jh4db536 Senior Heliman Location: Monterey Park, California
| that's MIA landing gear. I like it a lot, it was a pain in the ass to mount though. the heli frame is a lot higher from the floor and the springy struts should absorb lots of shock. i havent had a hard landing on this heli yet.
using a trex servo mount, carbon rod, and forked XL pitch slider. i put my RX in the tail servo hole of the frame (esc and rx are far apart as possible). im also gathering parts for a XL/SE rotorhead swap. im thinking of adding the 245mm boom too, but i dont know yet.
having mounted my Apex2200 diagonally (improvising an aluminum tray that i took off my old shogun) i can fit the canopy and maintain perfect CG. running a separate Rx battery so i dont have issues with the ESC (so far ive had zero heat or shutdown problems since resorting to this). |
