"even if u just buy the KIT and put in your own electronics it would be about the same but u get to choose what components u like la of coz .. hehehehe"

really ea? so any reccomendations regarding the electronics?

radio, tomorrow i'll tell you.

anyway i jsut figured out that if i want to do inverted i just flip it and throttle down, it flies up, if i throttle up, it flies down..i done it with my esky sim tx... is that the right way????

That's the right way lah, inverted fly is just changing your pitch only, by changing the tilt of the blade, but they are still spinning in the same direction.
Usually there is a switch on the radio for real heli and it is called "idle up" ....
Not sure about your ESky Tx but mine has a switch like that .....
Anyway, I know the theory only, practical still incapable .....

hxt900/towerpro servos x 3 for cyclic .. apprx rm15 each
hxt500/towerpro servo x 1 for rudder .. apprx rm15
motor turnigy 3200kv .. apprx rm70
ESC towerpro 40a ... rm50
gyro .. i have one (brand new) that is more than good enuff for hovering and FF .. rm50 for u (but i would advise u to look for 2nd hand better gyros coz this is the most important component in your heli stability)

TOTAL .. rm230 not including postage
the above servos are good for hovering and FF ... not 3D

yes .. that flying mode is called IDLE UP .. fixed or preprogrammed rotor/head speed ... u only change the pitch with the throttle stick

u will need 3S batteries 2200mah (for hovering practice and abit if FF just get 20-25C batt ok liau)

wah, thanks i'll look for this page when i about to buy.

my megastation have em right?

mymega have the ESC and motor (i have the motor and can get the ESC for u if u need) or i have another motor which is very good oso (together with pinion) for rm70
the servos they selling are turnigy which i do not recommend coz i have had a lot of failures with those turnigy TG9 servos (until now i still have 2 TG9 NEW servos which i do not dare to use but can sell them to u for rm10 each if u want .. hahahahahaa)
but i do have some hxt900 servos if u need ... hehehehe

orite thanks, will inform.

cant wait to get my first pay which is sadly in june!

start working may 3rd liao, so less time online.

Added on April 30, 2010, 10:12 amregarding the inverted flying, but i dont change anything on my Tx leh? Haha...

i just fly it up then i use elevator or roll to flip it sideways, then i cepat cepat throttle down, it will fly up, if i throttle up it will go down...

no pressing any buttons etc etc..

Mymegastation still shows Back Order for Esky Lama for months

hi slapshock,

Just to tell u that when flying in 3d, it all about rhythm and timing.

walaneh .. got SIFOO come liau ... hehehehe
yes .. TIMING is very important
but 1st learn to hover laa ...

Same here, now can only do my tail-in hover a bit .... nose-in side-in all tak boleh ......
No choice, only got time to play during weekend ..... hehehehehhe cant wait for tomorrow already

Hopefully tomorrow I can get my 4G6 servo else I will be nervous again to hover my BCPV2 .... hehheheheh only thumb stiffness so far, there is no palm sweating or knee shaking ....

ok lor.. this things take time. if now you fly without knee shaking.. bestt woo... me still shaky abit lor... same as my fingers...

Errr ... I thought you already mastered the hovering in all direction?
Cannot be shaky already, right?

no lah not thinking about 3d yet la, i want hover already.

anyway

anyway..

i just got FUTABA 6EX 2.4Ghz w/o Receiver for SGD150

The reason i got the futaba is because the one selling dx6i dont have box everything, use 1 year...while the futaba still got 6months warranty though its mode 2 now, i need to change to mode 1.

nvm la the subtrim and timer, hhaha.

i like futaba looks more, dx6i macam toys like that...

anyway yeah, futaba 6ex

Yeah ... congratulation to you for your first Tx ....
Now we got one more heli kaki to join us here already.

zhnme is already 3D expert la .. i have seen him fly so many times in real life .. huahahahahahaaa
hovering upright or invert in all orientations oso no probe for him liau

Then he must be bluffing to a newbie like me
How come a 3D expert can still knee shaking one ...... no no no ......

suddenly my lama cant fly up anymore....hmmm....

Hahahaha, your lama sense your new heli is coming so she is jealous now

haha..long way lah, waiting my pay this june...

anyway i just read the futaba manual, wtf man... gyro mixing yada yada... arghhh....

Qiw, do you still remember usually how many days for the order from chinesejade to reach you?

The last one was 5 days but this time it takes longer as today is the fifth day already ......
