Is Nitro Addictive?

[Barry Tilson]

Tail has been fitted, seems to balance well with the OptiPower 3s 3650. Getting close!

Flex Reg Trio huh... I guess that's a cool one. Let you use a 3S lipo input so you can get consistent voltage to the servos going out.  Nice.

Seems to work nice. It's a little long making it hard to find a location.  Combo on off switch and glow driver works great.

I know how u feel Barry. I've just bought myself an N7 after flying electrics for the past cple of years. It's gana b good not have to spend all that time charging.
 I only have the frame so far but I'm looking at goin the os105 although I really like the 91 speed red top.

I think I'll b coming to this thread a bit for help on what parts I'm going to need.

I have learned a bunch here!

I'm stalled out, life is busy again! Next step is setting up the throttle channel with the governor, trim and cut off on the 14sg. Any good threads in this?

Need to figure out cut off, is it just a mix off a switch? I know how to do the trim and channel.

Ok found a finless bob videos that put me back in track. Now have the throttle servo rigged and will proceed to setting up flight modes and the Multigov.

Getting closer! Canopy is fitted.
Just need:
Final head rigging, I was holding out to try out the new Soko heli iOS app for leveling the main shaft. Seems to be stuck in approvals at Apple.
Fuel supply line hook up.
Final secure of the exhaust hardware.
Secure some wiring.

Question: I have the thick foam tape that came with the BD3sx. It seems like this may be to loose? You wiggle the unit and the servos interact accordingly. Any experience with using the thinner tape on nitros?

Should be getting close to a maiden when the weather breaks.

[Rodney Kirstine]

I use the 3M 4011. I'm not a fan of the foam tape because of exactly the scenario you're describing.

[Rodney Kirstine]

BTW I just saw on Facebook that the iOS version of the Soko heli toolkit was released today.

[Barry Tilson]

Thanks downloaded it.

Who says you can buck rivets at the kitchen table!
Starter is ready!!!!!!!
Turned the motor over!!!
I need a cigarette! LOL

[Rodney Kirstine]

Nice battery holder!  That battery is freaking huge, too! LOL

[Barry Tilson]

Worn out pack, very high IRs. Should work good for a starter pack.

What oils do we use for engine storage. After run?

[Richard Rollins]

What motor ? YS I don't use anything just make sure carb is cleared out on last flight , OS I use a very little after run oil. I learned this from my airplane motors YS seems to like life dry in the off season from my experience and OS is opposite ( little oil )
