Hi Folks
I got myself a N5c kit at the Heliextravaganza 2012 last weekend. I am working doing a build video series for my website/youtube channel. I am a bit slow but hopefully I will soon be posting video's
I have started assembly so far only about 7 or 8 steps in playing camera man and builder is a bit time consuming.
Any way here is whats going into it.
N5c Kit
Torque Tube Upgrade / Conversion coming as soon as its available :)
O.S. 55HZ-R w/Powerboost Pipell Limited Edition Engine w/ Futaba RPM back plate sensor
Align 615 Cyclic's
Align Min Throttle Servo
Align HV Tail Servo
Vbar Silver Line Pro w/2 DSX sat rx's
Push Glow System
Life 6.6v 2000 mah 20c
Rail Main Blades
Rail Tail Blades
ect....
So far I like the quality of the kit and this OS engine should kick buttocks.
I plan on breaking the build video's up into sections then a review video with first flights.
Thanks
Bill

Hi bill,
You have the Futaba rpm sensor, does that work with the vbar? I use the Spektrum backplate sensor on mine :)

CONGRATS ON YOUR BUILD BILL! ;)

Hey
According to Vbar the futaba will work i will let everyone know one way or the other. Surely it will. It might require moving a wire or two but surely it will lets hope it will :)
Thanks
Bill

All sensors work with Vbar. Only the align one do you need to move wires
I am using the Futaba back plate sensor. Plugged right in.
-
Welcome to the Synergy family Bill and enjoy the build, look forward to seeing the video.
Cheers,

Yea that's what I read and was hopping for thanks for re-affirming that...
Thanks

Here's a question.
I got the rail blades for the 96mm ones will that work for the N5c seems like read that but i seen another thread that it might not.
Thanks
Bill
-
The 96mm ones are what I run on mine and they are fine. They hold quite well and make the tail feel solid.

Congrats Bill. and Welcome to Synergy.
I know how you feel. Just finished the N5C last night. Yes the one I tried to work on at Heli Extravaganza.
I do know the head is solid! Right Matt :)

Mikado cannot even confirm that the Futaba sensor will work with the vbar, this has been asked on a lot of other forums and everyone that has tried says that it does not work??
I really want it to work as I think it will be neater than the Spektrum bps.

The 96 are good for the N5c!!! The N5 is the one that can not run the 96mm tail blades it has a smaller tail assy.

Hi All
I am making some headway on building. I hope to have some video out soon. I will be cutting it up in to short segments. Hopefully that will help some folks if they get stuck on a certain step. I do have one problem. I have a bad tail idler pulley / bearing set. I sent Matt a private message. Hopefully I will get one soon. Starting to get excited about flying this thing. I still have a ways to go so I will keep plugging along and just put that new one on when I get it.
Thanks
Bill

Hey Bill,
I'm sure Matt will get in contact with you. Once you're all done you'll be even more excited once you actually fly it. I'll never forget the maiden on mine. I was blown away. Thanks to you also for taking the time and effort to make build videos, that should prove very useful for some in the build process!
Regards,

Pm me your address. I have at least two pulley sets from my TT conversions just sitting here. I'll mail you one.

Your going to love it Bill, easily one of my favorite helis. The motor and pipe combo your running is what I run on mine and it has gobs of power, plus those 2 together just sing.
-
Thanks for the reply I can't wait to get this thing in the air.

HI Guys
I finally got motivated to finish up my N5c this week. Woot!
I went out to maiden it and ran it hovered around for a tank. It seem to be stable and smooth. When I landed I had just a little bit of fuel left in the tank. Which quickly poured all over the place it was coming out of the carb i guess. I assume from all the pressure of the tank. Is that normal? I had YS pressurized system before and it didn't do that. Again I am running the OS .55 HZ-r Limited with powerboost pipe.
Another question. I couldn't get the venturi to fit inside the cooling housing. I think I remember being told it wouldn't fit and it was ok. It seems to run fine with out it but wonder how much if any performance I am missing out on.
Thanks
Bill
-
Fuel pouring out of the carb? No, doesn't sound normal. My 55hzr doesn't do that.
Yeah, some guys have had to slightly mod the fan shroud, but mine fit pretty well without modding for whatever reason.
-
Another issue.
I went out to fly it again today for the 2nd flight and had a hydro lock which managed to strip my starter hex nut adapter. I came back in the shop made the flat spot on the shaft a little bit deeper taped out the screw hole to next size up and got a new set screw and now I can't seem to get it to tighten up and stay tight. So I guess I need to buy another but I wondered if anyone recommended an aftermarket setup that is a bit harder to strip?
Or is it just me. I haven't flown nitro in years and been flying electrics for the past 4 years and all the memory's of frustration with nitro are coming in back now :)... Might be for sale soon just kidding. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10 ok i feel calmer now... just sucks when screw up a couple dollar part and thats it for the weekend because no hobby shops within 60 miles have parts.
Thanks
Bill

What starter? Sullivan Dynatron on 5S with Sullivan wand (the newer, hardened one) is bulletproof.
-
I am using the align stater. The hex adapter on the heli is the problem. I fixed it by drilling and taping one size up. I also ordered the raptor adapter. I seen folks said they would work. 4 flights on it today after the fix.
What size battery packs yall running. I am using a life 2100 buts to long to fit in canopy.
-
I have the original hex adaptor on my N5C and over 200 flights. I believe you are having teething issues because you stepped away for 4 years. It will come back.
This is the best 50 size nitro I have flown or owned. Last year this is the only heli I flew.
-
No doubt on the teething issues :)
It seems to be holding good now. I know the hydro lock is the cause for that issue and a really strong starter :)
I got 5 flights on it today and 2 flights on my T-Rex 700 E and 1 Flight on my Compass 6hv today... Needless to say it was a good day :)
What flight times you all getting on a tank a fuel? I am out in 8 min I know I still way rich I keep dialing it in every flight.
Thanks
Bill
-
I am getting 6+ minutes at 2100 rpm. No header tank and a fuel magnet.
-
About 5:30 at 2150 w/ magnet and no header with a little left in reserve. I've flamed out more ties than I care to admit when trying to push 6:00. I'm probably a tad rich, but she runs really well.
-
I got it dialed in a bit better today. 5 1/2 min is about right. Can you get a bigger tank? I purchased a nitro for some extended flight time compared to my 6hv it is about 1.5 min longer but would like 8 or 9
Its flying great!
Thanks
Bill
