FBL Ufly

[3d-wanna-b]

Been a while since I've messed with the Ufly since its been needing some parts I'm thinking about doing a FBL conversion on it. I've seen some video but it really didn't look that stable. Has anyone her tried the FBL conversion yet?

AFter 6 months I can't make my Ufly fly..at most 5 seconds before it crashes, and I have the cb100 and it flies perfectly so I am not a beginner...I am desesperate with it so any conversion, kit, tip or whatever will be the best thing for this 2011!!
thanks

I viewed the FBL conversion a while back as well and wasnt really impressed with the stability. The same guy though came up with a Belll Hillier conversion that looked very promising and there should be an "Extreme" bell hillier conversion kit availlable early this year from MIracle Mart.

Try turning off "balance mode" on the RX. This will stop the 3A gyro's messing with your AILE and ELEV during take off. Fitting a steel flybar and heavier paddles can also be an assist for new pilots.

The CB100 has a 45deg phased flybar, and the Ufly is 90deg, so they will fly completly differant. 45deg phased flybars are used on beginners heli's such as COAX and CB100/CB180/Madhawk etc. This design inhibits forward flight.

You could also try a simulator such as RealFlight, Pheonix, Aerofly to get your hands used to real RC helicopter fly characteristics.

I converted mine this weekend and I love it! I added to jtpile's thread on what it took to make mine work.
