******,, did you get the nitro?? what does it look like? quality or bs.


Not yet. I ordered it UPS Ground with free shipping. Should get it by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Its soo hot that I called MTA Hobbies and they had sold out of all thier Knight 50 3D kits. Ah Clems from SCHC had secretily bought one also till I spilled the beans that I got one. He says his looks top quality as he got to see it in person at MTA Hobbies before he bought it.

Thanks for adding me to the list. I imagine I'll have my radio back from Hobby Services well before the 28th. :)

It's a good thing, too....I'm starting to jones for some stick time.

[brovic777]

Yea, hopefully you'll get it this week. You should I figure. I'll get my nitro probably today, but don't got the $$$$$$$ yet to get the motor, pipe, regulator, gov, and a few other things I need. Gotta sell my 2 6s batteries, which ain't going too well.

Here's the updated list:

I think I got one of the non-strap versions. Will that still work? And what is it for?

[Trooper Sam]

My guess is it'll wrap right around the fan hub and let you twist it tight. I wonder if you need a crank locking tool to use it?

And it's a happy day...my 14MZ is back from Hobby Services, as good as new! I never knew what a proper touch screen felt like. :)

I was now told I need a piston lock. Then another person says I need a dial indicator. So what do I really need now?

I'm going to the Hobby Shop to ask.

[Trooper Sam]

I think a crankshaft locking tool for the OS50 would be best, rather than a piston lock.

As for a dial indicator, I know I need to buy one and learn to use it. The Vibe, like the Synergy, and probably a lot of other helis out there, pretty much requires the use of a dial indicator when you install a fan hub so that you can measure runout. Runout, if I understand correctly, is how true and straight the item in question is mounted and how true it rotates.

[brovic777]

My gosh, this stuff is getting complicated. I just got an el cheapo piston lock for $7 bucks at Hobby People.

[Airboss]

dont use a piston lock, it can damage engine. use the crank locking tool. and depending on the type of fan hub your kit has it may require a dial indicator.

[Airboss]
