Synergy N5C Flybarless Belt Drive Kit for a first nitro?

[rimaarts]

oh well, lets see how will be my luck with gryphon glow driver... :)i really need an onboard glow driver! every time i manage to get a flight on a heli, i allways forget to take off my (really small) remote glow driver and it discharges...

got another tank on this morning! whole 8 minutes of hovering+3 minutes idle! wow!

still i think engine does not suck fuel enough at the first start (i have to crank and crank and crank (on full throttle priming) to see fuel filling up a fuel filter)
this time needles was at 1.75 turns, and now it REALLY smoked! while hovering all ground was covered in smoke! landed, pinched fuel line and it took around 7 seconds to die. i think im good. cant wait to learn to properly start the engine so i can go to a BIG field to have some fun!

so! i received my gryphon igniter, i was banging my head for 2 days trying to figure out futaba way of connecting it so i can have it on and off via switch! and today i had an eureka moment!

by the way, chris, at least in my case, setting aux2 on channel 8 did nothing...

what worked for me was to set aux2 on channel 7, assign switch, and that did it to switch banks.

and after i set aux1 to channel 8, plugged my gryphon igniter to aux channel to my brain fbl, set endpoints, and that seems to have done it! flip the switch, i get a beep, flip a switch, beep goes off! beep seemed to be strange so i  will be testing it tomorrow a bit more!

woohoo!! first time im doing something else but hover! i allways forget to take governor off! how does it look like? strange thing, is i just cant seem to be getting a loud blade fart! i guess that means rail 606 is very nice and stiff blades, no?

and... another question of mine... how do i tighten pinion-main gear mesh? my mesh is so loose that if i hold the main gear i can move clutch bell forward-backward for around 2mm... or that is a normal mesh?

so... a bit about my progress... i still have not finished my 3 galons trough n5c... finished first galon in a single weekend, than life and weather got in the way, so i couldnt fly for like 6 weeks... after that, i tried flying and kept bogging terribly... i was already thinking of selling it, but last week i noticed filter leaking... sealed filter with jb weld and got my power back! but now i think i have too much vibration... the lower the headspeed, the more my tail seems... unhappy! similar to smacktalk berts video where he demonstrates heli running tooo rich... my tail blades never touched ground (i think) and my mains... well, i had a light blade strike after a mini auto, where blades didnt even got bent in the grips, and another one where heli still landed on its feet... i  just dont want to start swapping the parts just to find out something is wrong with the engine...

I would start by replacing that fuel filter.  If your JB weld repair gives out in flight you could very well ruin the engine with a lean run.
It does not sound like you are convinced the engine is running like it should?  Again replacing that fuel filter would be a good place start. 
Since the last run was 6 weeks ago you may very need to retune the engine for the current temp and conditions.  Did you use after run oil?  Depending on your fuel choice that may be something you want to consider if you are not flying it every week. 
It does sound like you need to spend some time on the engine tuning before you look elsewhere for your tail issue.

Cheers

I will replace that filter! jb weld was just a band aid to see if that was the problem...i think I already had 4 too lean flights on the engine (I still could keep my finger on backplate after heatsoaking, but it was really hot)... I thought to spend a day tomorrow retuning the engine at the field, but I managed to half burn the clutch today (forgot throttle hold once)... So another 2 weeks with no flying I guess...

[rimaarts]

kinda dummy question but still... i dont want to pay nearly 40£ for a full clutch bell assembly so i want to attempt just a clutch liner replacement... which one is a good liner? how about n7 liner?
