Hirobo Shuttle Challenge Build
I spent this weekend building a Shuttle Challenge.
O.S. 32 SX. Full ZXX Bearing set. All ball links, no z bends. I have finished assembly. I am going to do the initial swashplate setup and moving up the mast. Well, I am going to start with the servos and moving up. I have the servos and rods initially set. |

Please take flight video, sir!
I have a ZX or ZXX (can't remember which), another one that was given to me (not sure which model), and the original blue one/ARF, new in the box. Not sure if I will ever get one going, but they sure flew nicely when new!

Got 10 deg pitch. Setup just about done. Going to run a tank or two to get the engine broke or broke in.

Was the 401 around when the Shuttle was popular ?

Dominic,
When the Shuttle first came out (1984/85) the GY-401 was not out. The Shuttle had a very long product life span, but I doubt there was any overlap.

Is that how the skids go? Looks like the one on the back is backwards.

When I purchased the original 'blue' shuttle, there was no such thing as an electronic gyro and no such thing as heading hold. I had a mechanical rate gyro which sounded like a small turbo charger when the gyro motor would spin up.
Here's what they looked like inside: The fly wheels would spin and as the wind pushed the tail, the fly wheels would tilt causing a magnet to swing over a left or right hall effect sensor. |
