http://www.gpdealera.com/cgi-bin/wga...pgm?I=FUTM4385
Its the Futaba heavy duty with 20awg wiring.
If not what was used on the electric model in the MA YouTube vids?
I just can't see taking the canopy off each flight and unplugging from the rx.
I've seen the wiring Carey Shurley did for the gasser writeup but that doesn't look like I'll be able to leave the canopy on.

But now I think I'm done for now until the 130 is released.

So far I have.
Microheli frames $56
Microheli head $20
Rakon swashplate $24
Hpo8 main $40
Xp12a main $25
Hpo3 tail $25
Xp3a tail$13 $5 to flash
Astro design tail motor mount $7 and tail fin $6
Kbdd blades $9 and landing gear $6
Sr120 tail boom $3
Tail blades $2
TDR canopy $36
Blade grips (mh) $18 back to stock for now
Misc parts total $20.
Total $315 :eek:
And the heli it self when I got it bnf $179
For a grand total of $494 :wow:
Oh I forgot batteries $65 in all
Total $559 (lol thats a fbl 450)

So I think its worth around $350, $375 to me because I wont get $559 for a wouldn't sale it for that much either. I wouldn't even sale it to good of heli.
Horizon made some money off this lil heli. Lol I think we funded over half the profits for the newer helis that are out or coming out by blade (eflite). In reality I think in the past year this lil heli really put hh on the map:thumbup:

But you know what its well worth it to :thumbup: how many times you can take a 450 and crash it pick it up and fly it again :thumbdown: but the mcpx you can :thumbup:

Be blessed

for BL mqx project then I give up that project. It is fun to fly the
mqx once for a while, but there is only so much you can do with MQX.

BTW, I don't recommend this motor. The stock wire is way too small.
I am have to go the rewind route.

What I find out is that, the base can be file down to 6mm and
fit the V1 or MSR tail mount. So that is what I did, I end up breaking
the wire so I have to do the rewind myself.

The stock wire is 34 or 35 gauge? 19 turn per pole, Y winding.
I put on 33 gauge 14 turns per pole, Y winding. Haven't try to spin it
up yet.

Here is the picture compare to the original motor.

'good' as in it won't empty my bank account but yet give reasonable results.

I'd prefer something I can mount on a head band or hat so that I can capture exactly what I am looking at and also don't have to worry about having someone to man the camera.

I'm currently using a "Contour GPS" but it's fixed field of view ends up being way to wide to be able to concentrate on the bird and not end up with a speck of a bird in a wide expanse of nothing. Also, it's no-light is better than its low-light in that in low-light it gets really grainy.

Anyone have any suggestions based on what you use or have seen used? ]]> Night Flying Heli-opolis http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417074 1.2Ghz video transmitter and Futaba401 interference http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417073&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 03:26:00 GMT Hi All,

I have just installed some Futaba 401 gyro's on my Photoship One 3X Gimbal, and when I hooked up my 1.2Ghz video downlink transmitter, the gyro's start moving.
I didn't have gyro's on my old gimbal, so haven't experienced this before.

Its definitely interference, as they start and stop in relation to where I am holding the TX downlink.

The Futabas and Avox servos are running into a Spektrum RX.

Anyone have any suggestions that doesn't involve me changing my 1.2Ghz frequency? ]]> Aerial Videography and Photography jmanphotos http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417073 Help with electronics for new Logo 600se http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417072&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 03:25:35 GMT Got a used logo 600se and first need to get a motor and esc (what kv would work thinking abouta scorpion HK-4035-630) i have to first off say my flight style is in no way expert. I fly my heli's just like one does an airplane flybys stuff like that so i want to get a motor and esc to do just that, nothing crazy no 3D. Hopefully this cuts the cost way down. I will be using 623mm blades and probably a 10S battery. The motor will need a 11t pinion from the previous owners suggestion.

Next is servos, knowing my style what would work? I want to stay with futaba servos, do i really need brushless like the site claims?

Getting a Vbar for sure but i do not know what the difference is between the normal and mini vbar.

Needless to say I'm excited, but writing this I am also deeply saddened. Seeing as it is summer and I'm in college (and hate warm weather) I will be as far away from the scorching eastern nc heat as possible and I'm going to miss the heck out of my NCSC crew.

Most of the summer I'm going to be in / around the Winston-Salem area, specifically God's country, aka, Davie County and also Foscoe, right up highway 105 from Boone. Long story short, I need to make some more heli friends I can fly with for the summer! I get to work my own hours so I'm pretty flexible as to when / where I can fly and wold love to meet up with some people around here.

I know there is a nice field out at Brownies house in Mocksville, but I think that is mostly plankers, regardless I know the property owner personally and he is a very close family friend, good enough he would probably run the plunkers off if we really wanted to fly ;)
I also live on a TON of land, we have about 100 aces worth of nothing but flat plowed fields, right on the Yadkin River, as well as a private airstrip 1/4 mile long, few hundred feet wide. Any weekend if anybody would like to come out and fly with me just shoot me a PM or text message and id be more than happy to have you out here.

Im even considering hosting a 'fun-fly' / cookout / night flying / beer drinking / bonfire / campout ordeal at some point this summer. I easily have the room and means to do it. It will not be sponsored / sanctioned, I guess its recommended you have AMA but if not, I really don't care, just don't pin it on me if anything happens. :thumb up: I know quite a few people that id love to have out, Tom and the boys, Paul, Ryan, Lincoln, David, the whole NCSC and Raleigh crew and anybody else that would like to come. We will just have to find a solid date that accommodates as many of us as possible. Good idea'r?

look forward to hearing from some people.

When I installed the stock main shaft, I found that tightening the bottom bolt caused the washer to come into contact with the main gear's one way bearing. This prevented the ability of the main gear to auto rotate because it was firmly fastened to the bottom washer and bolt. When I took off the bottom bolt, I could see that the bottom end of the main shaft was not flush with the bottom of the one way bearing, in fact it was recessed so that when I tightened the bottom bolt, the bottom washer came into tight contact preventing auto rotation.

I had to purchase the "old" 250 main shafts that have a collar so that I could adjust the position of the mainshaft so as not to cause the problem described above. I am certain that the upper and lower bearing blocks are installed correctly. The main shaft seems to be just a hair too short.

Last year I got one of those coaxial helis from a mall (I know, waste of time and cash) but it did allow me to know I really want to learn to fly a heli more. I already have 3 Rc trucks and have a charger capable of up to 6s lipos. The problem is my brain just can't get around the turning and pitching to control a hover with the coaxial. I have done a fair bit of flight sim on my computer using a throttle, collective, and foot pedals. Lots of crashes on ultra real mode initially but I got pretty good.

Our family does alot of camping and I would like something that would function in a camping area 20'x20' or even a big field. I have approximately 30'x30' in my back yard to practice in.

I am torn between 2 camps.

1) Get an intermediate model such as a Blade 120 or 130 fixed pitch heli that I can fly indoors or out in light wind and practice flying and getting used to normal types of heli controls. I have a 20x26 garage with a 9' ceiling to also practice in. or...

2) Go big or go home and get something like a blade 450 x level and slowly work my way up to more advanced types of stuff. This is realizing I would not be able to practice indoors and a large space would be required.

The other question is should I get a good transmitter and receiver then get a bind and fly heli or should I try to just get a ready to fly model realizing when I move up to a bigger heli that I will need a transmitter anyway....

Recently i purchased a metal upgrade package from Ebay. It comes with metal blade grips, metal swash, metal hub, metal main shaft and metal tailboom, all for roughly $35!! Incredible price, and looks to be a replica of the Rakon Heli upgrades.

Quality Review:

Overall 8.75/10 stars :thumbup:

The swash plate is very good quality, only I had to loctite the pitch links on the swash, as I noticed that they were coming loose. After maybe 20+ dings and crashes and over 100+ flights, the metal swashplate holds itself together quite well, but is starting to accumulate some of that vertical bearing wiggle that the stock plastic swash used to have. No big deal, you cant feel the slop in the air (at least when flying on brushed power. Will go BL very soon)

Blade grips look very nice and shiny. Bearings are very smooth.

Metal hub: very shiny, but ran into an issue (which is easily fixable). The design of the hub has the dampeners spaced too close together, meaning that when the spindle is fully tightened, there is lateral play in the grips= EXTREME vibration in flight. To fix this, I used very small washers between the dampeners and the golden washers with the step on them. I also sanded the dampeners down just a little as the washers made the spindle assembly very tight and the grips were not able to swivel freely when the feathering shaft was fully tightened (i sanded the dampeners till the assembly swiveled freely)

Metal main shaft: Nice and shiny, but after about 3 crashes it became slightly bent and gave extreme vibration. Every crash after that, vibes got worse, so I switched back to CF shaft and it's all goood.

Metal tail boom: didn't even bother. It is longer then the stock one though.

Performance is very good with these parts. I wouldn't say that they have improved much over the stock plastic parts (and it hasn't decreased), but really all metal upgrades do are add looks, and a bit of weight.

NOW MY QUESTION:Halfway into a high speed pass from a dive, my mCPX started making thwapping noises, tail spun, and it vibrated itself out of the air till I hit TH 5ft off the ground. Upon examination, I found that the blade grip link ball has unscrewed itself in the air and flew away! Im surprised I didn't notice that the balls were screwed in, or else I would have loctited them too. Now I am missing one, does any one know where I can buy extra balls such as these? The head, like I said, very closely resembles the Rakon Heli design.

Here's the link to a silver metal set you can buy:

I have this heli for sale and have put 7 flights on it total so far. It was built NEW from kit form and I added my electronics. This is the Elite series before Flybarless became the rage. The underslung flybar provided rolls and aerobatics quick and precise like FLB of today. Super Stable as well for any intermediate pilot. I never got around to flying her at all. I did fly her once more to test all electronics before listing. This is the same manufacturer as the Dragoness. I did a 4 minute 3D routine right on my street and she is ready for the new owner. This is in NEW condition period. No scratches anywhere. (Bottom of the skids is a given lol) Canopy is Gorgeous fliberglass. Carbon frames, carbon boom, etc. Please see photos. Here is what is included.

-RCer Vision 450PRO Full Carbon and Aluminum
-3 Hitec HS-65MG servos purchased NEW for this heli
-1 JR DS 290G Digital Tail Servo
-AR6100e Spektrum Receiver
-SJGD PG-800 with External Programming Module Gyro. ( Same as Spartan DS760 -Gyro performance) This is SOLID tail lock and piro rate PERIOD for any Flybar heli.
-Carbon Align Tail blades
-Carbon Align Flybar Paddles
-Hyperion Carbon Main blades
-Align 35X ESC
2 near new 2200mah 3s lipos

Offers are now being entertained. This kicks any Align 450 heli by far. Fly's with the feel of a 550 size. I am not sure what to ask for this. Offers are not being taken. Thanks!!

Been reading threads for about year and really haven't had the need to post yet. But that changed when I traded some RC cars for a Trex 500 and an "in pieces" Trex 450 :thumbup:

Trex 500 is complete and flyable, but it has the CJY Total G system in it and it doesn't appear to like my DX6i. Have an email into those folks as the symptoms match a couple of other users and needs to be sent in for the DMX upgrade.
Specs as follows:
500 ESP FBL
TT tail
RJX FBL head
Align Extreme 3d swash
New Fusino canopy
Castle ice 75 ESC
Castle vertigo 1706 motor
Curtis total G FBL unit
Curtis G-view 2 unit
3 Spectrum sat receivers
3 9650 Futaba digital servos (upgraded with metal gear sets $$)
Align high speed tail servo

Looks like the 450 is an older SE V1 model and will be fun putting back together. Got it 90% complete and the rest of the parts needed are on order.

So I'll be pinging for setups, tips and tricks as I've only flown a Blade 120sr, and not very well yet. :oops: ]]> New Member Introductions jkwrangler08 http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417009 Walkera RX for a Trex Clone - Possible or Not? http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417008&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 00:11:18 GMT I have a v200d03 and just got a trex clone - but it came with a super cheap "generic" TX so I figured I would simply use my existing DEVO 7 Transmitter for my Trex Clone - but is it possible?

Can I use this RX http://www.wowhobbies.com/devorx601receiver.aspx

I read somewhere that the 601 is compatible with devo 7

QUESTION: is this an "All-in-One" RX? with gyro built in? Flybarless?

QUESTION: Is the RX flybarless? My other walkera v200d03 is flybarless and uses "walkera Receiver RX2618V-D" - Should I get this rx instead or can I get the devo 601 (the 601 is so much cheaper)

QUESTION: how does this affect my trex clone that has a flybar? (I am guessing I dont use the existing gyro that came with the trex clone anymore, because these rx are "all-in-one" units, right?)

Is all so confusing LOL!

Same thing on both packs.. started with one cell loosing balance... then swelling.. then actual leaking (smelly!) after a flight. I wonder if those aluminum plates helped them to leak since it really doesn't allow room for swelling.

The 4000's are doing superb but I am only at 50 cycles.

I think next I'm going to try the HD Pulse lipos. I've heard good things.

I STILL have yet to go over 100 cycles on any pack in 4 year :) And I am talking a LOT fo packs with having own 9 different helis now and 3000+ flights. Maybe it's just not possible.

I take meticulous care too. One thing that might have contributed... I do balance charge at high rates... 3C is my typical charge and sometimes 4C. But I'd rather get new lipos once in a while then sit an extra 20 minutes waiting for packs. ]]> Slyster http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417006 <![CDATA[What's the difference?]]> http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=417005&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 00:04:19 GMT I'm only about a week and a half into flying the mcpx...my first cp heli.

No matter how much gain I added I still had a sloppy, lazy tail that would kick out on a light pitch increase. Last saturday while trying to get the vbar setup done the tail just started moving right and wouldnt respond to input. Well here is the cause...

Tail shaft was basically spinning inside the drive gear. Not sure why because I've never had the tail rotors touch anything. Not even grass. It's only had a few hovers and never "flown". With the soft start on the esc I can't imagine what would cause this. I replaced it with the aluminum gear. Also I found 3 of the 4 tail grip bearings to be very rough and notchy so I also replaced those as well. Now this thing is smoother than glass!
