| Well , I put my JR Venture back in the air last night. I tried my first ever Auto's last Monday and did one fine, but hit the ground too hard on the second one, caused a boom strike.
Anyway, I had an all metal swash plate setting at home off an Ergo 46 3d. I acquired it in a bag of parts I gave some guy $100 for last year. This thing is solid aluminum, 120'CCPM swash, very nice looking and solid as a rock, I have no idea what it cost new but it sure looks pricy.
The heli performed very well, those things you do where your at a hover and flip the heli for or aft 360', I don't know what those are called or may be it's just a tight loop, hell I don't know. But it did those very nicely, just flipped right over, very quickly. 
I have now used two parts out of that bag of parts on my Venture, I have the metal motor mount, and now the metal swash plate.
One thing though, I think my OS 32 is running toooo HOT. It seems to start loosing power after a few minutes in idle up. I've read the threads here and a few other web sites about how to keep the engine running cooler but so far no luck.  |
