sceadu evo 50 kit question

[Laurens]

Since I'm still doubting about what heli to get next, I want some info on the sceadu line. On cyberheli I noticed that there are much options available. From the hirobo website I can see that the kit name tells about what upgrades are already in the kit, but I don't understand what means what.

HPM-SWM = most bling included?

SWM = 120 degrees swash?

EVO 50, HPM (Mechanical mix); Hyper 50, MPII, 9252 ele/ail, 9350 pit, gy601, TT600mm, CX Dampeners, delrin main, Freya Tail grips, Freya speed up gears.

A bunch of extra spindles :D

I have the SWM kit, it is 120 degree swash and comes with 600mm glass blades and Mah 92mm carbon T/R blades and muffler.

I just bought the HPM kit (mechanical mixing). The SWM means eCCPM mixing. Depending on your skill level, you may want the SWM version. If you're like me and you're just at the "loop and roll" stage of flying, you probably won't notice the difference. Some people say there is night and day difference between the kits, others say they can't tell....( I probably couldn't :!: ) The EVO is an excellent kit! Very high quality construction and design. You won't be disappointed, I'm sure.
The 120 deg swash is the type of swash you will have to set your radio up for if you decide to go with the SWM version. Some are 120, some are 140, I forget the rest but there are different types of setups used. I personally liked the 120 deg setup on the Tiger 50 I had. It was a very smooth setup. I also like the 120 because it's an equal spacing setup....link point every 120 degrees around the swash. But hey.....that's just me :glasses2:

Oh and if you decide to go with the HPM kit, you can always buy the upgrade parts for the SWM later.

I won't have a problem setting up 120 degrees since my Caliber already is that. I am at the same level, so I don't think I'll feel the difference.

FWIW, 140 degree ccpm is to make the servos move the sam amounts on the elevator axis. If you look the swish from the side there is one elevator link and the other two are closer to the mast (pivot point) and the servos don't have to move as far for an elevator command than the single servo, which moves opposite and more than the pair. In 140º CCPM, the servos all move the same amount because of the pair being the same distance from teh swash plate as the single one. My vigor is set up for 140º and there is a noticable difference from the 120º ships I have flown. there is less interactionbetween collective and elevator. also I didn't have to fool with the endpoint adjustments and sub trims nearly as much on my vigor than on the 120 ships.

All that being said, I have the SWM evo and it flies quite nicely. I did have to do quite a bit of twiggleing to get the swash to move up and down without interaction, which probably has more to do with the 8101 (non digital) servos than anything else. the other thing I would change is to make the elevator an "A" link instead of relying on the shuttle type radius block to keep the swash from rotating. Other than that, it is a smart loking setup.
