but what pakcs are you going with,

don't know if u know anything about thunder power, but will the TP 22.2v 2200 mAh packs fit and work??? :0

[Finless]

Yes those should work fine.

I am going to be using 6S 2500ma FlightPower packs.

just a quick question what does the manual say for. "tools needed"

[Pinecone]

Someone PMd me for the part numbers for the DuBro hrons.

So I looked them up. According to the Tower page, the LONG ones (Part Num 672) have holes at 15 mm for the Short and Medium horns, and the Normal ones (Part Num 675) have holes at 16mm for the Long, Dual and Triple horns.

I am home sick, so I should be able to check them again, if my brain allows me to remember.

OK, I checked, BUT sets of horns have holes at what I measure at 16.25mm. The better ones for helis would be the #675 horns. The #672 horns are super heavy duty and more for Giant Scale types. Tower calls the #672 Long, but they are Super Heavy Duty.

The 675 set has two longer horns that will work, plus the double and triple arms ones that you can cut the extra amrs off. There are 4 short ones, that are too short.

Hi bob,

Instead of using shoo goe, can I use a thin piece of hot glue ?

Hot glue stick to wires good but don't stick to shinny flat surface very well. Shoo goo stick to almost everything.

[jurassic5]

I went for a little piece of hot glue, like 1mm; should be fine

I got 5245MGs for the cyclic; seems the box is missing two spacer for the elevator servo. Maybe we don't need them.

In fact the spacers on the aileron servos are necessary cause both servos don't fit in the frame; we need to space them to make them fit.



The HS metal gear make a PERFECT 90° at middle stick.

What is Shoo Goo?
I guess it is some kind of universal glue, but does it have a more "international name"
that can be understood "on the other side of the pond" as well?

Shoo goo is what I was using to put on my old vans when skateboarding This prevent from the grip to scratch your shoes

Cédric

[Finless]

Yep... Align needs to put in another set of spacers for the HS5245 servos because the elevator ball link is not straight up and down. So now I gotta show how to make a set of spacers

If you cant find shoe goo then the best substitute is rubber or contact cement!

bob, will a 450 size heli pitch gauge work on these blades? that's all i have but i doubt the 500 blades will fit easily. if i'll need another pitch gauge could you recommend one?

[Finless]

Hmmm I dont know... I will see when I can and let ya know.

[wicked_n_raw]

If you have the align pitch gauge (that is the only small one I have) it will fit the 425 blades without any problems. I use it for my lepton.

[Finless]

Yep just checked myself and you can use it.

Builders adhesive (No Nails) or similar - which seems rubber based also works well

Step 7A is up using HS-5245MG servos!

Finally I can move on

Thanks so much again Bob!

[psindrup]

And nice long servo wires this time
(Almost reason enough to choose this servo over the other)

Peter

[Mr. Slumber]

Talking about the missing spacer trouble for the HS-5245-MG wouldn't these spacers fit?

What do you think?
