Alees Rush 750 build thread.

Its flown, wahoooooo.

Flies very nice. Maiden was boring as it went well.

Apart from having to up the rotor gain on the Vbar and the tail gain everything was sweet. I did not push too hard though as my motor shaft does not reach the support so just to make sure I did not strip the main gear etc I just took it easy. But man does it fly nice. I flew for 5:30 with 5000 Optipower packs and it feels light on the sticks but not floaty if that makes sense.
Only managed 3 flights before the rain came in but Im a happy chappy

Bring on the next outing

Nice Ben, i decided to install my vbar on the shelf where your sensor is mounted, i tend to crash nose in a lot lately, so decided to try to protect the vbar as much as possible, will post a pic in a bit

[Ross Northcott]

Heres mine, plus as i was taking the photo anyway, thoght i would chuck in the fleet pic lol.

lol, does look massive sitting up there. Tell you what Ross, that will really help with the CoG. I found with Optipower 6s 5000's I was quite forward with them. 4300's where right at the front and the 5300 Ultra's were about the middle of the cut out. Also, having the main power leads coming down like that you wont have to take the canopy of at all to swap packs.

A tip, on the battery trays dont use too much velcro otherwise like the Xxtreme they will be a pig to get out. I learnt that from when I had mine so I just put a thin strip on there and its loads better plus the fact the batts are not as far in as the Xxtreme because of the separate trays with the spacers, it pushes them out which helps.

Are your ball links tight on the balls? If so get a spare ball, score it with a sharp knife and pop the links on this. A few twists and they are sweet. Did mine this morning after reading the teams guys done theres this way. Not with a reamer as the way the links are shaped the reamer apparently does nowt.

I reemed all my links ben, apart from the head one, i used the botos tool, works really well, still a little tight but should loosen with a few flights, good advise regarding the packs and velcro.

Yea cool, I left mine a little tight and they seem great now after them 3 flights. I forgot to do the tail one. Did it after the maiden as the tail seemed to respond with a notchyness but luckily I took it with me and done them at the field so schweeet

Ive just asked on HF for some pics on how they got there Vbars mounted. I think although it appears to be very exposed its actually a decent spot. Its solid around it so I think will fare well in a crash, maybe not as goo as where you got it but it will be okay

[Jamin_00]

Had a tidy up at the front there.

Ross, you can mount the Vbar under the gyro tray or under the ESC part so you can then have the sensor up front

looks awesome! are you still happy with it?

Great machine, like it so much that I bought another, no problems and flies very accurate.

[lee_m]

Cheers Gashead im thinking about getting one! i won the 50% off at midland heli woohoo so its top of the list at the moment

[Jamin_00]

I see, well done Lee.

TBH I have not flown mine for a while as I have been testing stuff on Spunky so every time I been flying it has been that but I have to say I miss flying it as it looks so god damn sexy for a heli.

Whats good as well is I have not heard about any parts needing upgrading or changing or anything. I will say I have not been following the AleeS forum much lately but I would have heard something from Ade if there were any issues.

Im surprised its not as popular here in the UK as in the States it is huge, a real success and its because of its looks, the way it flies is awesome and the quality is top notch too.

You will not regret buying one I would have thought

[7.62x51]

I agree

I'm really satisfied by my Rush, it's smooth, predictable, fast.
Strong design and pretty look.

It's a right choice

[lee_m]

I'm goin to ask a dumb question! But been as its built by someone that design the fusion 50! Does it fly like a bigger version for it?
i only ask as I have a fusion and don't what to have two helis that are almost the same!
but saying that I'm sure the size and cost of the rush750 will frighter the sh1t out of me!!
