help with my hummingbird

[beermonster]

hi i recently bought a century hummingbird and i am now 150% addicted to helis i can hover it already (had it since saturday) found it really easy and i am looking forwards to getting into cp helis once i have mastered what i have got
my main q's are about the following upgrades the mast locking collar and the swash ball insert can anyone tell me how to fit these items and if there is a site that gives instructions to do so i the only regret i have for buying a artf heli as i dont know how to take it bits as i would if ihad built it
hope some one out there can help
8O this looks like me concentrating on not hitting myself with the main rotors again lol (smeg that stings)

thanks

yeah i found those sites very help full i got them both fitted and wow what a difference
many thanks
would you say a heading hold is a usfull goodie to get even ona mmicro heli

I would say it is. I only have a CSM 180 on my CP Hornet and as the battery discharges over the flight I find that I have to add in a little more rudder, in hover, to compensate for the change in headspeed. If I had a HH gyro then the gyro would do this for me.

The lightened HLG200 looks tempting.

Phil,

I too have a hornet CP, which as mentioned in the other "what do you fly" thread is bone stock and hasnt flown for some time.

I have been doing a bit of digging around the web on various sites and the most common gyro upgrades for the hornet seem to be either the Futaba GY240 with or without its case or the GY401 again with or without its case and also in the case of the 401 depending on the rx for the extra gain channel.

Cheers,

Pete.
