Rotorworkz FCS Frame Conversion for Guai

[caotri]

Hi, I got frames and they look great. Just make the battery tray a little bit larger I can put 8 cll A123 and the heli is in good balanced. Try to get pics next days.

[concept1]

Please post pics of the 8s A123!!!! I also want to go for A123.
also can someone explain the difference in the 3 frames, G10, carbon and the silver. weights, strenghts etc.
thanks

Hi guys!
I a, sorry for late reply and pics post. just because it is new year time in Viet Nam. Here is pics:

Full system with:
Rotor work frame, Z20 A 1470 motor, CC80 ESC, Cylic servos futaba 3050 digital, Gyro 611 and BLS251
This is Rotowork frame and I have to put washer in front 3 links to make frame 3 more mm larger to fit 8S A123.


Closer view

From front view

tail case hdx550 and Microheli tail rotor . Thanks Microheli for this test tail rotor and working great even at 2500rpm HS.

with 8S A123





The only problem now is the heli is 1.95kg without battery and with 8S A123 it is almost 2.6kg. it seem the sevo and gyro so heavy.

Is there a PDF available somewhere with assembly instructions? Not sure if these are supposed to come with a set of instructions, but mine didn't.

Very nice set of frames otherwise

Thanks Charley!

got my G10 version SAT, man can't wait to get it finished, I am about 1/2 done with the build, so far my impressions ARE this is no doubt the best frame choice out!.

[Charley Stephens]

Cool keep us posted show som pics

[concept1]

ok Charley, I did manage to find one thing you could improve on! if you could for us guys who are flying A123 cells, as you know we need to widen the lower frame, I found the perfect way to do this is to use my left over Trex 450 aluminum grip spacers, they are the same diameter as your spacers and one on each side fits the A123's perfectly. so I end up with a very nice looking spacer, better then adding washers. the problem is the lower battery tray. if you could possibly extend the 4 tabs on the lower tray that would allow us to easily widen the top and bottom of the lower frame, and for those not widening it, well having the tabs stick out the side of the frame 1mm is not a problem, or they can sand them off if they choose. as it is now if I widen the bottom of the frame the lower tray will not fit, it just falls out! my options are to cut my own tray 1 or 2mm wider, or most likely I will just cut and bolt on new tabs to the original plate. or leave the bottom As is, I beleive I can stuff my packs in their, 7s fits no problem with just the top widened, depending on balance 8s may or may not fit without wideing the lower. I hope to finish up tonight and get some pics. I just can't decide how to lay out my electronics, to many options on this frame! if I go with the boom mount tail servo, that opens up the spot in the frame for the servo , I can mount my Rx their, leaving the whole bottom tray open for possibly rear access to Lipo's (maybe battery changing with no canopy removal)?? again depending on balance!

charley could you possibly let me know where you sourced the threaded inserts that are used where the servos attach (i think they are called broaching nuts or self clinching nuts) as i am in need of 50-100 of them in M2 thread. thanks in advance

Charley

Are these specs final?
Its possible to fly with 2x2500 3S1P?

[Charley Stephens]

[Timmey]

Thanks Charley.

Another question maybe I want to buy some more Rotorworkz FCS Frames. My silver FCS is shipped now :-) Whats the difference between the g10 and CF frame in strength and weight?

Hi

I have received my brand new Carbon frame yesterday after two weeks of wait. It’s very nice I really like the detail and finish of it. It was well worth the wait

Last night I ve stay up, building it, until very late as you could understand I couldn’t wait. I have finish the assembly and when installing the shaft and gears I ve notice that spinning the main shaft has very hard!!!!

After a close inspection I found out that when spinning the shaft a cracking noise starts as like all the gears (Autorotation gear, secondary and pulley gear) are to close together and when spinning they make this noise with each other.

Does anyone come across this ….Can you help??? I have followed closely the internet instructions and I think I have built this as close as possible….

Is there any way I can install the metal bearing housings a few millimeters away from each other in order to free them a bit and move more freely.

[Stallion]

Could some one please explain to a nob what the big difference is between G10 silver CF and black CF except the price ! espescially black and silver CF! isn't it both carbon Fiber????

I am lost here!

I really like this Frame Design. With the stock frame i am unable to balance my heli with the bigger packs i am flying!! even with the tailservo on the boom.

the only thing that holds me back from ordering one right now is the problem withe the bearingblocks not beeing in the correct spot as Madedon wrote.

Is this a genral issue or just a single case??

I got the same problem with 3 of frame I bought from helidirect. the silver version anespecially with 20T oneway bearing gear.
I have to hold out the fiber to move this a little bit oneway gear and front tail polley out and itis smooth.
However I have the tail vibration with headspeed under 2200rpm. if about 2400rpm it seem ok.
I got 20 flys and can not fix the tail vibration upto now with about 2000rpm.
