another mod, well sort of!

I cut about 3-4mm off the back of the main blades(straight cut) brings headspeed up and the motor seems to run cooler. Make sure to balance the blades for vibration free flying.

I found a great tool for cutting blades,,,,a paper cutter! It cuts the blades exactly the same.

That one is the same size as DF4, its big compared to the 4#3.

I think you refer to the 4#3A/B?

bummer dood

If someone would just make some stronger head parts for my 4#3 I would buy every upgrade they made but it looks like I will just sell my 43 on ebay and get this new heli.

Extra motor

Does anyone know if adding an extra motor wired in parallel to the existing motor would cause a problem. I have my little Walkera 4#3 but the motor is terrible and wears out the brushes due to over heating very quickly. Even with a heat sink attached. However using two motors slightly rearranged with a small bit of drilling would solve this problem. Doe anyone see and problems with doing this. Thanx

Option is to go brushless, using a Feigao smallest one in the line of IPS size motors, or the Losi motors, 2 cell, sepate components.
YOU can also try using the MIA Moto-Cool-er heat sinks if you want to stay 1 cell stock motor.

Parallel motor

I can defiantly see the big advantage of converting to brushless but it seems complicated and expensive having to buy extra circuit boards etc. Also the heli runs on a single cell which means another battery. I didnt want to risk using two in parallel incase of burning out the receiver due to a increased current. I mentioned about i guess this should be ok.

You can run a brushless on the single cell. Check out rcgroups they have a long thread about the brushless conversion.
