Im guessing that 6 channel controller will still be ok ?
Dont want to buy something that wont be any good lol.

If need the 10 channel then will have to save up !!

[karlos103]

Been looking at few more controllers.

We have -
Flysky i6 - 6 channel ( £43 )
Walkera DEVO 7 - 7 channel ( £44 )
Flysky i10 - 10 channel ( rough £140 )
Flysky FS-TH9X - 9 channel ( £66 )

or this on ebay ..bidding - Turnigy 9ER Pro with receivers.
this one buy it now - £80 = postage with reciever.

any thought ?

Cheers

Also noticed they do slanted gears ....what best to get ....straight or slanted ?

Have ordered the 25mm shaft motor ...only £31 from china ...bargain :-)

The "0.7M" is the "module" of those gears, a measure for the size of the teeth. The smaller that number the smaller, finer those teeth. Pinion and main gear have to have the same value, of course.
Slanted gears use 1.0M, so those gears are beefier than my 0.7M. That's a good thing because the larger that value the less likely they will strip (never had that problem anyway, though).
I would just get the pinion type that matches the main gear that's already on the heli. You can always convert to slanted gears later on if you want to.

If you are stuck on Flysky so I guess the 9ch sounds ok.

You could also look for a used JR DSMX radio. That's the same protocol as Spektrum, which is the most popular one, while the build quality is fantastic. I have a JR X9303; I believe the model name is different in Europe, but you should be able to find out the corresponding European model on Google.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2919692003...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Are these any good ?

[karlos103]

But what receiver to use with it and how much ?
Cheers
Karl

[karlos103]

Basically after something goodish… but not mega bucks ..spectrums seems to fetch good money ..plus have to get receiver… the turnigy need receiver if by new but that should be around £110 all in .
There is also the frysky taranis which is supposed to be good .
Choices… .choices lol

Good job in no rush to get one as every time I find one I want ..I find something better lol

If you get a Spektrum (or JR DSMX) radio take a look at Lemon RX receivers. They cost a fraction of the Spektrum ones and are supposedly very good quality. I replaced the Spektrum satellite on one of my helis with a $10 Lemon one, and it just works.

[pril250]

The receiver you will need with a DX7 would be AR7100+Satellite, will be nice if you can find a second hand pair.

RX inc satellite.

Good Deal but no satellite....

You have done very well there, I hope the DX7 comes with a battery and charger.

If not

One piece of advice, if you intend to buy and install the Flymentor, by all means do it but first have a perfectly setup heli that is capable of flying, once it is all sound then you can proceed. I know that does not make great sense and all sounds back to front but so is the nature of the beast.
