HIROBO Freya - Sceadu - Shuttle > 50 in a vintage shuttle?

we have a vintage shuttle that we've fixed up so my planker friend can get into flying helis. It flys like a champ with a few new head parts upgraded but we are up at 6500ft so power on the OS32 leaves alot to be desired. Does anyone out there know if there are new clutch/pinion gears availbe so we can get the correct ratio for a handme hand me down os50? I just trying to get him to catch the bug and learn to fly on this old champ so I want to keep the budget in reason. Don't need to dump alot of money into this heli

thanks

An OS .37 fits right in. I think a .50 can be made to work but I haven't done it.

Hirobo used to sell a conversion kit to install a .46 into a shuttle. The OS46 and OS50 have the same case dims, btw.

Gearing remains the same at 9.6:1. In fact the only two parts in the conversion kit are fan hub and motor mount.

I have a 10 year old Hirobo color brochure kicking about... I'll try to find the p/n of the conversion.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

my shuttle has an os 50 in it with the lama 46 conversion but i'm using the 30 fan hub
you can not change the gear ratio
it uses the sceadu boom and the gph346 belt and 600mm blades
i made a frame brace from 2mm ali plate as you can just see in the photo
you need to trim the main frames to clear the carb



i would recommend a high flow cooling fan (quick uk or similar) to keep the motor cool

the only problem it has is the small 30 sized fuel tank
but this will be cured when it goes into a 60 size funky agusta body

as the coversion isn't available try usig the sceadu 50 engine mount and the shuttle 30 fan hub you may need to re-drill the engine mounting holes in the mount or main frame for it to work
the other engine mount to try is the t-rex 600n

racingstripe,

Thank you very, very much for taking the time to scan in page #2 of the 1995 Hirobo catalog. Especially since you did it in high reseloution - which make it easy to read and see the photos...

Is there any way you would be willing to take a few minutes and scan the rest of the catalog and post it here? As a "collector" of older helis (especially Hirobo), having such information is invalauble in trying to restore older helis.

Thank you very much in advance.

SVRW flying site.

I have an MP2 muffler for a 30. I'll put it in my flight box, next time you're out you can try it to see if it'll make enough of a difference.
