450 Cheap 450 Heli Build

[ChopDrifter]

Hey all,

Tony's cheap 450 build thread, has inspired me to buy and build my own cheap 450 heli.
I've got most of the stuff to start off. I got a couple of pics I'll post them as I go along.
I hope to get this thing in the air soon. Here's hoping.

Post up what you are working with. I may have some videos to help you out.

Just putting some plastic tubing on my DSMX satellite antennas, to make her look pretty.

Next I will apply some Grease Lightning on to the servo gears.

 

[Tony]

I should ban you just for posting that video lmao.

 

[ChopDrifter]

lol

O.K back to some serious stuff. Now that I've greased my servos, it was time to test them on my servo tester.
I noticed some servos pulled a bit more amps than others. Could it be my fault on the grease lightning or because I cheaped out on these servos???? I hope they all work well on the maiden. lmao.

Mass produced electronics are not going to be perfectly the same every time. Especially if you have two servos from two different batches. In all honesty, I would not worry about it.
