Tried my hand...
Well with lousy weather around for the day and stuck at work..
Decided to give a new set of landing gear a try. About 30 minutes of heating and bending another hour or so for painting and drying in the oven. Tested them up to 80lbs static load so a 14 lb helicopter will be no issue..

How much..???
Been curious as to how large of a payload the 900E AP could lift off the ground and fly safely..
So first thing was to cast a 28 Lb lead weight.. Second was to suspend it with a minimum of movement... Then for the glory... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTuFSzRe-ho[/ame] Manage roughly 4 1/2 to 5 minutes carrying twice the weight of the helicopter.

That's nice. Didn't even seem like it was working all that hard to lift it.

She was turning @ 1100 RPM and 70% pitch. AUW 42 lbs.
The ICEHV80 data log shows 40A draw / 90% motor output, @ 75*F...the cooling fans are doing their job.

I know... I was just kidding.
Seriously though, when the weather improves this spring, are you going to take the 900/1000 out for a real spin in an open or larger area? I would love to see how it runs in some nice ap FF, dolly, pans and crane shots in a more realistic scenario and definitely from the on board camera perspective. I mean the yard just doesn't show off the full potential. I am curious as well if that frame and head can handle the shakes, bouncing and stress that happen with more movement swinging 900-1000 blades and more weight. It would be great and invaluable to see if you can get them out for a test sometime

Just got word the 980 main have come in, refitting the 900 with an RJX head and fitting them to that one.
The 880's will call home to the second ship Been working on the tail the last few days, it holds well enough at the 1000 - 1100 HS but getting a large bounce back. Ordered up some 130 tail blades to see if that helps, if not the next step is moving to a tri-tail. I have been itchin to get these machines to the field to get some flights in... But Mother Nature ain't having it.. Saturday, February 25 at 11am

Been tweaking the 900E in order to refit it to 1000, new mains are on the way..
Stiffened up the RJX head, and got it stable at 1000 rpm HS... just need to dial in the FBL after I install the new HV cyclic... It now starts getting interesting.... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq2v0GLUvD0[/ame]
