VBar setup on 600N with Kasama head

[grandrc]

We just put a VBar on our 600N with Kasama Head this weekend. It flew very nice. And we came up with a neat way of solving an overtravel of the head mechanics. Instead of driving the blade grips directly, we took advantage of the levers that already comes with Kasama head (see the pictures below).


Note: in the second picture we tighted the other end of the ball link that used to attach to the flybar seesaw to the main hub.


With this setup we are able to control the pitch range from +/- 12 to +/- 15, and the cyclic range from +/- 8.5 to +/- 10.5

Here is our heli setup:
Head RPM: 2200
Blades: Align
Governor: Align
Engine O.S. 50 Hyper

Below is out actual setup of our VBar.



Hope this is useful information. Any questions please feel free to contact us at staff@grandrc.com

Thanks,
Ed

Doesn't having the links at an angle like that mess up your phasing ?

[grandrc]

It shouldn't change the phase because the link angle is unchanged from the flybar setup (we didn't modify the link angle).

Thats really interesting Ed - I'll post pictures of my setup soon - I plan to just link straight to the main grips and maybe tone down movement on the V-Stabi

Pretty cool setup. Thanks for sharing Ed!!:noteworthy

Interesting setup Ed, now you're going to make Bob convert his Kasama Head T600 to flybarless.;)

By the way, how does it fly with two tail gyros?:)

Kevin, the engine bogged down a bit!!
