VIDEO HAS BACKGROUND SWEARING , AN APOLOGY

yep , the heli was jolly well liked at the field it actually sounds better in real life too , i`ve now got full throw at the back , and i am now gonna remove the mechanics to fit the new normal flybarless head n shaft . i`ll put together a tail motor battery box and i may see if i can do away with the tail control snake and fit a carbon rod or metal rod, will need to reposition the tail servo , but thats no hardship , i can normally have a full blown conversation whilst thrashing my little goblin about , but it was noted i didn`t say a word when i flew this today anyway , enough from me , be back soon when shes up up n away , i not easily impressed , but am extremely pleased with the seaking

That possibly explains why your little Goblin quite often looks a bit out of shape!! What do you think to the new field Ady?

[ady]

mr jones , the new field is nice n compact , the baby gobler can get around it in a nano second i`m a bit bored with thrashing , so the scale stuff is rather enjoyable , hope to see ya up there soon

[ady]

have gutted the seaking ready for the new head , while I was at it I removed to plastic tail control snake cos it was extremely flexible , I have now installed a slimline wing servo in the rear fin , 7kg / 0.10 , metal geared . Full movement too and I've upped the tail speed a tad , let's hope she holds better now

hi ady do you have any pics of your tail conversion as im doing a seaking build and I too don't like the idea of the snaky wire

here ya go , nothing fancy , i`ve now repaired one of my goblin 500 cyclic servos and put in the back , two little wood bearers hold it in , once i`ve had a half dozen flights , i`ll tidy it up n paint the screws etc

[ady]

have fitted a conventional head too

[ady]

soooooooo much better

[dave j]

Thanks for the pics Ady :-)

[dave j]

tail pics

the pics are in attatchments Ady

[ady]

cheers for the pics dave , looking at were the tail shaft sticks out , yours appears flatter than mine ? i have to remove quite a bit of tail to enable me to use the rex tail output shaft . vario are bringing out a BO105 for the rex 700 mechanics , i`ll keep an eye out for what they put in the kit for the tail , it says a stainless TT system , so i`ll see how they do theirs . on mine , i`ve got the red dampers in and i`ll soon see how she goes on a lower headspeed , i may look for a lower kv motor too , i like the idea of being 12s , and use the same batteries as my vario 300 , keep in touch please

[dave j]

the tail is going to have to opened up to fit the tail box as it is very narrow it seems that century don't think about how mechanics are going to be fitted when they make the fuselages

[ady]

a lovely test flight today , with the tail servo at the back , she held superbly , 1600 on the head cos it was a tad windy n 7000 on the tail , she looked n sounded , brilliant no more mr floppy tail on this one
