Rave build complete

[moonmanflyer]

Rave build now finished, lovely kit to build, only issue was the rod lenths, load of rubbish, not sure where they got them measurments from.
Had a quick test in the back garden and all seems well, can't wait to get this heli down the park for a proper shake down

Hi Ray, no didn't ream them out, they seemed ok.
i think the long ones to the cyclics were out had to shorten them alot to get the swash level and make the other longer, i had to adjust the long links from the swash to the top elevator arm also to about 46mm i think and tweek the top blade links to get the +- travel on the blades

My build thread shows it here Ray.

Sorry to answer your question James.

Hope your liking dude. I love the one I have. Hopefully getting a Revo Plaitium pack for it this week which I think will really bring it on song.

Met up soon for sure

Hi Matt, only a quick test in the garden, flew over next doors garden to flip it a couple of times to check it out, but then put it away, to many trees and washing lines
I will have to pop down some time matt, hopefully the weather will start to get better soon.
Trying those new extreme packs from overlander, 35C, will report back after a couple of proper tests

I'm interested to know how you get on with those packs James. My Flightpowers feel rubbish but not sure if its the cold temeratures or the fact they are just crap!!

Btw, those new Align 250 packs are great!! Fit better under the canopy too.

Probably a mix of both Pete.

The cold certainly fubars the packs in the winter.

Yeah, but even the align packs feel miles better even in the same cold temps Tim. I always thought FP's to be good but the -6 Scorpion really shows it up.

Yeh i will let you know pete, mind you, as Tim says, the weather plays a part, i keep one in my pocket for ten mins before i fly
Adie says he was impressed by the align pack, those tornados don't have the initial outright power but are very consistant all the way through the pack
