If going from 3s to 4s you would drop prop diameter by about 20%. So 9x6 should be safe.

Looking good!

Low wing can be very stable and slow fling. Wing position is just one of several variables that effect stability. A little extra dihedral will make a low wing plane as stable as a high winger. Stalling is more down to wing loading and wing shape (and some other things) than it is about high or...

Great to hear it's working. One of the advantages of owning for too many helis is I get lots of practice setting them up!

How have you got the Spirit wired up, have you got the Special 'Jeti Integration Cable' (or make your own from an extension lead is what I do). The Spirit needs to be set to 'Jeti Ex Bus' in the 'receiver type' setting. You then need to open up the receiver setup from the Tx menu and set port E2...

Exciting indeed. I wish I could be there to see the maiden when the time comes. Hopefully you can shoot a video of a flight? By the way... have you tried the Spirit Geolink? I've not used it on my own helis but i set up one for a flying buddy and I gave it a few test flights. It actually worked...

Thanks! I think I slightly prefer the orange to be honest, but under the skin they are almost identical specs and they fly just the same. Both have retracts now. One thing with Henseleit helis is that if you get tired of the colour it's easy to change. The colour is just vinyl stickers, so you...

A pic of the orange TDR2 taken just before we went into full lockdown in the UK. This was at a new field I found not far from the office where I used to work (before the office was close and we all had to work from home). It's a nice field, it even has a stone circle!

If you are stuck just shout, I've setup more Spirit's than i can count, and I'm also on Jeti now so understand most of it's little quirks.

PS. REX3 is my default choice of Jeti Rx

What FBL if going in this beast?

If it’s a 1520us servo then the maximum frequency it can possibly be is 333Hz. Any higher and the pulses would be too close together or overlap, which wouldn’t work. it’s only narrow band 760us servos that can use higher frequency then 333Hz I’m confident that with a quality high spec servo...

Sounds like we are all going through similar restriction. For the last two weeks the UK is under lockdown. All non-essential businesses closed, leave home only for essential purposes, no gatherings etc etc. This had led to closure of all official club fields but i have been able to sneak out...

Awesome project, the Velos is a rare beast. I wish I could see it in person. Keep the pics coming

In ‘lockdown’ here. I’m working from home. I’m choosing to class RC flying as ‘exercise‘ so I have been out A couple of times and got a few flights in. I figure standing in a field with not another human in sight, only RC helicopters for company, meets the intent of the lockdown rules

The official UK Spektrum service center is LogicRC. I suspect Al's Hobbies send to to them. LogicRc are awesome, they serviced and replaced a gimbal on my old DX18 and shipped it back to me for free. They turned it round in a day too. I cant say enough good things about them. Logic RC - All Products

BeastX is a business all of its own, as noted above, based in Germany. Horizon used to licence BeastX technology for use in their AR7200, but that’s no longer the case, they have dropped BeastX and made their own FBL now. Generally there has been a drift away from TT drives with almost all...

Found this on Align's FB page: It looks like a slightly shrunken 700X. Hard to tell for certain with Align's record on naming conventions but I'm assuming it takes up to 650mm blades, so close to the 700X in size. 6S or 12S power. Looks like they kept the TT drive tail, hopefully beefed up...

JR went out of business and while another company picked up manufacture of some JR products (and the JR brand name) they don’t support discontinued models. Your best bet, if you like the Tx so much, might be to keep an eye on eBay and classified listings and see if you can pick up a similar...

For sure Henseleit are not cheap helis but if you keep your eyes peeled you can pick up bargains. The Orange one in the picture 'ready to fly' with the full Kontronik/Henseleit 'special eddition' electronics, Hitec servos, BD3SX FBL, Futaba receiver, Opto backup, Gens Ace 14S packs, retractable...
