What else do i need

[joe.lel]

Right,

Further on from my previous posts.

Am looking to get a Nitro 50size Heli in the new year (if not before LOL)

Am new to Nitro Helis, so am making a list of the stuff i will need to buy, but not really knowing what i need i have come up with the following...

Heli
Engine
Servos
Gyro
Receiver
Tail servo
Voltage regulator

Not going to get a governor to start with.

Have a 6v receiver pack i can put in.

Anything else i have missed, that is glaringly obvious??

CHeers

You'll be needing a pipe, also a set of blades (most kits don't include them).
Starter, fuel pump, glow stick...

If you've got a 6v RX pack already you don't need a regulator. Reg. is only need for use with lipo packs because they put out 7.4v which most servos can't handle.

Blades ok cool

Aswell as everything else mentioned, you'll likely need a starter shaft, preferably with a one way bearing.

Thanks, forgot about that one LOL.

Depending on the tail servo you might need a step down to reduce the 6v to 5v for the tail servo (you'll need one for a 9254 but not for an align 620).
A remote glow extension is a must so you can start he heli with the canopy on. May or may not be in the kit.

Err guys what about erm the fuel itself????

Alternatively, you could get a couple 3700mah 4.8 volt NiMh packs for about £10 each and not worry about any servos that cannot handle 6volts.

(you don't have to have more than one, but they are not expensive so with a couple you could fly with one and still have another charged and ready to go)

On the starting wand, if you don't need one with it's own one way bearing, (for example Raptors have their own one-way on the starting lug) I have a few extra ones I'll happily send you one for the cost of postage.

recommended:

A crankshaft locking tool. It's very handy when putting the fan to the motor, and even handier when taking it apart. Price < 10 pounds at most shops.

A silicon tube for the muffler (where the exhaust gases come out, not talking about the pressure line for the tank). If the heli ever hot-starts, squeeze it shut and the engine dies within a fraction of a second.

A 2nd hand 450-size 3s or 4s LiPo for the starter.
