which vid is this?

do...do... doo doo doo doo doo

hehe love the imitations bob

[siavreg]

Is there a set for governors here?
if not maybe we could get a couple?
Just a thought, maybe i've over looked it.

I think the "Castle Pheonix 85HV setup videos" (link in first post of this thread) covers setting up the governor. It is fairly specific to the 1.X version of the CC Phoenix range of ESCs but some of the concepts may be more generally applicable.

Great job. I was watching the blade tracking video last night and it just so happened that I put on a new set of blades on my Falcon 3-D and the tracking was horribly off. I remembered the instructions in the video and within 15 (first time)minutes got the tracking perfect

Can someone do a JR 9303 Tutorial? Thanks CS

I noticed tonight that one of the servo's(JR DS285) on my TRex was clicking around mid-position and decided to replace the gears per Bob's video - was fairly simple except for the fact that when powering up the servo it now rotates back and forth between it's max movement without any input from the radio.

Did I do something wrong in the gear replacement? Would appreciate any input/advice...

Bob, your videos are fantastics. I have learned so much and still learning more from them. I do have one request. Would it be possible for you to have a video on JR Radios setup? I have the JR12X but JR9X will do fine. I think the menues are very simular. Appreciate very much. Thanks....

I think he used a 9303 in his Trex 700 videos.

And Jermo's DX7 will also help. JR radios program pretty much the same from radio to radio.

[pitman8]

Did I miss something or did he make a mistake on how to adjust the longer arm? I think he said it correct the first time but wrong the second time.....or it just me????????????? could be? But the info on his site are GREAT, thanks

Excellant work on the vids. They are an immense help for us newbies. Would you consider doing a heli setup on the New Futaba 10C radio. Again some great work and it is appreciated very very much.

BTW the new 10C is great. I am going 2.4 on all my new heli's that way only one radio, just set up different models for each heli.

Hey! Great vids!

Is there any plan of making one for the JR G770 3d gyro (and 3500G sevo) preferably on the t-rex 500 and the Dx7 (guess what I'm buying )

[v8torrie]

Awesome work!

It is great that a community exists that has the want to help newcomers!

can anyone tell me where i can get the linkage lengths for a blade 400 thanks. i have watch alot of the video's and are very helpfull, im a newb and cant find these lengths any help is great thanks

[Schelli]

i think there are not many blade 400 ppl here and also the linkage length, if you mean the length of the links between swash and mixer arms and servos and blade grips and so on ... are no fixed values. you have to set up according to your system.

if you have any questions regarding the blade 400, this is a link from a friend who has a blade 400. this should pretty much cover all your questions.

Acutally, there are quite a few B400 folk....you just have to post this in the B400 forums under the Eflite forums...

Very nice. Just a question on the brilliant Finless vids that i have studied as i've built my 450se. On the gyro 401 vid at around the 9min mark the wise one talks about flying tips and how to set up in first hover which covers trimming and gyro gain on the 401 but have not been able to find any kind of vid or info? Help! And yes i'm another noob.doh!
