Hi guys; the build goes well!
I managed to pack all the electronics on to the airframe. Except the LED nav lights, I'll install the system after I tune in the heli. I got a nice spot saved for the controller.
Ok, here's the questions I promised..
I had to use the motor that came in the kit because the Scorpion motor I wanted to use is to wide for the airframe.. The manual says to set the timing to med. My ESC has a range from 0 to 30 degs.
Am I to assume, a medium setting is the same as 15 degs?
How does the one way bearing work? This has had me mystified for years...
All that's left now is to reprogram the gyro's end points and such. Double check the servo centering. Level the swash plate. And dial in the head... I'll also use some black silicone rubber to prevent chaffing of the wires that go through the frame.
Oh I almost forgot, the rudder servo's ball link seems to be in slight contact with the tail booms mounting block. I can't even slide a piece of paper between the two so I need to make it right.
And should the motor be so hard to turn? Seems the magnets are so strong...
Lions, tigers and bears; oh my...………….. LOL!
