quick. But is there anything else that I should be aware of? Is there anything else I should add to the first order?

This is what I have in mind for an initial order:

T700NPro Super Combo
OS Max .91HZ (non-pumped)
2ea #8 OS Glow Plugs
Hatori OS 91HZ pipe
Fuel Magnet
AR 7100R rx
TP 2s 5000mah Prolite
Quick UK link and ball set (http://www.espritmodel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9555)
Quick UK clutch
Quick UK tail
Extra silicon tubing
Which bearing blocks?


I plan on converting to flybarless eventually so I'll use the stock gyro until then. In fact, I'll probably just use all the stock electronics for now unless someone convinces me that I shouldn't.

Anything else?

***(edit)*** Does the LE kit come with a throtle servo?

Get the Quick UK clutch and tail. I lost an engine due to the clutch failing and the stock tail is crap.

Upgrade those lousy main frame assy shoulder screws to screw and collets. Believe me you wont regret it when you have to disassemble the main frames. I used the Micro-Heli triple bearing adjustable clutch block and CNC Delrin 1.0 maingear. I have pounded my 700 pretty hard and no main gear stripping issues. Definite Quick UK links. Upgrade the tail assy to Quick UK also. I did after i threw off a grip and did a piroetting auto. Overall a fantastic heli for the price and a few upgrades.
