Yes please. For some of us who have never operated an IC engine, I would love videos of starting, tuneing, breaking in, maintaining, etc. Anything associated with running one of these. I am sure there are plenty of guys like me who only have electric experience. Thanks for the contribution.

[Azlum]

Any chance you could do a short vid showing how to properly set up your throttle linkage? This is one aspect that I am unsure of.

Thanks

[tdsounds]

I'm with Azlum and eyefly. I been flying nitros for almost 9 months now. I'm not even sure if my throttle linkage and engine tuning is right.

[drummer5140]

Wow very good video, will sure help me out when i get my new Trex next week, Thanks for the videos.........

[Mercuriell]

Put up engine starting - no big deal for ex-Raptorites but glow virgins might find it of interest !

[DebianDog]

Nitro virgins! :lol:

I never thought about it but you are right.

[benzmaster]

Good job Mercuriell, i would recommand you this glow plug adapter :
http://www.readyheli.com/RVO1015_Remote_Glow_Plug_Adapter_p/rvo1015.htm
it's very cool because you don't have to remove the canopi to start.
i'll make a little picture of my 600N to show how I've installed it.
thx for all your vidz that helped me a lot !!

this item is also amasing :
http://www.readyheli.com/HE50H06_External_BEC_RCE_B6X_TREX_600_Align_p/he50h06.htm
i'll buy it as soon as it will be in stock

[gbatch1]

I just got hold of one, not many are floating around the uk atm. no one to help all on my own :D anyone got a set up of the boom and tube. chears guys x

[benzmaster]

have a look at that : http://www.helifreak.com/viewtopic.php?t=38710

[benzmaster]

here is the glow plug extension picture

[Mercuriell]

here is the glow plug extension picture

That's very neat - I set up something similar with an RCA hifi plug but the ground connection wasn't working - maybe too much Loctite on the engine mount bolt so have to sort that out :)

[expertzx]

Would love to see a video on how to install the torque tube but I guess it's too late since you've already built your chopper.

:D

[benzmaster]

it's easy to install.
first measure the middle, then put blue loctite 5 cm away from the middle and install the bearing. Once it's stuck, you can put washing up liquid on the plastic part that goes around the bearing. for introducing the TT, use the plastic protection tube to push... and you're done. Install the tail boom into the frame, install the tail case and screw it.

[expertzx]

Thanks for the advise, was sitting there wondering how I was going to install it but you explained it very well. :noteworthy

[benzmaster]

:mrgreen:

[Mercuriell]

Thought I'd do a video of changing the front bevel gear and found a(nother) potential souce of binding which could cause tail issues - hope it's not too long-winded :badair:

Changing Torque Tube front bevel gear - 28MB wmv (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=mercuriell&filename=BevelGear1.wmv)

[benzmaster]

ouééé c'est le top, merci John

[Finless]

Mercuriell, WOW... I have not got a gear like that that was warped in that way. I have changed 4 myself. Yours looked warped possibly by heat or something?

Anyway nice idea for the fix BUT..... I would worry that the gear would float now and possibly move against the bevel drive gear thus leaving no backlash.

As a tip I would then use green locktite or thin CA to secure the inner race of the bearing to the plastic so the gear wont move forward. Just an idea to save premature wearing of the gears should the one gear move forward.

[benzmaster]

have you seen that, you can now buy 3 front drive gear set for 25$

I cant get your videos to work this message comes up (Cannot make directory email systems adminsitrator)EDIT:Its working now

[Mercuriell]

Burnt out the clutch lining on the 600N so put together a video on relining the clutch - not gonna win me an Oscar but if you never tried this might give some idea of what to expect. No fault of the 600N - fired up the wrong model on the Tx :oops: which threw the governor settings out - had to hang onto the rotor disk at about 1/2 throttle till I ripped the fuel line off :arggg:

You need to take out the self tappers each side into the fan housing and the video takes it from there. I think the fan must flex significantly during flight as it is pretty scored and the base of the GV-1 sensor was damaged (fixed with epoxy)

[benzmaster]

yeah cooooooll that was just what i was looking for !! merci beaucoup mon ami !

[Mercuriell]

After another clutch burnout (no one's fault 'cept moi :oops: ) I thought I'd video erniefritz' method of clutch removal from the top ! Nice one Ernie :noteworthy

[benzmaster]

Question : once you have loosen the screw and every thing is done, do you put loctite before tighten them back ?
personally I put blue loctite on every screw, even self taping screws.
I've replaced my liner, but I did it without removing the clutch bell housing.
just unmounted the motor, and placed the heli upside down on my knees.
this is for me the simple way :)
