Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / January 2005

My little Honey bee 2 3D  arrived today from hobbyjapan2000 and despite the
fact they say everything is tested twice before it left the shop I don't
think its been test flown as the paddles point in different directions the
3d switch had fallen inside the TX wrong TX mode no training gear no sim
cable and a few other minor faults(which I have emailed them about) I have
now a few questions
1, do I balance the helicopter neutral nose down or nose up? as the
instructions are crap
2, are the paddles supposed to be neutral if that's the right term or do
they have a set pitch, if I check 1 paddle and turn the head trough 180
degrees the paddles should they be the same pitch?
3, how high do you need to be to get out of the ground effect
4, could the Tx  be on PCM as the rx ignores my FF9 if I swap both crystals
for Futaba(so I had to mode swap the TX pain in the bum but quite easy)
5, my FF9 will not light up the RF output light when I use the crystal for
the Esky TX any idea why?
6 , can somebody build me a bigger kitchen please
Kevin
tomorrows question will be where do I get spares ??
