ok heres the deal,I have a hawk pro (that I love)bought used,the previous owner did all the upgrades you
can think of(mechaical,not bling).......the .32 in it gets hot,no matter what I do to the needles. I have so far completely taken the motor apart,nothing in the way of blocking fuel flow,internals all looked much better than I expected!! I am at a loss here,I am going to upgrade to a .37,just not now,but I want to be able to continue to fly this bird without worrying about it cooking and falling from the sky.
here is what I've done so far
1.pulled motor apart,no obstructions to fuel flow
2. check fan and shroud,all intact
3.tried numerous needle settings,1 turn out to 4 turns out.
4.checked all fuel lines and tank,no leaks or obstructions
what it does.....
it fires up very easily ,has plenty of smoke ,when flying sounds "a touch" lean
touch button,too hot,cant keep finger on for any length of time
richen 1/4 turn,no change
1/4 more no change
and it goes on the same from there,with little to no change in temp....
any ideas..I'll try em'!!!!
thanks guy and girls.. hope to get this one sorted out
one more quicky,what all is involved in upgrading to a hyper .50?? comprehensive list if poss.
p.s. the more involved I get in this hobby the more I grow to appreciate this community,versus other
heli forrums out there.Here there is a definate feeling of genuine friendship and respect (there's always a few exceptions,but they normaly get put in their place pretty quickly.!) The otherr forums I've tried seem to be all about the sponsors and a iron fist policy,with out helifreak I am not sure if I would even still be in the hobby ,the otherr site made me question if I wanted to!!! hats off to all!!!!
