Converting a furion 450 to FBL

[glenflyer]

Is there anybody thinking of converting their furion 450 to FBL .I did mine in no time and didn't have to buy any parts just remove fly bar and and parts around it ,remove 1mixing arm and where the bolt comes out replace with a longer 1 that when it tightens it will go thro and hold the swatch driver in place .remove the mixing arm from the 2blade grips , and use 1 of the balls with the spacer and bolt to the blade grip witch gives a straight line to swash you will have to adjust them a little bit .I also moved my servo balls in 1 hole,when you set 0 deg at mid stick you can set your swash driver level and that's it really,with the spartan vortex in place it rocks I am very happy with it now .I will upload photos if I can Richard[ATTACH]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1379019796.360398.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1379019806.458635.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1379019815.272925.jpg65701[/ATTACH]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1379019764.882034.jpg

So have you setup the Vortex and it's in spec for the cyclic throws?

Yes when I set it up it was near perfect all the pitch was on the range wanted by the vortex there was no silly way out settings .I haven't done the trim flight yet it's always been windy the only thing I would change is its got a bit for and aft nod but it flys so much better rolls on a dime and that's without fine tuning yet it can only get better .you must of edited your post did you ?

Yeah, upon reflection I decided my original post rambled a bit

I have yet to do a trim flight myself but it pretty much works without any fiddling. I have noticed a very slight tendency to nod in the elevator axis, it's like the precurser of a nod. I will try reducing the swash gains just a bit before my next flights (mine is on a 600 size electric and I'm using the '3D' setting, V2 firmware).
