Is Nitro Addictive?

[Barry Tilson]

Making progress, working on dry fitting the electronics. Having trouble deciding where to put the Flex Reg Trio Pro, it's a little long and takes up half of the fwd tray. Still need room for the battery. Looks like the Multigov will tuck in under the FBK controller?

looking good and clean!!!

Multigov install, epoxied the magnets in, one opposite the other, set up the bracket and preformed sensor test.

Setup the cyclic servos center tonight using the Chris Sexton technique of leaving the tail off. Bound the receiver, updated the BD3SX.  Loving my new build table.
Next up need to figure out how to set up the throttle.
How does the engine get shut off? Is it a switch rigged mix to achieve a closed throttle?

I know you are using a Multi Gov, but this video I did on iKON gov setup covers alot of basics that are relevant to all nitro govs.  Things like throttle linkage setup, throttle limits, engine kill, etc.  The method of setup for your system will vary but the basics are still important.

Thanks Chris I will check it out.
Received the rest of my parts just in time for a New Years build day!

Do I need to remove more material from the fan shroud to allow more room for the carburetor to breath?

[Chris Sexton]

Yes you will need to open that up some. The carb is meant to pull air from the fan. kind of a super charger effect.  Most .91 and 1.20 engines offer velocity stacks for the carbs too.

Also when trimming the shroud make sure you trim enough around the head so that the shroud is not touching the head. You need it to be free to move so that you can properly adjust the position. You can leave the fan touching by mistake and not know it.

Thanks,
Yes I did figure out that the fan needs to be able to move where it needs to be without touching the motor.

Fan mounted, shroud fits great after some Dremeling. Defiantly takes a bit more time to put a nitro together.
Still fun just a lot off new things to deal with.

Man you got me all fired up again, pulled my N7 down to bare bones and rebuilt her from the ground up.. Can't wait to burn some nitro now.   Your Build is looking good!! Can't wait for you to get hooked after the first tank, go ahead and plan to get an N5c.  now that's a fun machine when set up correctly..

Yeah, not going to lie the N5c has crossed my mind. I love flying the 700's when I have the room for them. Seem to be flying my E5 most of the time. The NX4 has temped me however I prefer the quality of my Synergy heli's. I have never flown a 600 but heard its a great size. Looking for something new for 2015? A heli hauling trailer might be in order as they wont all fit in my Sportwagon.

Funny story, just finished up loctiting everything and figured out the exhaust flange would clear the fan shroud! Had to back pedal a few steps.

Build is coming along, nice job! Keep the updates coming!!

Cool thing about the N5c, it does have the presence of a 700 in the air. It is a light bird and I honestly goto this machine first... Don't get me wrong, I love my N7 and can't imagine not having it.. Your doing great, big deal about the fan shroud.. Great build Thread...
