NSP build question

[easypickingsere]

Just a quicky (to start with). Have built up the main frame and turned the page to find there are extra bits to go on, mixture servo mount switch mount etc. Having loctited everthing as I gone on, do I need these extras on the front of the frame?

Cheers

In short, yes you do. The same goes for the stiffeners on the back.

I didn't use the mixture servo mount but I did modify it to make two identical doublers for the forward frames. Click here for details.

i put them on mine just to strengthen the frame around the skids at the front there is also to carbon parts for the rear end aswell.

Cheers lads! A note in the manual would of been nice instead of turning the page to find I goto undo work already loctited. Having read on your thread Mart about someones frames going Ill definately fit all strengtheners.

It would have been good for a little note eh? Mind you, somewhere in the manual it probably states we should have read the full manual prior to commencing the build.

[easypickingsere]

Wahoo!!! Servos are in now only the tail left to do pretty much, can almost smell the nitro for my first time

Sorry a little excited here.

Have a look on Finless build videos on Helifreak.com - Fun, Learning, Friendship and Mutual Respect

Just register for free and you can download any video.

These videos helped me a LOT in building my T-Rex 450, 700 and Guai 550.

Ciao,

Cheers for the thought tho

Hey there,

I too am part way through my 600 LE build. Exciting eh?!?! Any pics of your bird yet? By that I mean your heli but if you want to share other pics......

Just make sure you connect the pressure pipe from the top of the tank to the muffler. When I built my 700 I couldn't see that anywhere in the manual and my muffler didn't come with a manual. I ended up doing my maiden flight without this pipe which resulted in me killing the piston and sleeve on my first nitro engine. Boooo!

Other than that just enjoy and make sure everything is loctited. Check that all screws are still good after every flight, my 700 still manages to shake some loose even after loctiting.

Here is a great thread about how to treat your nitro engine, really helped me.

Enjoy

Pardon my ignorance but what is scotch tape?

Also is it absolutely necessary for the boom clamp?

Cheers

Scotch tape... Its just a trade name. Any tape will do. I think i used some black fabric tape... its all that i had at the time.

Its a good idea to put a band around the boom where the clamp goes, it will stop it from rotating. measure it up to the clamp so its i tidy fit without loads hanging outside of the clamp when mounted. better to do it during the build than to find it has moved in flight and then needing to take it apart.

[easypickingsere]

Thanks alot for that Aidi! was gonna push ahead with some black insulation tape but wasnt sure. Being as is my first "nice" heli wanted to make sure it was right.

Cheers
