Tripler, change your sig before flying it

Have it all repaired, and checked everything looking good with the blades from "Bladestriker" (nice bargin)
Ran it up in the garden and no bangs or funny noises,,
Looking forward to the weekend for a proper test fly;
One question those of you with an N5, which tail blades and lenght have you found to work best with the heli I'm going to try these, Sab red Devil's 92x32mm

Hi Tripler,

I've found with the original N5 that 92mm tail blades work the best. I've currently got Radix on my N5.

Hope this helps.

92mm Radix

Test flew the heli last weekend and it was'nt flying well / did'nt feel right, plus had to put in some right trim alieron,
something I've never had to do, so I knew something was'nt right,
Mid flight, the engine started to bog down and stopped with the heli doing about 30mph 10ft up!,, so did a hard auto

I don't know why the engine stopped, although have an idea, I was'nt using opti slv, (for reasons I won't go into) it was'nt tuned well and stopped,,, to rich I think, Anyway,,
I checked the damage, just a broken skid, so I thought,,
while checking the head found the seesaw shaft was flapping about, one of the retaining bolts loose, figured thats why I had to put right trim in, and why I found it hard to do a soft auto, tried to tighten it but the thread was knackered, Sh*t,
Ordered parts from ClimbOut and repaired it for the "third" time.

Took it out yesterday (using opti fuel) and after a bit of tuning it flew really well and was a pleasure to fly.
So its up and running now, shame the weathers going to be crap for the next few months, I want to fly it!
