nice!

Like they say in racing... it's better to be lucky than good!


Nice pics blazek.

Glad you found your heli and in good shape! That is the exact reason my heli has a beeper on it! There are a lot of crops around here in the summertime so I installed a voltmeter with a beeper on it. If the reciever looses signal from the Tx (or turn radio off) it beeps loudly. It could take FOREVER to locate it by sight in the 10 ft. high corn!

sotiri the true is that we had take some great shots but the most amazing thing would be to record by your cam the ''way down'' .... maybe the next time ....

Dear flyboy as you can see from the airshots nobody was around except me and sotiris... when i had the flame-out the heli was about 300-400 metres away from us so it would be impossible to hurt someone but anyway thnx for your kindy comments! unluckily for us we don't have here a local fields and the rules about rc flying are absent... so first we fly far away from people for their safety and after for us

dear daggit it's not a bad option... i could say very interesting and i would be glad to here more about it...

btw guy's if that happend with the mount and the camera and rest of these very expencive equipment installed what can you do to save your heli and it's stuff ... except to be a lucky bastard as sotiris said before... is there anyway to land it by an auto and if yes what is your set up in your radios?&helis...

cheers

daggit this is a very nice add on and definetelly very useful.

OMG with all this mess I forgot that I told you to mount my VCR and record. Now I am happy we didn't
And you should be happy also cause if we had this crash would have cost you 1100 Euros instead of 100
I suppose all day long you had the feeling something bad will happen. Otherwise you told me so "Today I am going to crash".

Is this what we call the 6 sense?

You are damn right. Many times I am thinking am I going to crash today or not and thats exactly what I am saying to myself "Shut the f*&^% up."

But we all know a crash is unavoidable. What I wish is all crashes we are going to have to be like Johns. With minimal damage.

I had a flame out last spring with full helicam setup due to running out of gas! (duh)

I autoed it in. Landing was a kinda hard but the camera mount took all the damage. Helicopter and camera were fine. Camera mount needed a little re-alignment and the pan/tilt servo gears needed replacement because the camera tray hit a bump on the ground.

Total cost of crash $15 for servo gears. Still using the same mount and heli.

flaming out

John

What about overheating? Maybe mixture was too lean causing overheating and then engine stopping...is it glow or gas?

"and again while i was flying in a 3D attidude with my heli while i was going for a stall-turn i heard the engine turns off.... any sugestions what this cause it??"

Taking a look at the plug should tell if you were lean for it to quit.
I've overheated an OS61WC back in the Freya days, but the tell tale sign afterwards was a smoking engine that you couldn't get close to with your fingers.

Do you have a gov. installed?

Using any pumps?

Do you have a fail safe set for throttle? If so does it go to idle, remain the same, kill the engine......

If not it sounds like a plumbing problem.

If your using muffler pressure you might double check that also for
any blockage.

I would also replace all fuel lines and double check the tank clunk and any fuel filters. Also the fuel line inside the tank can stretch with time making it possilbe for it to hang in a corner with 3D. Same goes if you have a header tank.

Lastly I would pull the carb and clean it out and make sure it makes
a good seal when placed back on the engine case.


Cheers,
Jeff

Your pictures look great. You can see a small bit of blur, it looks like you have some sort of vibration getting into the platform. Food for thought.

The mount & pictures look great.
