Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / July 2005

Well i finally found a club in an area i'm moving to & what a pleasant
surprise it was too.
That being the Hindley Green club in Wigan.

Any one out there who know how to come in to service mode on the (SANWA)
Airtronic RD8000
It is in Mode 1 and i want it turned in to mode 2.Anyone out there who
know how to do it ??

payload? Anybody with experience?

Does anyone have a close up picture of their Rotopod training gear base as I
bought one from e-bay and I don't think the rubber bushings are correctly
setup.
Any pictures you have would be great.

I have a Venture 30 and I am considering throwing some additional
power at it.  I know I could just buy a bigger and more powerful
helicopter, but I thought I'd consider an upgrade before doing that.
Anyone ever put a .46 or a .50 in the Venture 30?  If so, what has to

Every now and then I see a reference to head speed of a heli, as in- 1800rpm

after 3 years of service leaving the thread knackered on the
glowplug/cylinder.

Well the heli is back in the air and seems to be running pretty good
except for a shake in the tail area. It could from somewhere else. I am
not sure though.
This is what I replaced:

hello, anyone here who knows other motors for the caliber m24. the original
are so expensive, are there other motors i can use?
i think the main motor is a 280.
and for the tail motor you can use the motors of piccolo and humminbird.

My venture 50 always ends up covered in oil after a days flying. I have a
curtis youngblood musclepipe with a short rubber extention on it aiming at
the ground but it doesnt make any difference. Anybody have an idea how to
avoid getting so much oil on the heli? Or am I just ...

What is the largest electric accurate scale helicopter, and what does it
cost?
