bell 47

[goldslinger]

good bit of sideways thinking that would get me the screen but the hard part would be making the cradle
I suppose I could use coat hanger wire
hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thinks...........

[electricsceadu]

the other option is to get some 3d printed
i beleave kenny at the midland helicopter club can 3d print
and theres nick at red lodge helicopters that can get it done

[goldslinger]

I have dropped red lodge a line asking them what they can do and how much
as I am after 2 sets of different types of stretchers

I have also sent Kenny a e mail

[goldslinger]

Mark could you post some pictres of the tail truss at the mechanics end so it can be seen how Jim
extended the 40 truss to make it into the 60 size model

hi did mark put up the pictures of the extended tail boom as I cant find them
also I to bought a bubble and cab from LHC and it is way bigger than the original so I will have to make mine into a 60 scale

[electricsceadu]

i haven't seen them so i'd guess no

Many thanks,

Regards,

Hi any one know where the nav and night lights go on a bell 47 I know the port/starboard lights can go on either the skids or either side of the cab there is a red flasher half way down the tail boom and a white constant light goes under the pilots feet but where do the rest of the lights go

[electricsceadu]

you have the beacon on the tail truss
and rear white lights above the fin on the truss (above the h (xhb) on the top truss hb-xhb see the picture)

some but not all have the white light under the cabin
and the nav lights at the ends of the front skid tubes or on the cabin

[goldslinger]

thanks for the info much appreciated

Hi all just a thank you for all your help with my Morley Bell47
here are a few pics of it so far

all I have to do now is set up the servos so they operate in the right direction and the correct amount
but that will have to wait until I go down to the club house for hands on tuition
as I've watched hours of you tube videos and I still cant get them right lol

[Mike Sanders]

Looks excellent.

[goldslinger]

Hi all
can some one point me in the right direction to a video of how to set up the fly bar and pitch set (main blades )up on my Morley bell 47g
all the vids that I can find all show the fly bar below the main blades where on the bell the fly bar is above the main blades and there isn't a place to screw a fly bar lock into
look forward to your reply's


Ps did any body else spot that the blades were on backwards

[sparts]

Hey Goldslinger,
Your blades are on backwards.

lol

[electricsceadu]

the position of the flybar makes no difference
if you are using a digital pitch gauge then get a spirit level and set the flybar level (check that the mechanics are level on the bench)
and hold the bar level and check the pitch as per a normal flybar method

that's the problem I've never done this before and the last thing I want to do is muck everything up and pile the bell into the deck
I have the build manual for the bell but being dyslexic I find it hard to follow the written instructions and at my local club there is only one guy who has helicopters and his heli's are modern fly bar less
so im a bit stuck hens the need of a good video
thanks any way
