My BCP needs to be "hospitalized" ....

Casualty report:
1.) Rotor blade gone
2.) flybar bend but now I bend it straight again ... so hopefully can use again
3.) Tail boom bend, gone.
4.) Main gear, big one gone.
5.) horizontal tail blade set broken, but I use glue to stick the plastic back.

Hopefully there won't be more when I replace the the parts later .....

Yalah, so gatal when I charged up the LiPo .... then thought that just simply spin the blade and lift up a bit loh, then suddenly dun know why (maybe I hit something) the blades broken apart and caused all these damages. You did tell me before lah, but the temptation is irresistable When a beautiful naked girl sleep beside you, what you think you would do? wahahahhaha

Hehehe, crash and repair are normal but this round I think I have to pay for around RM100 just for this gatal .....
So I am pretty agree with you that heli is more expensive to C&R.

To check the main shaft got bengkok or not?

If that's the case I think I will take the main shaft out and check.
I have an idea of rolling the shaft on a flat surface, by doing that the you will know it is bend or not, good idea ar???

Yes, you will see some shadowing effect if the shaft is bend. But is that true with a good shaft you won't see the shadowing at all?

No sim at this moment mah ... and too itchy until I cant behave ..... hehhehe ... nvm ... usually first time is a bit painful lah .....
Now I learnt to control myself first

Added on March 14, 2010, 9:10 amThere's no sign of bend of my main shaft ......... dismantle those part and manage to take the shaft out ..... it looks pretty straight with eye inspection lah.

Probably i think it is survive because the blade is the wooden one

Ohhh, direct linkage to those 3 servo for better cyclic response?

Found a few videos and I can see that their swashplate movement is better with the mod .... heheh, slowly slowly and maybe do this later when I can hover

Yes, although the main shaft is not very expensive but at least it is save some $$$ for me ..... estimated that this round I need to spend RM60.00 to replace blade (still wooden, don't want CF first), tail boom and main gear. Now worry already because not yet able to lift up 60 bucks gone ....

Tail boom can bend it back to straight but with 2 shallow dents, so i guess just keep it as spare part although it looks usable.

Fortunately the BCP spare part is not hard to get locally. But don't know why, some of the parts are out of stock for a month plus, when I called and ask the shop worker they all also don't know when the stock will arrive. Curious to know if it is because of the chinese new year holiday in China .....

But for 4G6 parts I think have to go for OHS already.

Ohhhhh, megastation has a lot of BCP parts? Then I shall call them up. I did not call them because I cant find anything about the BCP so I thought they don't have that.
Hehe, hobbysportz will be my last choice because if you compare with others ah, you will find out that you should go for other shops first .....

not yet .... still looking for the parts from various LHS. Called megastation yesterday but no one pick up the call, email also not replied yet at the moment.

found a "ahem" sim+cable package so hopefully that can use with the Tx ...... did you use your sim with Esky Tx before?

hehehhe, my progress is a bit slow cos I am old already ....... maybe 2 months later i still cannot hover my BCPV2

Just the BCPV2 already make me going to bankrupt .... Not sure what's the price for Align parts so not dare to touch the branded thing first. Wait until I master this hobby then only consider that loh, I was making the wrong decision because in the beginning I was thinking of getting Trex 250 or 450. Only after i crashed my BCPV2 then I realize the cost of repair not cheap also. But still ok lah, I manage to find most of the BCPV2 parts from LHS and order a lot for this shot. It should be able to repair a few crashes without ordering new parts.

Added on March 16, 2010, 8:39 pmHehehe, BCPV2 consider quite affordable for entry level people. Did you crash your BCPV2 before ar? Where do you order/purchase spare parts?

When my BCPV2 arrived, it comes with mode 1 Tx so I mod the Tx to mode 2 ........

If you just replace the parts I think you don't need special tools, find some videos on youtube related to this BCPV2 and it will give a lot of information including taking the parts away and some setup tips ....... I have successfully dismantling the parts and now waiting for parts arrival to restore back ... it is easy and simple. I am now learning to setup and tune the heli .....

Added on March 16, 2010, 10:44 pmhehehe, you are experience so I know you are giving out your heart
hmmm ... as I said, I am now learning to setup the heli based on what is advised by nuttcaze, hopefully this will get my BCPV2 more stable. Just measure the length of my flybar at both side, guess what ...... they are not equally the same length
now still don't know I will in this hobby long run or not lah, still new and probably would give up 2 months later ........ my plan is to wait until I am good to do invert hovering, then only I will consider Align or other better heli/radio

Of course lah, you are a bit 'cheong hei' and already said this "whack sim kow kow' many times .....

Errr, can you do inverted hovering now? Can tell ar?

Forget to ask. Dan137, how much it cost to repair your BCPV2 each time?

This post has been edited by daddoo: Mar 16 2010, 11:46 PM

wow, almost the price of a half BCPV2 already ...... hehehe do you scare to fly your heli now? Or $$$ is not an issue to you ..

Here's a link to some crashed heli photos, enjoy !!!

How did you fly your 450Pro? Got hardcore 3D or not?
heheheh, I have not lifted up the heli already lost RM60.

actually when you setting up your 450Pro, do you need to purchase screws and nuts yourself? Or included in the package?

hehehehe, did you do all the setup like swash levelling, blade tracking yourself ar?

did you guys buy the tools like pitch gauge or swash leveler or blade balancer?

This post has been edited by daddoo: Mar 18 2010, 05:52 PM

Is that really important to do blade balancing?

Hehehe, I just ordered a cheapo pitch gauge which is around RM40 i think. I did not order swashplate leveler because I found that it can be done using a zip tie, should be better than visual inspection I think ....

Swashplate levelling is just to make sure that 3 points (for 120 degree one) of the swashplate are always level when you just move the throttle stick, right?

Hmmmm, it looks like blade balancing quite important as well .......

Locktite can use on plastic parts or not??
