Big Lama DX6i conversion/cam mount issue all done

[firedude52]

Well after a couple weeks of this and that my Big Lama has been successfully converted to the DX6i with an Orange Rx. Took a lot of unique trimming and other little items and of course getting used to the DX6i which is much different than the stock Tx. The E500 has been done too, but still needs fine tuning. That's next. it's so nice to have all the heli's on 1 Tx!

The next issue was even more challenging after the tear down and DX6i/Rx part was getting the cam mount for the 808 HD #11 cam squared away. What a PITA! Got it sorted out though and it's as good as it'll get. In the process the last change I made was moving the cam back to the point of CG. It had been quite a ways forward which caused a lot of vibes and oscillations in video. In the process of doing so I got rid of that horrible harmonic humming noise in the videos. Now all you hear are the motors/blades. That harmonic humming was irritating as all heck. The heli really flies well now and so smooth. It's nice having the digital trim over the stock trim as well as having control over the DR/Expo. Really never gave it much thought in a coaxial, but it does make a heck of a difference! Kudos to Spooner for his help on the whole project! Of course Tombo242 made it all possible to begin with.

For more info on the project and other stuff feel free to visit/join in at our Big Lama Facebook page at Big Lama Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/ESkyBigLamaPage Not just Big Lama stuff so everyone is welcome and can post their pics and videos etc. Just a little heli community, not a forum. Now time to move on back to the beach, harbor and other locations for in-flight videos!

Here's a video of the last "test flight" below. After a few last minute tweaks at home field off to the park I went. The video is in HD and best viewed in YouTube.
