tail rotor
My tail motor gave in after 30 or so flights, no problem. But I've been struggling a bit to get a replacement one to hold well. Today it was totally hopeless - total blow out, checked the V2 tail rotor - seemed ok. Put on the KBDD mCPx tail rotor >> perfect hold! (And much more durable too, the stock one bend very easily)
Another thing: We previously tried to find out where to buy that white "glue stuff" that's on the heli. A HH rep suggested Testor's universal glue. That's not it, it's way thinner & more transparent. Anyone found out? Some kind of silicone perhaps?

white silicone type glue works well also.

I think it's liquid rubber or the liquid electrical tape. Both can be found at Home Depot.

Rakonheli tail motor mount + custom cage
I use the RKH tail motor mount (for the mCPx) and a solid boom. The solid boom is 2mm, and is a direct fit. This is what I do:
1) Splinter the original hollow shaft, so that you can get the wire and connector out WITHOUT de/re-soldering (the connector goes through the motor mount btw) 2) Cut a solid 2mm rod to the right length with a Dremel and cutting disk, lightly round at the edges to prevent splintering, make flat fields at each end (facing down). Make the flat field a little at the time, and check for fit, especially at the frame end. It should be tight, but you should also be able to push the rod all the way in (not into the servo :-) 3) Put on the RKH tail motor mount 4) Cut the cage from the original plastic mount with a Dremel and cutting disk 5) Fasten the cage with a dab of hot glue or silicone 6) Wrap the wire around the boom, then around the rear upper canopy pin 7) Connect and put on a dab of glue, silicone or Shoe Goo The cage protects the rear bell of the motor. Without it you can easily knock off the rear and damage it. Also VERY hard to put back on with those tiny brushes. The RKH mount keeps the motor securely in place. I find the plastic mount tends to come loose all the time from the boom. Here's some pics: It's bullet proof now! And if I need to replace the motor it's very fast & easy to do!

Canopy pin and landing gear repair
Now, this adds some weight - but not all that bad. Also good if you are in need of a repair while waiting for a new frame.
Simply add a dab of hot glue where broken. It sticks very well to both the frame and LG (CA glue does not!)

Hi
What kind of hot glue is that? Never saw a blue coloured one. I am assuming it is glue stick dispensed with glue gun? |

My best advise for the nano is. Let her cool down between flights. It seems to increase the longevity of the main motor. I put my lip on the tail motor after a flight and I won't spool up again until its been cold for 4 to 5 min. Motor is still going strong at 60 plus flights.

Nice. I used check the main motor on my honeybee with my lip in the winter. Only when no one was around though.

Canopy "impact coating"
1) Put the canopy on a "pedestal" 2) Spray on two good coats of clear PlastiDip (let dry between coats) 3) Fly Does indeed save the canopy very very well! And not much weight added. But keep in mind you get a matte look (not shiny). Holds up better than tape on the inside and it's lighter too.

Flexible canopy pins
These do snap off after a while. This is an attempt to avoid this. You cut the 3 long ones in 1/2, then shrink wrap back together. The intention is to make the shrink wrap break, in stead of the pins breaking near the frame (=hard to repair). Especially if you have an Astroid modded frame you don't wanna replace the whole frame any time soon. Does seem to work well!

really smart, i'll try, but I am sure this is the way: if you cannot make them to resist, much better having the flexible! I will try also with silicone pipe for nitro helis: let you know many thanks!! |

Happy to be of help! We're all in the same boat!
A bit unsure as to the 4th pin, where the anti-rotation bracket sits. Do these break too (on the mCPx and Nano)? I don't recall myself... I find it's a wee bit short to cut and shrinkwrap togheter again, might just fall off all the time. But with a (later) rear mounted anti rotation bracket one could cut away the std. one and get a "normal" long pin, and do the same trick... I'm sure Dylan will make a "cage" for the Nano as he did with the mCPx, would work great too!
