Yip was a routing problem for all those that were intrested.
Shuffled a few things around... RX at the back of the heli away from metal frames/ESC away from motor and gyro mounted above boom as nowhere else to put it.

nice one lee . that chat room is good for one on one help so it was just glitching then??

[fatmantom]

yep was glitching!..... the chat room has saved me some phone bills!

just took some pics of the new lay out.....

[fatmantom]

pics for chat room discussion........ (is the gyro mount'd good enough? )

[jiberjaber]

I would have thought that cable tie would have transfered any vibrations straight to the gyro case?

Hi tom
I had a piece of wood stuck to the bottom inside the frame, and put thr gyro there projecting slightly out of the back of the frame. It might still be there on the frame I sent you (the wood not the 401!).

One possible problem with your gyro mount is it doesn't look quite square to the main shaft. It is important that it is or it will read a little bit of yaw when the heli rolls etc. Not so important for gently hovering but very important for aerobatics.

Glad you have it flying!

Are those Z bends on the servo arms? The perfection police will have you banned from this forum for posting pics of Z bends!
(when you use the ccpm setup you get lots of spare ball links to play with).

I take it you are running 35Mhz then....

[fatmantom]

after many complants.....i have de cable tied the heli and so

updated pics.....

[jiberjaber]

Have you had chance to try it yet?

[fatmantom]

not since the video of it in the dark no.

will fly it tommrow and film it!

cheers,
