| Recommended Belt-CP Improvements
I really like the Belt CP. However, there are a few items that need a small improvement with the kit. They are:- canopy rod slides side-to-side
- battery is not overly secure
- battery tray is weak (especially in a sub-zero crash situation)
- swash anti-rotation bracket breaks too easily (see note above)
I recommend making these simple improvements to your kit...
Materials: - CA adhesive
- 2 popsicle sticks
- 2 pcs - 1" adhesive velcro
- 1 pc high-density foam - 37x32x15mm
- hot melt glue
Details:
- CA the popsicle sticks to both sides of the battery tray
- Fasten 1 pc of velcro to the foam block, and another piece to the back of the battery tray
- Secure the foam block to the battery tray
- Add 1 pc of velcro to the front cross member of the battery tray
- Cut the last pc of velcro and attach it to the battery at the corresponding point
Battery can now be installed in the heli, and will be secure.
- put a small dab of hot melt glue on both sides of the canopy rod
(this allows you to be able to easiy remove it if/when necessary)
- reinforce the swash anti-rotation bracket with hot melt glue
Improvements complete!
Happy flying! |
