Magneto · 07-11-2012, 03:41 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys!I have logged 120 flights and made some changes on the way I swapped out the Pyro for an Xera 4530 I like the extra torque it makes and I installed the hard orings in the head and added the smaller pulley for the tail and Matt Black blades im using the 18t pinion and headspeeds are 1750,1850, 1950 im used to higher headspeeds on other 700s I have owned but the Diabolo dosent need as much for the same manuvers,lately I have been flying 1800 for 6-7 minutes of 3D and its a lot of fun.I have built a few helis this year seaching for the ultimate and now I have it I love the Diabolo! I gave it a good look over last nite to see if it required any maintence the belt looks brand new and all the fastners are tight the dampers look great so I just greased the thrust bearings while I had it apart, Gerd did a fantastic job on this heli!

Thats really cool!!!!
I have installed the red pully while it is on the bench waiting for parts. I felt the tail a bit soft , so thought this would sharpen it up. Why did you put the red pully on?
Did you find it improved things?

Magneto · 08-10-2012, 05:28 PM

The red pulley is much better at the head speeds im running with 105s than the stock pulley with 110s. I blew the tail out a few times with the stock pulley with 14.5 deg pitch so its probably my collective management, It holds great now and has a sharper feel for sure.

Nice, clean build.

We who have built one, can really appreciate the awesome quality of this kit.

I consider the Diabolo a step up from whatever you've built before...
