Fusion 50 full setup all my doubts

[lee_m]

The velocity 90 tail fin works awesome and it's longer so the tail blades don't hit

Re: Fusion 50 full setup all my doubts

I just put some spacers in the rear skids to jack it up a little

[ricardoliveira]

Now i need help on connecting the wires...

the 3g unit is connected to the 3gfl760 unit (i refer to the 3gfl760 where i will have my tune set), ok.

the 3gfl760 receives the servos, ail, elev, rudder, pitch, ok. From the 3gfl760 it comes out 5 connectors, one group with AIL, ELE, PIT and other group with SEN, RUD.

From the ESC Align RCE-BL 100 comes also one connector, i dont know what does it does because all i read is that this ESP has no bec included, so i cant connected it directly to the receiver - http://images.cloud.worthpoint.com/w...25f2c649c7.jpg

so i am also waiting for a extra battery to feed the electronics 6.6V

my receiver - Turnigy 9X 2.4GHz 8Ch Receiver (V2)

Please confirm ou correct me if i am wrong.

Receiver - connection
BAT i will connect to the new 6.6V bat for suppling the electronics.
CHANNEL 1 i will connect the AIL
CHANNEL 2 i will connect the ELE
CHANNEL 6 i will connect the PIT
CHANNEL 4 i will connect the RUD

and the rest ? The SEN and the ESC ? Where ?
and Channel 3 on the receiver ?

thank you for your pacience !

Tail fin, solved, made one from fiberglass... Bigger, stronger... The original bends too easy and is very short. The heli now stands with the skids to the ground. Cost... 5 minutes and a black spray smoke



now... The electronics... Missing the HXT plugs for the batteries... already on the way...



Now, I need help with wiring as I poste on above post... Thank you ! Batteries tracked, already arrived to Portugal, next week hopefully will arrive to my house.

Hi mate, sorry I've forgotten: which radio system do you use?

Good job on the tail fin!

[ricardoliveira]

I use a turnigy tx9, mode 2.

I was waiting for you, as i told not urgent, but as soon as i have the bats its a torture not knowing ao to connect the beast !

[Planehazza]

Sorry mate. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the tx9 nor the 3GX so I can't really help I'm afraid.

On Futaba ch5 is tail gain and ch7 is governor. The channels you listed earlier are the same as Futaba so it's likely these last two channels are the same as yours also. Your best bet is to get a hold of an online manual for both the 3GX and turning radio.

Sorry or not being of any use.

[ricardoliveira]

Thank you. With the manual already on my hand... And the fusion in front.Receiver - connectionBAT i will connect to the new 6.6V libat for suppling the electronics.CHANNEL 1 i will connect the AILCHANNEL 2 i will connect the ELECHANNEL 3 I will connect the PITCHANNEL 4 i will connect the RUDCHANNEL 5 I will connect the GAINCHANNEL 6 I will connect the THRCHANNEL 7 I will connect the GOVI still don't understand where must I connect the JR plug that comes from the esc... Is this supposed to be the THR ? Must I connect it to channel 6 on the receiver ? I think so... Please confirm.And the other doubt is the yellow wire marked as SEN that comes out from the 3gfl760unit... Where does he connects ? Is this the gain ?and the rest ? The SEN and the ESC ? Where ?and Channel 3 on the receiver ?

[Planehazza]

Yup the servo lead that comes from the ESC goes into the ch3 throttle.

On futaba it's like this:

1 - Ail
2 - Ele
3 - Thr / ESC
4 - Rud
5 - Gain
6 - Pit
7 - Aux (Gov)

Hope that helps.

[ricardoliveira]

IT´s ALIVE !!! ;o)

My Fusion finally took off... i did not had time... but now i have some...

I had to change the ESC to a HK - 100A K Force, the original dont know why went sparking... so now i have the ESC with UBEC.

I converted from flybarless align 3G to flybar with align 780 gyro.

Its running 600mm blades

Batteries i bought 2, one zippy compact 4500mah and a Zippy Flightmax 5000mah 25C, the last one fits by a mm on the original tray... i am going to do a new tray in 2mm fiberglass. to get space to use velcro on the bigger batterie to the tray.

This is my first flight with my 9x radio...
14.04.2013 - HD - Fusion 50 - 1º Vôo @ Avibur - YouTube

This is Vitor Heli "Master" tunning it up on my DX7 new radio
05.05.2013 - 720P - Vitor Heli vs Fusion 50 - afinação. - YouTube

And this is me, official maiden flight
05.05.2013 - 720P - Eu Vs Fusion 50 6S - 1º vôo rádio Spektrum - YouTube

I was very nervous, used to fly a 500, the fusion 50 is a big heli, so it needs more respect, i need to get used to, everything seems so small and the heli seems so BIG !!!

But i will get there.

[highlightshadow]

Congrats on the maiden.... its a good sized heli but mechanically setup nicely ..... i love flying mine ... you'll soon find its not so big once you go big-sky flying

Battery tray mod, 2mm fiber... 5000mah was very very tight.


On Saturday, before this mod on the tray... Look my rear thin mod already painted as frames same color
