450 Warp 360 got some Hawk tail

[heli-maniac]

Well did the Hawk tail upgrades on the Warp
Here is before and after now just got to get it out and see how it flies

 

[Island Breeze]

Love upgrades...you don't want to put them Curtis blades back on there?

 

[heli-maniac]

The Hawk tail rotor is shorter so it makes a smaller disk . its way small with the 59.6 Radix blades
So i put the 62 Fusuno blades to bring it back up it is still smaller with the 62mm blades

 

[Slobberdog]

Jesse is that because the centre hub is smaller or the grips

 

[heli-maniac]

both are smaller

 

[Dirk]

Love the shoes in the second pic Jesse! LOL!!!

Tail does look good though!

 

[heli-maniac]

Always got to get the work shoes in some were

 

[Dirk]

Those work shoes pays for the toys!! You have to feature them somewhere! LOL!!

 

[Lee]

Looks great Jesse. I'm gonna go slightly different from you. I'm keeping the stock tail grip assembly and upgrading to the Hawk tail box and side plates.

 

[heli-maniac]

I wish they would sell just the tail box seeing how i already have the side plates
But yea that tell box is sweet looking . have you seen there carbon fiber boom 7 mm thick and you have to use their tail box for it

 

[Lee]

I'm a bit weary of carbon booms after my experience on the 450 with bd vibes. I'm still running the original thin boom. We'll see when i crash, what i'll get next.

 

[heli-maniac]

But with it being 7mm thick over the new 4mm boom and belt drive i dont see it having tail vibes

Took it out to see how it would work
and not good still got A slow tail wag and I'm as low as i can go on the gain

 

[Tony]

If the tail is hunting (going slow back and forth) then you need to raise your gain. If it's a tail wag (back and forth really fast and hard), then lower the gain. I'm sure you know this, just posting on what I read.

Tail looks good.

 

[heli-maniac]

I think it has to much mechanical gain and I need to move the ball closer to center on the servo arm
The specs say 12mm center if i recall But warp owners are say that is to much
I have a servo arm that i can try on it that is A 7.5 mm center

Yep move the ball in. 7.5 will be fine mine is at 8mm. The manual say 12 but its way too much.
I think i mentioned that in my build thread.
