hi Guys,
may need your inputs on this project.
found a good deal on a jetranger(painted) with mechs.
though i already have a pod/boom nx with an extra new kit for parts.
so far i have this;
i. scorpion commander 90amp
ii. scorpion 4025 1100kv motor en route.
will be running this on 5s. i have a few of these for the boat.
i could just gut out my pod/boom for its electronics to cut expenditures.
i'm still thinking of FBL, but i haven't flown a CP FBL.
i been out from heli as i got sidetracked to quads and land rc's.
THANKS.
i will be asking questions along

Heck man if you've got a bird to pull the electronics out of thats what I would do, If you haven't flown for awhile, just use your flybar head for now, if that's the last thing you've flown,,, As far as FBL units I think Spektrums AR7200BX is one of the easiest to work with, doesn't require a programmer or pc to setup or make adjustments

P.S. That's a very nice Scale lots of detail, looked at it several times

I decided to stick with FB head for this project. makes it more slower.
thanks.
now the waiting game.

Some of us Swift flyers are in your area.

Here is a video of yours truly showing the retracts working through touch and goes with my A109/Swift at the Ridge Flyers field which is in your area.

fuse is in the post office, 2 blocks from me.
but I have to sleep first, coming from night shift.

prophead · 02-22-2014, 11:33 AM

so for the servo. what budget servo would do the job?
I'm waiting for the HK servo with decent torque but not sure.
any suggestions?
also, ideal length of tail blades?
THANKS.
