Lets do this!

[callum]

I am tonight! Determined to get this headsetup correct! not matter how long it takes me!

I am armed with:

A Laptop
Some Shitty Array of tools
A table
A Hanging Down Light
and some Suger boostin shizzle!
and what ever!

Step one - pour the Sprite on the laptop, then sit back and stuff your chops with the chocolate while you watch Microsoft's finest decay in front of your eyes.

Then have a look at the heli when you've come back down to Earth.

Thats Very Ironic! i actually did that once

Only it was a mac with OSX and not a laptop with Windows 7

haha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right Then!

Adjusted the Swash Linkages so that when the swash is at the lowest position the swasplate does not touch the main frame and bind like before (60% Swasmix)

Also, Leveled the swashplate using two Spirit Levels, One on the frame of the helicopter to make sure that the helicopter is level so that it will not effect the leveling process of the swash,

Elevator:



Ailerone:

Step two - get rid of that wall paper and sort out the lighting - it's like trying to inspect an atom bomb in a deep cave in there!

Linkages Sorted

Paddles Leveled

Swash Interaction Cut out (107% On Aile and 107% on Elevator)

Next:

Blade Pitch Range

Also, does having 107% on each ailrone and elevator mean a good setup?

[callum]

Okay!

After 5 Hours or so!

The Headsetup is complete!

--

Swashplate Leveled
Swashplate Height Adjusted
Swash to Flybar Hub Linkages Adjusted
Flybar Paddles Leveled
Swash Interaction Cut out using 107% Each on Aile and Elevator
Setup Blade Pitch 0-+ at Center on each Blade
Sorted out Canopy

--

45% on Pitch Gives me 10-+ On Each Blade!

Although im still not 100% on the pitch.. i think one of the blades is out, but flight testing should verify that

Tommrow (Weather Depending) Flight Test!

and whats more pleasing is that i didnt get stressed one bit!

and if it still doesnt fly right.. then im going to GO WILD!

/Bed!

Dont blame ya, for £499 its a steal

[callum]

Well, did a test flight today!

All went well-ish

With a leveled swashplate the heli still wanted to bank to the right ;( didnt expect it as bad as it would be, but.. i think its because two factors taking place.. CoG and the forces acting upon the helicopter (Translating Tendencys etc)

Elevator however seemed okay! did a couple of flips and it swayed a bit etc so im pretty sure its CoG, Blade pitch is slightly out by one turn but ile get that sorted later.

So i spent most of the two tanks i stuck in doing slow piro circuits and big tail slides with an awesome fart at the end :P
