Re: So I want to get a helicopter....

Well the heli went for a build test.
The flybar was off by a few mm which has been filxed.

All the controlls were back to front ;-) so reversed them all on the
tx and all was good until we got to the throttle. There wasnt an
extender bar to bring the bar out past the muffler, so it was fouling
on the muffler and not shutting off fully. no test flight today.

looking around my spare room quickly becomming my workshop, I found a
blanking pannel from the back of a pc which got drilled, sawed and
bent and now works pretty well as a extension to the throttle
control.

Now, the new extension works quite well, doesnt foul on anything, but,
is there a defined length this thing should be oras im guessing, as
long as it works as supposed to, its fine ?

Hope fully it will go for its first flight on this comming sunday,
then I have a field i can practice in, when ever i want ... 104 miles
away :-(

all good fun eh :-)
