so its been a lonnnng time since i posted, but i have made some changes to my current 120sr

it actually flies a good bit smoother with this canopy and different boom positioning!

Looks good, I'm already a fan of the extreme canopy.

About the tail boom relocate-
How is mounted/how did you do it? Also, why did you decide to try it out? Pics?

Well, its all part of the landing gear kit....so all I did was press it into the plastic mount they provided. It fits exactly the same as it did in the original location, only considerably farther back, lower, and on an angle

I think it looks awesome!! Glad to hear that it handles better, as well!

Ok, I see didn't realize that.

Thanks

Got a used 120sr and DX6i to go with my MSR today.

DefOnslaught · 01-03-2013, 06:45 PM

All these 120's look amazing! They have been made extremely good!

wavex · 01-04-2013, 09:22 PM

I just got my 120SR as first Heli (not counting the coax) very recently, and scored on a brand new CP by complete luck today...

Love this forum!

Here's a couple pics of mine.

Wasn't sure if I should put this in the mod list thread or the pic thread, it's kinda both.

Mods:
Sanded black paint off of blades, flourecent orange accents - makes it easier for me to see it. Blades also feel smoother in the grips after getting buffed with fine sandpaper.

Fuel line on skids - I like the look and it does help it keep from sliding on landings and take offs.

Blades have been balanced. I suggest everyone do this.

Small amount of team associated black grease on main gears - they were getting loud, now they're quiet as new. Not sure what's in it, but I'm guessing it's a silicone grease with graphite or ceramic? Either way I know it's plastic safe because it goes in plastic transmissions, but it's for balls not gears. Plain silicone might be better, i don't know, but that's what the little black grit on the gear you see in the pic is. I have a lot of those little grease tubes leftover in my rc toolbox, might as well use it up.

Tied the motor to the frame with 3K carbon fiber tow (ebay) wrapped around it and soaked in thin CA.

And the best mod - bic ball point pen caps, shortened about 1cm, and pressed onto the sticks of the stock transmitter. I can pinch them and get very fine movements.

The only other things I'd like to do is put a bit of carbon fiber rod in the flybar to stiffen it, get rid of the connectors and hardwire the motor in, and I'm curious to try a longer tail boom but at the moment I'm having fun flying figure 8s and flying this thing around as is and I'm not in a rush to spend any money on it. I also let a friend fly it yesterday, it was his first time flying and he was hovering on his second liftoff, no problem. I told him to make tiny tiny inputs and let the heli hover itself and he did just fine.

Lookin' pretty colorful, Zipp! If you're actually able to get one of those splashy Fusuno 130X canopies to fit (seems like it should), your 120's gonna REALLY show up against all the snow back there in good ol' SW Pa.!

Good job!

zipperhead · 01-15-2013, 09:47 PM

The canopy will be here tomorrow or thursday so we will soon see.

02wrxRally · 01-16-2013, 04:22 PM

Yes...I was flying a little helicopter in my living room wearing a motorsports helmet with helmet cam

But I got some good shots haha
