News from LAHeli


I received a post from LAHeli and they are in preparation for a new Maxir Special limited Edition made all from anodized aluminun.

Second model to be introduced is Maxir 4. 4 blades head on standard Maxir frame.

So we can expect to have upgrade for Maxir soon. Yes!!!

More Bearings and 3D Paddle


- Parts Y0425 and Y0426 can be replaced for small bearings.
- some pilots add one more Y0424 and YL002 cca 3cm from boom forward end to strenghten the carbon drive holding pinion.

You can add 3D paddle on your model part number is Y1323 - the difference is the weight, machine is more maneuverable, which cost you some stability.

Thanks rocheleaud.... looks to be about 1mm too big on the ID for my P.O.S. H2.... I will whittle a tail boom out of wood before I pay $24 for a new one from MS.

Unless the boom is completely ripped apart, it can be easily repaired.

This stuff will repair blades, booms, landing gear etc. Speaking from personal experience....

MAXIR KIT not ARF

Well one more addict on the hook!
I just got a kit yesterday from ICARE trying to save few dollar for spare parts. My first impression was waooooo!
However, after starting the assembly I was a little bit frustrated. There are obviously few changes on the design that wasn’t reflected in the instruction. One part has duplicated and the right one was missing! Not everything snug fit, if you don’t have a Dremel then the kit is not recommended.
I’ve to grind the tail shaft and the cross head shaft to fit the bearing in and enlarged few holes to fit those CF rods. You must be very careful not to make it too big or grind it too small then your dead!
Luckily that I’m loaded with tools and this is my fifth helicopter kits otherwise….man stay away from the kit.
I must say this is a very good helicopter, good design, but manufacturing and quality control still has a long way to go. This is not a Japanese nor German made! Hope some people agree with me.

GoodMan

I had none of those problems in assembling one of my two kits ...but the second one was already assembled .The only problem i had is sanding the carbon tail shaft to put the bearings on . I will ask Stephane Monfette , one guy in the club , who got a new kit how it's going on with his assembly .

Can you make a list of the problems you encountered and send it back to Etienne ??? i think this helicopter is still fairly new and we might help them set it up correctly . I still remember the first hornet II i build ... what a pain ( and it never flew corectly ) . And i still remember my first eolo 2 years ago ... it was fairly new on the market also and had those type of problems ( but this one fly verry , verry good now ) . I know it can be frustrating sometime ... but stick with it , it will reward you . Helnet and i know that it fly verry well .

By the way , keep in mind that this is a micro . Building 50 or 60 size helicopters is fairly differents . There is no way to compare both . (All thoses parts are so small ... if i compare the Maxir to a Shogun , T-rex , hornet II or picolo pro , the Maxir is a blast !!! it's the first time i run over 20 flight without incident on a micro ( ask me about the shogun tail pinion and tail shaft , broke on me three time ) . , and ask me about the 1000$ i spend on three hornet II kits and end up trowing everything in the garbage !!! ( ok , not everything , i still have the servos , speed control , gyro , etc ) .

I can see that you are in the Montreal area . If you whant to join us , we fly indoor saturday morning and sunday night . PM me if you whant more informations .

Keep us informed , it's good to have other guy reviews and opinions . Thanks a lot !!!

Head Speed



Humpee

What is your max head speed with your Shultze 11.20e controller?

With my setup I can only tach 1900rpm.

Maxir micro heli

I wonder if Runryder will make a separate information thread like all of the other Heli's, as this is a very good little machine,

Mark what do you think?????????

Headspeed with Schulze

Yep, I have also problems with low headspeed. First measured headspeed was around 1900.

After that I have increased the ATV (Futaba FF9 transmitter) to maximum. Now the headspeed is around 2000-2100. (Note, the accuracy of the measured headspeed is poor; since I only have JP SUPERtacho, which is designed for airplanes...)

Higher headspeeds were possible when governor mode was off during initial tests.

I have Schulze 11.20e with v7 software.

Hey guys ,

I wrote to shultze and still waiting for an answer . I also have v7 ( bought it last year ) . Etienne told me ( and it make sense ) that the explanation is because the internal frequency at wich the speed control sense the motor is lower on this one . And since the AXI is a multi pole motor , the controler is not fast enougt to permit reaching the maximum RPM of this motor at 11 volt .

Anyone know the gear ratio of the Maxir ( what is the main gear tooth count ??? ) i need to provide it to Shultze but are not at home right now ...

thanks

N.B all the upgrades are in place , i can't wait flying it sunday night ...

Hey Collin !!!!!

You are at the end of the world now !!! ( kidding ) ... how is it going man ;o)

Yeah , i am the one who pushed Etienne to import the Maxir . I was fed up with hornet , shogun etc ... when you have 2 logo10 and 2 eolo , someone standards go pretty high ( i mean , in the micro world ) .

Yes , i gave some broken Maxir blades to Paul for him to send it to you . But as far as i know , those look like H2 blade . So , maybe i can try the Like 90 blades for hornet 2 ... But i remember Paul saying that you already have sent it to him ( or Alexandre ) ...

I will contact you directly ... thanks
