It Ignites to life!

[callum]

Yup

Got my new glow plug and header tank today.. and it ignited to life

So took it out back in my mates garden (biiiiig garden) for a test start and little hover..

Just before take off, the heli would piro round in which ever direction i commanded, strange? i scratch my head... the Servo Direction, the Gyro sense direction is all correct etc? so i have a play around, and change the gyro sense to Reverse, took off and the direction was correct, but the servo direction was incorrect , so hoverd for a bit longer, landed and then changed the servo direction to reverse, so both are reversed, took off and its sorted...

very strange and confused.. but it works well now

then the pitch fork unscrwed, my error, didnt do it up tight enough (hey, its my first time building) then inserting the screw into the fork then into the tail blade, the blade grip then decided to split :@ another quality issue lucky i have 2 spare tail blade grips.. so got that sorted etc...


then just hoverd out a tank... and all seems well, engine tuning will need to be sorted again, as i was only hovering at around 30/40% throttle

Blades seem great!, really do like the quality and finnish of them

they seem in track.. but didnt hover high enough to check


Gonna wait for the batteries to charge then its off to the field!

To get the directions of the tail correct here's a simple tip:-
The front tail blade going upwards and the back one down is the correct rotation.

When the tail blade hangs straight down, it steers like the rudder on a boat for left and right.
