What swash mix are you folks using on your radio? SR3? CCPM?

Thanks.

Looking forward to my Zoom arriving.

Futaba S3108 servos
Futaba GY401 gyro
HiTec HS50 for the tail
Kokam 2000 2S LiPoly
Razor MicroHeli V2 Brushless
Phoenix 25 ESC

Only running 2 cell LiPoly to keep the revs of the Razor down - prepared to switch to HiMax 2025-2700 with 3 cell LiPoly if need be.

Regarding pinions - has anybody tried pinions from Kyosho MiniZ racers? Not sure what pitch they are, the MiniZ motor has a 2mm output shaft and they do have 7, 8 and 9 teeth pinions. In addition there is one MiniZ Delrin pinion that is very long - check this link out:

Although it's discontined I have seen it listed on other R/C car sites.

Have fun...

I am considering getting a Zoom 400 as my next heli. Does anybody know how much replacement parts are? Main blades? Tail rotor blades? Tail boom?

Thanks,
SailMike

Zoom parts - $22USD for main blades - $9.5 USD for tail blades - not cheap but not as bad as hornet....

Let's hope that this little heli ships/sells in volume over the next 6 months - purchasing and upgrades would both be good then...

My current favorite is the HiMaxx 2025-4200 with a 10 t pinion and ThunderPower 1320mah 3s LiPoly's. Raw eyeball bleeding power

3s 1500mah Lipoly packs and a brushless motor will get you anywhere from 10 to 15 min depending on motor selection and gearing.

HOVERUP:

I have the exact same set up. So much power that I'm only running 70% at idle up, with over 2,000 head speed.

But, just the other day I was experiencing the motor cutting out. I'm guessing the speed controller can't handle the amps.

What speed controller are you using and how many amps?

Thanks.

Thinking of the zoom as my next heli but dont have alot of expieriance with mixing. I have the hi-tec 6channel laser with manual epa and rudder and aileron adjustments. Do I need a different radio if I get the zoom. Im not ready for 3d yet but dont know about mixxing

No mixing required. It's not CCPM.

I flew this on my 9C and used one of the profiles that came with the radio.

My designs. LG is from MIA-MicroFlight tied to the Zoom chassis with a pair of CF panels that hopefully will be available from MJP Carbon soon. The CF Gyro/Servo mount, CF fin set and CF battery tray extension are available now from MJP Carbon. DIY kits for the CF boom supports and T/R pushrod will be available soon from the same source. A CF tailboom with 4 Boca ball bearings is in field test now and may be available also if testing continues to go well.
