Servo arm spacing
« on: April 14, 2015, 04:39:10 PM »
I picked up a used N5 bare airframe last fall. I am finally getting around to setting it up. I am using a BeastX controller and initially made all the push-pull links so that they run parallel but it seems that is way too much throw for the swash. I don't have a manual so I thought I'd check here to get an idea of how far out on the servo arms should I mount the balls?

Thanks, Matt

If you have a N5 I will be happy to send you a paper copy of the manual.  Feel free to email me hwood3160@yahoo.com and I will be happy to help you get it set up, also have spares for that machine as well. There are a majority of First Gen N5C parts as well as current Generation parts that will fit, Matt did a lot of shaving weight and refining the design when he designed the contender series. N5 is still a great machine, I fly 2 of them still ;) let me know if I can help you. Email me is the quickest way to reach me.

Best Regards,

Kevin

I appreciate the offer Kevin. I'll take you up on the manual offer. I'll send an email shortly.
In the process of setting this up last night, I found both main grip pitch arms are bent. I looked through the parts listing for the N5 but these arms are discontinued. Is it safe to assume the pitch arms for the N5c are interchangeable?
If I am going to have to update the entire head due to lack of parts, I may just put the airframe back up for sale online.
It really ticks me off when guys claim the Heli was flying great and they just pulled their gear to put in a new airframe before selling it. This definitely wasnt a flying Heli! I should have bought new but I really didn't want a torque tube tail and that's why I bought this one with a belt tail.
Live and learn I guess.

Matt. If you want me to look at the Heli for you and help you set it up.  You are only 20 min from my house.

Just set a note and I will send you my number.
