New Velocity 90 N2

[cbcelectech]

So the saga continues..........

I got further into the build and noticed I am also missing the tail control pushrod that goes from the servo to the tail belcrank.

As usual with Outrage kits, the links are VERY tight and all required a fair amount of sizing.

The tail assembly was kind of odd. Some bolts were finger tight, with NO locktight, while others (specifically the three screws that hold the frame end of the boom block onto the gear assembly) were gorilla tight and/or red locktighted. I'd prefer that EVERYTHING be finger tight to aid in installation and locktighting.

I LOVE the new one piece engine mount. Much better design than the original three piece.

As I've said before, the tail assembly is art and is just as as home in a glass display case as in the air doing hard 3D.

I called helidirect today and they are shipping out the missing pieces without fuss. It sucks to have missing pieces but HD is awesome about taking care of problems. They looked up my order, asked me what I was missing and that was it, they said it should be shipped out today or tomorrow.

Just to be sure; you did remove the contents from in the boom correct? I'm not sure how the kits are being packaged with the new tail assembly, but the tail when purchased separately as an upgrade, had the tail control pushrod inserted in the boom. Maybe the boom supports are also packaged there.

Thinking about getting one of these while the price is right. How is the replacement parts situation for these? And who sells them? Kit looks good though

Thanks for any info
Mike

Oh well...couldn't let that deal go! Hope they are all they look to be. Can't wait to get it in the air!

Helidirect has most parts in stock, however I don't see the parts (ie. bevel gears, counter gear) for the new tail on the site.

[chopperhawkman]

I ordered one if these. They seem to have a lot of issues. Is this still the case? Have they been addressed?

[p00rboi]

All of the issues have been addressed, however there is still the occasional report of minor fitment issues. One that comes to mind was the holes for the servo mount tabs needed slight filing. You won't be disappointed!

After installing the NEW tail assy on my original 90 I have been super happy with it. The new main gear is addtional comfort however I had no issues on the original Main gear with a YS 120.

installed the CNC main and the new tail and ... great flying machine. With the v-bar silverline its like on rails.

I'm testing, but feel rock solid tail.

[chopperhawkman]

Ok. Maybe I am missing something here but could someone explain to me how the fan shroud is held on with these goofy rubber orings and washers? nevermind I got it...dont like it but got it.lol


Thanks
Mike

[chopperhawkman]

This may sound like a stupid question but. Can someone tell me which hole in the fbl head does the head bolt go through? There are 3 holes.

Thanks
Mike

[im4711]

not at home right now so I cannot look at my V90. Still I think its the middle hole as shown in the manual page 9.

[RotaryBliss]

correct, the manual depicts it in the center of the 3 holes..

[chopperhawkman]

thanks for the info...I overlooked it.

Is anyone able to scan in the 3-page addendum and post it to the forum?

I recently purchased a second hand V90N2, but it didn't come with any manuals or addendum.

Thanks.

[cbcelectech]

I can scan the addendum, but it'll be a few days. Out of town on business.

I assume the addendum is for the N2 tail? I have an N2 kit but no addendum in my manual

[cbcelectech]

Yes, the addendum is in addition to the kit manual. It would have been stuffed onto the long skinny box that the tail came in. With all the drooling over the tail, it's understandable how a lame three sheet manual could be overlooked.
