Right..... I was faced with the choice of gear or belt when I was ready to buy a 450. After careful consideration, I decided to go with belt drive...
My heli is belt drive tail....... I was talking about converting the main gear and motor pinion to belt drive. I haven't seen it done on any T-Rex...
I doubt it. I may eventually get a mini Protos or something similar.... when I'm ready.
Seems I may have most of the tail problem sorted out, between VStabi settings and recent "vibration reduction procedures". It seems to be holding...
It turns out that the screw points between the gear and hub were slightly off somehow..... possibly stretched or deformed during a recent crash. I...
I'll be going over the gear and hub tonight. I noticed the gear is off center at the hub, so there has to be something wrong where the gear is...
I think part of it is pinion size. 11T pinion is noisy, but when I tried the 13T pinion, it ran fairly quiet. It probably has to do with contact...
New camera on hold..... I need to stock up on replacement parts in case @Crash Heligod should decide to pay me another visit. I ordered some Align...
I finally decided to change the notchy mainshaft bearings. I noticed slight amount of slop in them. Several crashes with bent mainshaft..... it...
Möbius is around $75 whereas the one I want is about $20 shipping included, is smaller, lighter, and has mounting holes in the body already (if I...
I found one for $17.87 on EBay. I've seen this one in person, I know someone who has one. The resolution is clear and steady.[ATTACH] ....It's...
It's old and cheap. I robbed it out of one of these: [ATTACH]
I think I'll just get a better camera with higher resolution and frame-rate, internal battery and microSD card. ...... $10
Test #2 reveals a need for dropping the tail gain a bit to reduce the slight wag, and some vibration management is in order. Otherwise, a somewhat...
Meanwhile..... I modified a small wi-fi camera from a small coaxial heli for use with the 450. It's small, lightweight, and runs on 3.3v so I can...
I'm a perfect example of that. I started with small and cheap RTF Blade helis. I spent $120 for a 120SR and DX4e, then $99 for the Nano CPx BNF....
I've heard that too. Might try that if I don't get it nailed down.
I checked out the tail assy last night. Nothing wrong there, but I did move the ball a notch farther out on the servo horn to get less servo throw...
It would appear that Blade (Horizon Hobby) has developed a similar habit. I can't blame the designers entirely though. The technology seems to be...
I'll admit, a couple of those Walkera 450 models were intriguing, but I decided against them for Align type models with plentiful parts availability.
