Idle up, niosy as hell

I tried my best to balance them using a screw ect , they seemed ok, but after swapping them out twice, once using the tt spacers they was still suffering from the same problem where as tghe woodys worked fine everytime, i'm gonna get some blades from my local, find some with the same thickness of the woodies at the blade grip.
Bit of bad news now though, what should of been the crash of death actually only broke a few things, from about house high i went for about the 7th backflip of the session, some strange reason as i went to flip it i pushed up on the throttle wich made it shoot upside down into the grass at full speed, cvery silly newb mistake, all i needed todo was pull down on the throttle but my reflexes wasnt there unlike my tail reflex that is very good
damage
covering on 1 stock blade ripped
mainshaft
feathering shaft
paddle bar
Main gear stripped
Was very lucky todo such a tremendous crash and only brake a few things, i mean full bore upside down onto its head
from house high is impressive especially when i have seen tail boom strikes or minor clips on grass do more damage .
I'm so happy for myself, included in the win from eday was spars too so only ned a gear then i'll be back out there snaffling again.

I had the same problem with u using carbon blades on the mini titan...
They wouldnt track atall so in the end I went back to woodys. The heli can fly fall 3d with woddy blades, the only thing which is quite annoying is the blades slow down really easy when u pull high stain moves. so then the gyro gets confused and that can be quite off putting whilst tick tocking, lol.
Ive orderd some metal bits for the head.. hopefully tht'l fix it

I had a fly of funfeex's minit whihc has a sonix head. Compared to my 450 which is not all align, the collective was not as twitchy, and it is more stable. It flew really nice with captain crash GLX carbons.

For some reason the ESC/Motor is quite noisy at high rpm. I had it on a flat line 100% in idleup2, and head speed was a bit less than my 450 but not much. Nothing seemed to get too hot. Although the basic dimensions of the heli are the same as a trex, it just seems a bigger heli whan you fly it - but its only the nose of the heli and the canopy that are longer (same distance from main shaft to tail hub).
Like with all 450 helis other than trex, the problem is the upgrade parts are more costly than the trex.

hi i have had problems on the arms at the see-saw and i had every thing ca as recommended. has to be said after a few miner smacks very miner , no mater what blades fitted the tracking went out ,more so on carbon & fibreglass blades i think because their stiffer than the wood's after a time this turned into a vib on throttle up but as speed increased the vib went , well after a chat with lee was advised to check the stainless balls & make sure the screws are tight, did that found two only just loose , but it did make a small improvement ,but not a total fix , so had another really close look & found one of the balls on the end of the leaver / mixer arm to have a very small bit of movement but it took a good pull to see this happen & the screw was tight ,it took me a long time to see this but im sure that's the problem ,i have some new metal parts coming so ill post my finding , so iv put this post here , if you have had a crash cheek those balls lol jim

I had the total opposite with mine... when i had the stock woodies on it wouldnt track very good. When i had it tracking on the ground it would go out it flight. Stuck the Radix on tweaked the tracking and all was gone. Then again i have the full metal TT head. I have a nearly a full kit here minus a few bits and the full plastic head with a metal TT washout. Going to build this up in the next week or so and see if i have any of the problems you guys have been getting. Im gonna take the stock motor i have in the current MT and drop that into the all plastic one. Ill probably buy an upgraded motor anyways. Wonder if ill see any of the probs you guys have been getting. Butmuncher id change out your tail shaft also. There extremely soft and one of the first things that bend even when you think its fine.

I'll check that now( have full metal tail setup ), ta dude, i need easy way to get the grub screw out of the tail pitch part, will heating it up help to sort the red loctite out? when i first got the heli i had to drill some grub screws out as i threaded them, was murder

I hold a thin soldering iron tip against any screw with loctite.

Then gentle turning and ease it out.

Works for me.

Thanks Mark, that done the trick, item isnt bent

[marktigere1]

No Probs

im extremely surprised it isnt bent when you have a bent main shaft/feathering shaft etc
Anyways you now have peice of mind and have also found out in the process that it wont be the tail shaft giving you any grief should you come across it.

So finally took it all apart last night just to make sure.
From house high full bore landing on the head
Bent main shaft
1inch of covering ripped off stock woodies
Main gear stripped.
bent paddle bar

Was suprised to see the feathering shaft straight still, everything is all up and running again now, just done another backflip succesfully, i suppose now i should move the links on the mixing arms? to the ends ( 3d pionts )
