You need to adjust the white balance on your camera

Nice vid
May I say...I prefer your heli to your hat ! ......just messing

Cool flying in a confined space and good camera work too

[helisteve60]

Hay thanks dude for getting this up for me. Like i said im not too good with computers, but dude dont diss the hat its a classic

[toys2cars2toys]

No probs, linking to youtube is quite easy, there may be a better way, but here's how I do it

Open a window with your youtube video running
Highlight and Copy the address up to the end of the group about 11 or 12 characters in a row
I've shown it with "speech marks" as an example but you wouldn't use these normally
"www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNyq1tgZxXU"
Just paste into your thread

Nice to finally see this and by the way great job considering the tightness of your flying area. Is you main gear missing a few teeth it sounds as noisy as mine thats missing 4 teeth now.

so what exactly is a roadrunner SR?

[helisteve60]

Its a SR that looks like the cartoon roadrunner. the mods are CNC grips, F/B cage, tail moter housing, no f/b weights, no hub bushings i run a total of 8 bearings, 255mmc/f blades, supper padded gyro,home made skids, machine gunned tail boom. glued swash, flipped tail heatsink, i have a 1600mAh 25c lipo, running a dx6i -98,-85,+49. I think thats it but i am considering a belt convertion. Not sure yet.

[scoti333]

How are you getting a 49 pitch value?? Is that the benefit of the alum swash? I could get past 35 without binding, with 0 at midstick..

[Johnnny Blade]

8 bearing where?

Hell yea! That's alot of shims.. Seems like the o rings would shred, I didn't know you could fit that many!

[Johnnny Blade]

Hey what pitch gage is being used on the stock blades for the SR .coz the one I use on my E-flite 400 does'nt fit because of shallow cord of the SR blades.

[SYMAWD]

I think he means he replaced his dampeners with bearings. 3 bearing per grip=6 + 2 for "dampeners" =8

[helisteve60]

I am running a stock swash but i bent the stopper that fits in the the anti rotation guide. and i run no shims..... all bearings. got rid of the bushings totally and pressed in some extra blade grip bearings and presto, zero play in the head. you have to balence everything well. but its supper stable and the controls are more fluid..

[Johnnny Blade]

Watched another video of your on you tube Nice!

[Johnnny Blade]

I did that on a e-flite cp to try and get rid of TBE to no avail. Tighter head but still had bad TBE.
