Just one 5000ma battery, RX and CGY750 in the back.

nismo200sx16 · 09-13-2011, 09:13 PM

my second g20 is on the way and I think I am going to run the wires under like you did. but I am putting my rx pack in the rear tray. I dont want to have to pull the canopy off to remove the pack for charging. rx its self is going up front.

Very nice! Thx for the pics! Ok, probably a dumb question, but you are running your ignition and radio off the same battery? I was under the impression that was not recommended. Are you doing any thing special to keep the ignition from interfering with the radio? Are you running spektrum?

Eppler · 09-13-2011, 09:23 PM

I have a deans conector by the switches so I don't have to take off canopy to charge and yes I run both off one battery. 8FG and CGY750

very nice build i hope i brings you many great flights....have you flowen it yet?..i want to know how many flights you get out of a charge....i run 2 batteries and get 3 flights out of a single charge...about 45min

nismo200sx16 · 09-15-2011, 09:22 PM

does any one know whats up with those frame braces on the new g20 kits. the ones pictured their on Eppler's heli. I just got my second g20 kit the other day and it came with them. do they make a difference if they are their. I like the look with out them.

They are there to add rigidity against the frame twisting while rolling and such. I personally do not use them on my G20 or G30s.

I have heard that some people are adding an extra X brace in the upper part of their frame between the canopy mounts. Are you doing that instead?

James Kovach · 09-16-2011, 04:43 PM

Yes I added a cross frame support between the canopy supports.

Those frame braces also insure that the motor/clutch that are in the lower frame, will not move (including vibrations) differnetly then the bell in the upper frame. This ensures they will always be tied together in a more rigid manner which will increase the lifespan of the clutch, clutch bell and all supporting bearings and bearing seats.

This was first used on the great (exensive) FAI/F3C helis many years ago.

I think this added rigidity is more important on the G-10 framed helis then on the more expensive C/F framed models.

Brian18 · 09-17-2011, 05:05 AM

Do you get these supports from the market or do you construct them.

I picture a bearing type x-over support vertically mounted is that how it goes?

Thanks

Brian

here is my favorite heli after new paint

ngin · 09-20-2011, 11:28 PM

Nicely done diesel! What paints did you use?

deisel · 09-21-2011, 04:41 PM

thanks ngin i just sprayed the stock canopy with fusion yellow and put my stickers back on the white was hard to see with cloud cover. i also cut up the stickers to my likeing

MotorRotor · 09-21-2011, 06:02 PM

Is that the plastic canopy or the white F/G one?

deisel · 09-22-2011, 06:02 PM

it is the stock f/g one

helimanny · 09-23-2011, 07:56 PM

simple and clean that always works....nice job

nismo200sx16 · 09-24-2011, 09:15 PM

my 2nd radikal is now built. I now have a fly bar one. if the weather is nice I will get it out for its first flight tomorrow. this was more of a budget build. stock muffler no air filter and century wooden blades.

strat1960s · 09-25-2011, 08:24 AM

As you can probably tell from my other post, I've got something going on that I fried two of my cyclic servos. I decided to pull the wiring apart and look for damaged wires or anything that would indicate a problem. After I did that I decidied to try cleaning up my wiring. I'm happy with how it looks except for the lower rear tray where everything goes into the RX. It's better, but not great.

helimanny · 09-25-2011, 02:13 PM

awsome nismo...nice fleet...i also have a 20 and a 30 and am thinking of getting another 30...gassers rule
