Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / November 2003GV 1 and OS 50 with JR8103
I am hoping some one has some advice. I have a falcon 46 se with an OS 50, and today I went out and bought a GV1, they give you two mounts one for a 30 and one for a sixty and neither of them work. I guess I am going to have to make my own bracket? Does it matter how far from the center of the fan that the sensor is mounted, and do I need a special drill for this. I have seen from previous posts that some people have wrapped that crappy sensor holder in cotton and covered it with ca glue, What is ca glue? And what is the best way to set this thing up on a JR-XP8103 with a 7 channel receiver and a GY401 Can I adjust my head speed from my remote and what should I set my head speed to? Thanks for your help, I know I am dumping a lot of questions on you Greg Oh and BTW I have never flown this before but very soon I hope. the sixty size mount should fit! it does on mine! You'd be better off getting a quick uk metal fan or similar. It has the holes pre drilled for the magnets! > I am hoping some one has some advice. > I have a falcon 46 se with an OS 50, and today I went out and bought a [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Oh and BTW I have never flown this before but very soon I hope. > the sixty size mount should fit! it does on mine! > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> Oh and BTW I have never flown this before but very soon I hope. Greg, The instructions will tell you where to place the sensor and magnet and as far as wrapping the sensor in cotton etc, CA glue refers to cyano acrylate glue (superglue). However, I got some 13mm diameter heatshrink from Maplin, slipped a length of that over and shrunk it on using a hot air gun. Looks neat, is very simple to do and easy to remove if need be. More importantly, it seems to do the trick! I'll leave someone else to recommend headspeeds. 1550 seems fine on my Raptor 30 for the sort of flying I'm doing at the moment. BTW, I also use a 3810 and have the governor switching on and off using the gear switch. Connect the governor ON/OFF lead to the gear channel on your receiver, then, on the governor, look through the settings and change StSw to INH (stops the governor switching off when you pull the collective right back). Then select SWCd and move the gear switch on the tranny. You should see the display change from "ON" to "OFF". If you want to reverse the operation of the gear switch, you can either reverse it on the tranny or change it by using the SWPt setting on the governor. I have it so that I start the model with the gear switch pushed back (governor OFF), then once at the flying area, flick the switch forward to switch the governor ON. It then "engages" as you raise the collective/throttle and won't disengage until you flick the switch back again. In other words, you can use the whole range of collective stick travel without worrying about the engine going to idle (and you don't need to worry about "idle up" settings either...). If you want to change speed remotely, you can do it using the Flight Mode switch, but I think you need another channel on the receiver (AUX3). I am getting a 10 channel receiver shortly so will be trying it out. Regards, Tim >> the sixty size mount should fit! it does on mine! >> [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > (AUX3).

An afterthought - you could probably get the three speeds without needing another channel by using mixes and activating them via the 3-position Flight Mode switch on the 3810. I have seen reference to this sort of thing elsewhere on the net and I thinkyou basically do it by setting different ATVs for the gear channel in the different flight modes. This would fool the governor into thinking you had a multi position switch. Don't ask me how to do it though - I'm trying to work it out myself! I suggest you copy your heli program to a spare memory slot on your tranny and have a play with your back-up program, setting the mixes and observing the servo display on the tranny. That's what I'm doing. Probably much more straightforward with a spare channel though! Tim |
