Looks good , but please , if the BeastX has what looks like the supplied mount tape on it, change it to 3M/Scotch 114 tape.......

yep , the difference is amazing ,,, the heli will most likely roll over and do damage to itself with the supplied tape. ... have a look at the BeastX threads here .. https://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=239 ..

Coming along nice!
If I may suggest, double stick the voltmagic to the tail servo and run the tail servo and voltmagic wires inside the main frames to the front before installing the engine. Make sure to secure out of the way so that they do not touch the engine or anything moving like the main gear or clutch.
Keep up the good work! -=>Raja.

yeah ill be looking at hiding the wires for a clean look. and the voltmagic i was going to put on the servo after looking at your pics, its very visible from there. im just going to have to wait till my motor comes back so i can finish this heli. its all ready for the drop in once its done.
and the 3m tape is pretty hard to come by here in canada, so im still searching for a place that has it. jon |

On the tape
Worst case scenario I'll be more than happy to get you some and mail it to Canada, just let me know.
Its like a scotch/3M tape part number 411. -=>Raja.

raja: the gen output is to the reciever in the instructions say to plug into extra chanel. im using a jr921 reciever that has two batt ports, can i plug the gen into one of those or do i have to use a extra chanel.
thanks, jon |

Hi Jon!
Yes you can certainly plug it into the 2nd battery port. Basically anywhere where its on the same power bus or where the positive and negative lines are just connected together so that the generator will be in parallel with the servos and battery.
The only place where you can't plug it into is a data port or a 5v regulated spare port on the receiver for lower voltage servos. Enjoy! -=>Raja.

yeah no worries. heliproz, i went on a waiting list for a month, and when it was in it took 5 days to get to my door. they are really good, and have a large stock of raplacment parts available.
i would suggest getting one, i havent flown mine yet but the way they are built and the quality is second to none. very nice machine so far, and i imagine it will only get better when there is air between the skids and ground. |
