Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / February 2005

HIGH COURT
(The Five Judges)
(Judge T., Judge B., Judge S., Judge M. and Judge K.)
1st VERDICT

a mate has given me a copy of realflight with the controller but the

now sure i can obtain a new controller for a cost however, i also have a
cable that come with a copy of truflite that plugs into a com port..

break is kind of fuzzy and bumpy... i.e. not at all smooth.

Unfortunately the heli was vibrating madly again*
today, so much so that I bit the bullet and just

   A friend of mine mentioned to me last night that had been told about
some new futaba servos. He was told that 'they're coreless digital servos,
5kg of torque and fast and cost about £20'
   Does anybody know where the info on these is, or even just that it's

As gloomily predicted by some of the people helping me
with the heli in real life, my R50 V2 SE gets a shake
after a few seconds in the air with the training gear on.
(This particular version of training gear is 4 sticks

Beware of Backyardhobbies.com
I ordered some parts from them on 1/29/2005.
I was on vacation at the time; so I entered an unconfirmed address in Paypal
to ship the product to where I was staying.

Presuming you'd want a small heli to fly indoors during these sucky winter
days, which one would you get?
- Walkera/GWS Dragonfly
- eSky Honeybee/Humble Bee etc.

is there a FMS model to download for a little electric powered model IE
honey bee or similar as most of the IC ones are quite easy to hover
