Finless · 07-11-2008, 10:05 PM

OK my next project is this heli!
Special thanks to Compass and KBDD for asking me to do this build and I am looking forward to it!. So far it looks like a great heli.

So lets get started!

First up!
Video Link ->What's in the box!! (20 Megs)

Manual and Build Overview
Video Link ->Build Overview (25 Megs)

On with the build! Sorry for the delay!

Video Link ->CCPM Servo Installation (45 Megs)

Video Link ->Servo Wheels and Setup with Radio (58 Megs)

Video Link ->Servo Linkage Setup (62 Megs)

Video Link ->Main Gear and Main Shaft install (26 Megs)

Video Link ->Head and Grip Assembly (52 Megs)

Video Link ->Seesaw and Flybar Assemebly (50 Megs)

Video Link ->Swashplate and Washout Assembly (36 Megs)

Video Link ->Head Linkage Setup (56 Megs)

Sorry for the delay folks... IRCHA was well worth it for me!

Anyway getting started back up.

Video Link ->Electronics placement (42 Megs)

Video Link ->Compass ESC setup (40 Megs)

Video Link ->Tail Rotor Assembly (34 megs)

Video Link ->Tail Belt and Boom Install (42 Megs)

Video Link ->Tails Servo and Gyro Setup (40 Megs)

Final video until flying

Video Link ->Boom Supports and Landing Gear (26 Megs)

Thats it on the builds folks! I do have to say this was the EASIEST Heli I have ever built!

Maiden Flight Report!

OK this REALLY was only my second flight with this heli.... Compass asked me to build this with basic components and I expected to be YAWN... Ho hum.....
Well NO BS.. I was seriously surprised how well this flew on low end analog servos. Makes me think how much we all chase the TOP stuff a little

. YES I could feel they were not digitals based on centering after an input BUT seriously I walked away surprised. With some good digitals this heli is going to be VERY precise and I like to fly precise! But for folks starting out... well it does work using cheaper servos in a way I never believed could be true.. Seriously folks I was surprised!

Here is the video:

Bob,

Is the fin superfluous? Hmmm. With a handle of Finless is guess it is.

Very punny.

Show us The Flybarless Head

Bob, Are you going to get the heli flying with the Flybar setup then Change her over or are you going flybarless right away? Those Servos Might have a Hard time keeping Up to the SK360?

Ade_Law · 07-12-2008, 02:25 PM

nice vids dood.. as useual.

bob i know you wanted to use lower end gear but seriously does anybody use anything less than cheap digis like futaba 3152?

non-digis are ok on mechancial mix but ime CCPM needs something a little better.

sorry, you just cant win can you :-)

Bob is using what was sent to him by Compass. Thank you though Ade for pointing that out. I also like you would be using a couple of steps up and only have to buy once.

hi

It's nice to see some straightforward stuff and servos that are not high end.
Sometimes simple is the best and am looking forward to the build videos

Thanks

Frank

Ade_Law · 07-12-2008, 06:38 PM

thanks will, its not like 3152 are much more money either... perform 10x better tho.

wonder if it was compass or KBDD?
