Today at the field.

[Paulice]

After lunch today, off to the flying field, to meet up with my mates there, took the Srimok and the 600

well first off with the Srimok, V-bar newly setup with a new RX R6108 SB (Serial bus, one cable from RX to V-bar.) and the governor on the v-bar, Beta testing
motor started, tick-over adjusted and up into hover, Switched to Governor mode and a very steady 1700 rpm in Idle 1, Over to Idle 2 1950 rpm, spot on, The standard settings on the V-bar governor work very well.


So happy with that went for the 600.
Tank full, Tx on RX on, Starter motor in and it spins nice and fast but not turning the motor! Now i know the starter is fine as i used it on the Srimok, the only thing changed is the clutch.

Going back a week!

Like most people i've had the problem with the 600 LE's clutch.
it works but comes in very late, close to the point where the governor comes in it starts to bite, then you have to be care full to let it pick up speed before the gov takes over.

Well last week i ordered from Fastlads a new upgrade clutch from Lynx, and yesterday evening fitted it into the heli. about an hours job, motor out and back in.....

So back to today.
Motor out again clutch out and then i see the problem! the Sprag clutch (One-way bearing) for the starter is fitted by Lynx the wrong way round


you can see the new sliver and original align black!
In this photo you can see the arrow indicating direction of rotation.

Well they are Locktite'd in on a interference fit, so hard to get out without damaging them.
Will have to make a tool tomorrow at work to press out the bearing and re-fit the right way round.

I don't know if this is a one off from Lynx or a whole batch from them, But i'll be contacting Fastlads so they can check there stock.
And to Fastlads for there fast service again! less than a week to me!.

Paulice any more information about the VBar Gov? My VBar 5 is ordered and I would love to not have to fit a governor to my Srimok if I don't have to

Paul, I've had one of those Lynx Clutchs before.. My one way was fitted correctly, so I think it way be a dodgey batch. Also I must say it reads and looks the danglies.. it was better than the Standard LE one but not as good as the Quk ones though!

Edit: Quk is even more progressive than the Lynx and also the one of the leaves gave up after 2 Gallons!

The V-bar gov is still in testing, I like the way it works! And reports from other testers are very promising that i can say, Personally I don't see or feel any difference from the v-bar governor to the Curtis Youngblood AGT V3, It uses the same sensor as well, bonus for me no changing sensors, It also works well with the Spectrum Backplate sensor, For what i've heard there will be one more beta release in a couple of weeks, when all the data is back to Ulrich, then soon after that the main public release FOC.

Well lets see how it is now, I turned the oneway over this morning and went out flying this afternoon, Like you say better than the LE, but still not like the Kasama's, so if this one goes west i'll opt for the Quick UK one next.
