Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / April 2004

I have recently installed one these things into a Raptor V2 with an OS50.
Before installation throttle and pitch curves are working properly and heli
is flying nicely. I set up the TJP as per the instructions on their website
for a JR PCM9X and all looks well. In monitor mode you ...

I have flown fixed wing for some time, and am now learning on heli's
with a Nexus 30.
I now appear to have an interference problem.
A week ago when i was practising the heli seemed slow to respond, very

I'm currently practicing on an R/C simulator and was wondering if anyone
could offer tips?
I have taking off and flying down.. but am having difficulty figuring

I just got my engine, in my brand new Hawk, tuned up and was testing
the throttle and other settings when the rotors, rotor mast, and the
entire heli started to shake real bad. I set it on the floor in my
garage and at about half throttle the shaking got bad and it was

Please give me some advice.  I have not flown helicopters for about 5 years.
I am patiently waiting for Futaba to come out with a new radio to replace
the 9Z WC2 Series systems.  I have heard that possibly a 12 channel is in

the chopper is wired to the ground. Then I could adjust the throttle curve

Well, to all who might not have met this before anyway.
I always secure my servo extension leads with either a tie wrap or a piece
of heatshrink.
The gyro (yes, the 400 mentioned elsewhere) was fitted to my Sceadu and the

What is an "arse"?
Is it the same thing as an "a.s"?
Is it illegal to say "a.s" in the UK?
Thanks for the clarification.....

The short of it:
When I completely lower the throttle and throttle-trim, shouldn't the engine
cut out? What reasons could cause it from not cutting out?
The long of it:

Well, I have a 400 I think is 'knacked' (sic) and wonder would CSM service
it or do they regard them as consumables?

I'm currently considering buying an electric helicopter to fly in a small
field close to my house (100 x 100 meters) to do some basic aerobatic and
3D.
How would you compare the Logo 10 and the Quick E10 (the carbon version) ?

how much their latest purchase(s) costed.
I managed to pursuade my wife that my new Futaba FF6 TX only cost GBP 50.
Felt a bit guilty about though.
