Velocity did a chicken dance

[daren]

Easiest way to find out is to give csm a call, I'd say it was out as the heli mag must be atleast 3 months behind whatevers new

if you are using the normal receiver type plugs on your battery then these will stop them coming apart....

Wouldn't fly without them.

Just been on the phone to Colin at CSM, jolly nice bloke he was. The 'throttleSafe' is indeed very new and shops should be stocking them shortly.

A short explaination of how it works is that it is powered by a small seperate battery and apon an rx battery failure/power loss will return throttle to minimum or to where you set it. it will warn of low voltage by blipping the throttle and has an out of range facility where it will cut the throttle too. Sounds brilliant and will definately be getting one.

What if that became disconnected as well? Is there a back up backup system?

[sacko]

Nice one Daren/Andy, ill be getting one of those

[3DBish]

we use those clips from fastlads on the heli battery leads and on the servo connectors for the big planes, they work great! cheapest way of preventing a disaster for sure.

And i thought my 600 head looked bad last weekend but fack me that is bad. im sure you wanted to hear that though :P

[sacko]

Anyone use this?

Anyone use this?

That's still not going to help if the battery goes flat or unplugs, It would be a good help if you are using an fm receiver that doesn't have failsafe.

Its a shame I did not have this little gadget CSM Throttle Safe
Now available from Fastlad

Looks top banana, shame its £50 though!

..but if it saves you from one crash, it will have paid for itself.

[crash-alot]

Its been two months since the crash and finally I got all the parts to finish the rebuilt on my Velocity.

The heli is stripped down and ready for new parts to be fitted. Shouldn't take me long to get it back in the air now!

[Jamin_00]

Looks like it cost a few quid but at least you can now get it ready for flight again

[debrooker]

had the +ve lead of my Align regulator (the cable that goes to the battery) separate itself from its motherboard, so no power to the RX. Was at 30 feet or so at the time and down it went.

I'm now a big fan of hot glue.

Bad luck fella.

[sacko]

Nice one Jaco, just in time for the windy weather too!

I changed the battery connector on the align regulator after I had one pull off when I went to unplug the battery, I converted it to 2mm gold bullet connectors never had a problem after than and I have now converted all my fleet.
