Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / July 2003

I have just ordered a Feda Mini Dragonfly Heli, has anyone got any experience with
these and can pass on any tips, guidance with setting it up.
Thanks,
Gavin Jones.

Have recently bought myself a Shuttle Plus Helicopter following a brief
moment of enthusiasm after seeing one at a fair. As I understand, it's a
good model for beginners but will not  perform any 3D stunts. (fine with me
at the moment)

I have no idea what things like a "chaos" look like.  I bet I am not alone.
Are there any web based video clips I can grab to see?  Links anyone>?

I understand that the higher a CSM number goes (180, 360, 540 etc) the
"better" the gyro.  QUESTION...do the numbers have any specific
meaning...they seem to be 'degree' related but are they?  Or are they just
used to be clever by CSM?

Its amazing how the brain wanders on an afternoon like this when you should
be flying but cant!

I've got a Raptor 30 V2 and I'm considering changing the gyro for
better control. The one I've got is a cheapo (cost £30) and needs
upgrading. The following have ben suggested:
Futaba GY 401

I hope someone can help.....I'm breaking in a new TT50 engine and having
trouble. The mixture keeps going lean after 15-25 seconds in the air. I've
made the mixture richer, but I can get to a point where the fuel leaks out
the needle (at about 5 turns out!) and still it goes lean ...

As I was watching some video clips (see earlier posts).  I recently crashed
my Nexus when it pirrouetted out of control whilst inverted.  I never really
figured out why that happened...but, it had an old fashioned mechanical gyro
on it.  Could the inverted / negative G have toppled ...

As subject.
Must be PCM and not PCMS etc
PCM/PPM (fm) is also ok.

I am flying a Hirobo Eagle GSII (petrol) with a Futaba GY502 gyro and
digital S9253 servo on the tail.  The heli is practically free from
vibration, throttle and pitch curves have been optimised- I am running a
low/ gentle headspeed as I intend to use the airframe for a scale ...

I have no idea about model helicopters...what so ever
I have been for a lesson in a Robinson r22 though so I know the basics about
flight...
the question I have is what is the cheapest rc helicopter that is any good?

I am looking for an online store in the UK that will sell a tool to
remove the pinion gear from motors. Does anybody know of any?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello everyone , I 've been flying a raptor 30 for about 2 years now and
enjoy this hobby totaly . Last Friday I had a minor crash , no problem
had the needed spares on hand but I've been having problems with the tt
36 engine for a while now so during the rebuild I installed a OS 32 ...

Just wondering how you install g2 with the realflight drivers and xp?><?
I am having probs.....?????

I have a budget of £200 to spend on a new computer radio. I am torn between
the Hitec Eclipse 7 and the Futaba Field Force 6.
A little while ago I had a JR X-3810 but cant afford to get another one at
the moment. Is the eclipse as good as it looks or does the price reflect the
