Well i am done with the setup so far. Soon i will make my testflight.

What you all think, do you like the wasp/bee look?

Looks good Max. :thumbup:

[LITHIUMSTATIC]

Is that the 6s version? What ESC is that? Can you list out the details of your setup?

[Tradhunt]

Looking good.... Looks like the stock compass esc... If you look on their site that's what they look like and mount that way... Their not offering the esc's with the kit's here in the US but I've seen them listed on site's oversea's with them included in the kit....

[Max2342]

Its a 8S Setup. Here are some details:

Batteries (Will test them):
-------------------------------------
2x KongPower 4S1P 5000Mah (I know they are heavy but should work i hope and had a good price)
2x KongPower 4S1P 3200Mah (We will see how many minutes 2-3 i get with my flying style)

Servos + Gyro:
----------------------
3x JR Z9000S on 6V
1x Logitech 6100 Combo (Have my spartan on my nitro :-) )

Motor:
---------
Stock 760Kv Motor

BEC:
--------
8A Continous / 15A Burst . And for the regulator try one from the same vendor as my ESC (http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6233&Product_Name=TURNIGY_8-15A_UBEC_for_Lipoly)

ESC:
--------
1x TURNIGY Sentilon 100A HV 2-12S Speed Controller (Seems to be the same like the Hobbywing Pentium, see the compare images and products in url below) (I belive thats the same that also compass sells in their kits: http://www.compassmodel.com/accessories.php)

Ok the whole machine is slightly nose heavy at the moment but only slightly, maybe i have to move it a bit further under the shaft.

Overall weight with the heavy 8S Kongs 4KG this is heavy i know but i will say more when i did the maiden. Hopefully this works all well.

Btw i have modified the frame stiffeners a bit but this worked out great for me.

I will set the lady up tomorrow and hopefully do the first maiden.

Ohh and i forgot the plate in front of the heli is empty because i will mount there the SK-360 flybarless system after the machine had a successful maiden with its regular setup. Dont change to many components at same time :-)

[Max2342]

Was out to maiden it...bad luck i did a misstake and the swash locked and the paddle+blades blocked each other and the motor stripped of the maingear :-( bad luck, no replacement here. I will take it from my nitro i guess this should match as well i want to fly my bee!

Max be sure to turn your cyclic pitches down to around 6* then you can raise them slowly to suit your needs

[Max2342]

Yeah i will try it. Btw just in case that someone needs to know it. I pull the whole gearset out of the nitro, turned it upside down and re-mount it to the 600E. Its great to see that the parts are interchangeable. Also i modified the esc to do super slow start.

Ya just read you post about the Nitro gear.... Started to let you know it's the same setup with the one-way turned around but you already got it... It's a sweet heli. I gotta get mine back in the air robbed the gyro and rx out for another prodject. But I'll be ordering a new gyro and rx tonight for it....

[Max2342]

Well thank you for that hint on the one way bearing i did not turn it upside down just took it out of the nitro ...so i am happy that i did not try to fly it :-)

[Fade-Dude]

that is one sexy knight right there!

[Max2342]

Thank you for the fish. And here are some pics from the lady in the air. Today i will start to make it flybarless. If you are interested i can make a picture story about it. Cheers Max

[WillJames]

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Am I missing something? No pics?
