X50 tt fbl artf

Almost ready to go, just tightness test on everything

Don't know why it has just seemed forever to finish this heli

Can't wait to have a raptor 50 again, but a bit more of an agile machine, hopefully won't get any tail vibes with the extra supports put in the boom

Is it normal to have the end points so low on the TX gear channel to get the right gain in the vbar software, just seems wrong lol

Same here mate. ch5 is like 18% to get 80% in the Vbar software. I too was a little concerned at first, but it flies great

i'd get a quick uk header tank bung and replace the main tanks bung with it
mine always leaked with the tt bung in the main tank

Thanks for that, noticed how the bung in the header moved slightly when fitting the fuel tube to the outside nipple. I'm sure I'll have some spares hanging round to sort it.

Maiden tomorrow so can't wait : )

These are the best headers I have found they have a ali nozzle and a nut too seal them up good and proper...* RC Nitro Helicopter - Auxiliary Header Tank & Alloy Mount - Raptor, Align etc* | eBay

I think I will bypass the header for the maiden just in case!

Maiden didn't go to well, went to turn her over to get fuel through and fan hub wound up the crankshaft lol, forget to tighten nut after test fitting the clutch, doh

Another day!

That happens on the G4 as well gotta do the fan up tight with a bit of locktite...

[Tommy]

Will keep an eye on it but I simply forgot to wind it down.
Now been wound down with 638 and if it unwinds again it will have to have a locking nut on top

[frantic]

had to laugh when I read about the fuel leak, never had a problem with mine.

get to the field today, header tank leaking upon refilling, bugger!

must have dried out as I have not flown for about 2 months, bit of silicon grease, good to go
