EVO 50/newb friendly

[Tommy Norman]

is the evo 50 newb friendly. i can keep a blade cp pro in the air without crashing it cant quite hold it in one spot yet(about a 10 ft circle) and i only have around 10 battery packs experience on it

[SteveL]

The EVO will just sit there when you lift it off.

[z11355]

you can set it up to be newbie friendly. thats not a problem

[Jafa]

Low mobility settings, lead and brass weights = Easy to hover/fly

[Mike C]

You have to run up and kick it to get it to move :mrgreen: rock solid :wink:

If you can fly a Cp the sceadu will be boring :glasses2:

[Tommy Norman]

i can so so hover a cp without crashing it. i appreciate the help

[z11355]

you might want to practice more w/ the CP before you try something larger.

[Tommy Norman]

i heard the small elect. like that are harder to learn than the big ones. i can hover the raptor 90 on the sim but i dont think its that easy for real

[Tommy Norman]

does anyone make a fiberglass canopy for the evo.

[raymond1428]

Tommy try R.C Powersupply.com sceadu parts part number Ps080

[Tommy Norman]

thanks. i've looked quite a bit and have only one place

[Tommy Norman]

well after about 12 hours i have the evo finished just needs electronics and motor. it went together real smooth without any hitches. i'm happy so far :mrgreen:

That's VERY funny man! lmao

I am trying to decided between this heli, a JR Venture 50, Airskipper 50 or some other 50 (excluding the Raptor).

Are there any upgrades for this heli, like alum head, tail, etc. or are they not really required?

Tommy, you fly it yet?

[Tommy Norman]

not yet i have picked up a dx7 radio and hitec 5625 servo's for it. i've been flying my cp pro

[SteveL]

There are upgrades but not really required.
I like the AL head block (Holds 2 sets of dampners)
AL washout base
AL Radius block
and most of all the Delrin DTDS set (Makes it quiet)

[Tommy Norman]

well after 2 months she's almost ready to lift off. i finally installed the radio,motor and gyro only the pipe is left starting to get excited :D will give a update on first hover

[captcasper7]

Good news, hope to see the update soon, and those all important first flight pics :D

hey fellow flyers, I am considering buying a EVO 50 becaseu my local instructor can set it up with his eyes closed , and handcuffed.

I am concerned about getting parts for the EVO. I tried looking into heliproz.com and other sponsors in this website, but find there is not a lot of parts for this heli. In contrary, many sites have many parts for the raptor. I am thinking twice now...

if anyone knows where there is a reliable and consistent source of EVO parts, pls let me know :)

Thanks All!!!

[Gscott]

Try Rick's (www.ronlund.com).

IamSerious,
I have gotten 90% of my parts for the Scedu 50 & EVO 50 for the last 5 yrs from Heliproz (very few parts that they dont have!). To find the part that you need just do a search on the Hirobo part number without the dash, i.e. 0412140 (SD Tail boom 695m)
Also over $100 order, no shipping charges, and parts arrive it 2 days.
Taken together, Parts and shipping are pretty equal between Heliproz and Rick's.
Gus...

[Tommy Norman]

[captcasper7]
