here are some pics of my new 425! I have only hovered it in my driveway so far but cant wait to fly it!

Jerrymac · 01-24-2011, 12:43 AM

Lookin good, but from the pics it don't look like the offset is right on the servo arms.

Mikej · 01-24-2011, 01:49 AM

As Jerry said - you need to set-up the off-set or use the CNC pitch/aileron and elevator levers, otherwise you will get binding / interactions

I ran into that too, its a good way to kill servos

There is a diagram in your manual hoe to drill the holes in the round servo
Plates that attach to the links, your running the cross type use the round ones

fusionsx00 · 01-24-2011, 08:01 AM

Im actually still having some binding, and the lengths given in the manual are for the plastic version
I didn't look on the new manual to see if the carbon frame has different lengths
I just set them with calipers and made them equal.
another problem I had is my servos are so huge I had to run the balls under the plates not over, but I have full range before they even get close to hitting.

Congrats on your 425! I have same issue with servos offset, right now waiting for large wheels to make that changes.
Is that your stock canopy? Or you buy it separately? Nice colors.

Greetings

nice bird. I like the color treatment on the blades

yeah....the offset,

KRYPTO316 · 01-24-2011, 09:14 PM

Thanks everyone,I ordered the cnc levers so that i wont have to bother with the offset. Looks like a pain and my hitec servos dont come with wheels. Custom heli parts has the carbon offset arms but there are different versions and couldnt decide which ones would be right so i just bought the cnc parts. They should be here tomorrow.

As for the tail blades they broke off on first spool up due to gyro switch was reversed.

So I replaced them with kbdd tail blades. they were only 1mm larger in size so i figured they would be fine.

Yes it is the stock plastic canopy. I work at a car dealership and had one of our painters spray it for me. I am not that talented when it comes to painting and dont have the patience.

Wow that's really nice for the plastic shell,
looks nice

Thanks, I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

fusionsx00 · 01-26-2011, 12:01 AM

Mesa, by the us 60 and 101

fusionsx00 · 01-26-2011, 12:01 AM

Man its perfect heli weather right now, gotta love phoenix

KRYPTO316 · 01-26-2011, 07:19 PM

Thats quite far from me, I am near I17 aand the 101. But still maybe sometime we can fly together.

You are right though,the weather is perfect. I keep reading about people back east that arent so lucky. I dont have the heart to tell them what our weather is like.

fusionsx00 · 01-26-2011, 07:34 PM

I do,
calm winds around 70 degrees
fly all day long if I wanted to

Doozer · 01-27-2011, 12:19 AM

You guys getting your parts from National Hobby? I'm desperate for a one way and some gears. Don't want to wait for an online order, but I might have to. All e is back ordered, Byron (at Duncan's) can order them but he doesn't have any on hand.

Happey Valley and 67th here.

I have been getting my parts from Byron through Empire Hobby which is in Tempe if i remember right.

Where do you usually fly?

Doozer · 01-27-2011, 10:03 PM

Empty lot across from CCV. I just fly electrics there. I think a nitro would make my neighbors mad. This is my 425:
