pitch black Senior Heliman Location: Singapore
| Well, the X-5 flew today.
Damn is it a smooth machine. I was so surprised with the quiet mechanics. Even when the helical gear was meshing into each gear.
I had to bring down my curve to prevent it from overspeeding. This thing flies straight and true, superb. Coupled with the G770T, i forsee lots of fun. I'm using the new RJX tail rod guides too.
Just some things to take note:
1) Loctite all your bolts properly, few of mine came out although i used loctite. 2) Make sure to loctite the tail pitch slider assembly, more precisely the brass collet inside the metal slider. It's not stated on the manual, but do it. Mine almost totally came out. (Left hand thread)
Thanx!
