Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / December 2003

I took my Shuttle into forward flight for the first time yesterday and I was
wondering why the tail started swinging around.  Does the gyro need to be
more or less sensitive?  I think I have my rev. mixing set up okay.  During
hover I can give it full throttle suddenly and it rises ...

Dear,
I hope my english is good enought to understand my question.
It is just a theoretic question.
How long does it take a super gyro controlled heli rotates around 90 degree?

muffler bolt sheared today then muffler took off the throttle link ,
got my R30/Irvine39 down from about 50ft and held it down on -ve at
pretty much full throttle till the plug popped.
had to run about 150ml 15% WC thro it , it was not too hot after it

hey, my hummingbird equivilent helo doesnt take off straight (tilts to the
right and goes forward) how do I adjust this?

I just recently bought a gv1 and finally got it working properly, but
now it will not display my max rpm.
is there some setting that may affect this feature or is it broken ?

Awesome!!! Weather fantastic, cold, light breeze and SUNNY!
The X-Cell 46 Graphite powered by the Webra 52 AAR is SO powerful! It's been
a bugger to set up, and is still difficult to start, but when it goes it
GOES!!!! Press the loud stick forward and it becomes a dot!

On my electric aero-hawk helicopter. Whats with the little slide button
controls beside the controller sticks? Actually they are under them and
beside them. Are they crucial for flight? The manual dont have nothing
about them! The manual also has my controller reversed. It says that ...

Can anyone tell me the theory behind the weights on a fly bar? The further
out you have them makes the model do what......?

Took a brand spanking new Raptor 90 STD into the hover yesterday for the
first time. Brilliant:-))), and what a power compared to the Rap 30:-))

I've noticed CCPM conversions on the internet and am wondering whether there
is any benefit to be had over a non-CCPM set-up?
Comments?
(Part of the reason for asking is that I am putting my Raptor into a scale

Hiya,
I would like to build my own helicopter, I dont know how feasible this is,
I was thinking of using something like a strimmer engine, as there small air
cooled units, I was just woundering if anyone knew of any websites where
