If that's the case, then locktite is not suitable to me at the moment, because most of the BCPV2 parts are plastic.

I remember the manual mention something like "screw glue" but not sure where to get this ........

Just got my cheapo pitch gauge, it's made by plastic but still selling at around RM40, with RM10 more can get Align pitch gauge already ...... dammmmmm .....

hehehehe, I also got my spare parts today, can repair the heli and start simulation already cos cable also coming together with the order .... hopefully the cable can use lah .......

Now whacking the sim, dammmmmmm ... crashing everywhere ...... I should have tried this before touching the real heli ....

After an hour of whacking the sim, I started to repair my BCPV2. The first thing was to replace the tail boom and main gear, then tested the main shaft, looks good

so tire .... have to stop ... still a lot of works to be completed ....

Those who own a BCPV2, it is recommended to know "nuttcaze" .......

You did tell me lah, heheheh somemore I said you are a bit "cheong hei"

But the heli in the sim is quite hard to tame ..... i feel boring with the sim already .... or maybe it is FOC for every crash so I don't appreciate it ......

Aiya, my ESky Tx can work on Reflex but cant be detected in RealFlight 4.5, any idea ar? Is that because of vista?

Errrmmm, that one "ahem" already. My Tx should be the CCPM type one. Anyway, when I plug in that I should see something in "Game Controller" but I see none. My sim cable not the Esky one, my cable has a female audio jack connector and combine with another cable with male audio jack connector then go to PC's USB port

Huh, like that ah ...... no wonder. There is no switch at all ....... but reflex sim ok ar?

Nice link ... TQ
The model in the original one is too little ....

that's for sure because rc heli is quite a tempted hobby ....
most people thought that it is fun until they crashed their own heli ... whahahahahah

Ehhhhhh, mengsuan's friends ....
But this is the nature of human so you can't avoid and you just can think of a way to escape ....

yippie, I manage to keep T-Rex 450 (sim one lah ) in the air now without crashing, but still once in a while it will go from left to right, then right to left again ... flying around .... don't know if this could help to lift my real heli up or not ......

Did some swashplate levelling this noon and found BCPV2 swashplate will level only when neutral hov.pit and throttle stick at lowest, or most negative hov.pit and middle throttle stick. The rest the swashplate will lean forward or backward.

But weird lah, din change anything and don't know why like this. Is there a way to correct this servo problem ar?

I can keep it in the air as long as I can now. Hopefully I can hover my real one ..... and MAYBE I can

Added on March 21, 2010, 9:19 pmHmmm, it is only leaning forward and backward for my case when I move the throttle stick up and down.
If I can only use my Esky Tx, would it be dangerous to hover my BCPV2 with this problem?

I have tried the Hover Training and no problem to control now .... can hover as long as I can ......


Just remember something from the manual, there are some graphs there
For Normal mode, when 0% throttle -> 0 degree pitch curve. 100% throttle -> 7 degree pitch curve.
For Idle up, when 0% throttle -> -7 degree pitch curve. 50% then 0 degree and 100% then 7 degree.

don't know yet whether it can be fixed with all the stock parts ...... maybe whack more sim first and try lifting up the heli next weekend .....

If I remember correctly, the -ve pitch in normal mode can be done also, just rotate the hov.pit pot and I can go to -ve pitch when moving throttle stick.

It looks like BCP is something different already where yours heli will just move the swashplate up and down (levelled at the time) when you move throttle up and down ......

I think the stock Tx would not allow you to set the pitch. As what I can read from the manual, it is already pre-programmed with 0% @ 0, 100% @ +7 for normal mode.

Another fallback for getting the cheapo heli

Ohhhhh, came across my mind suddenly. I cannot do something on the stock Tx but I can adjust the linkage .......

Yeap, that is what I always think. This is quite a reasonable entry level CP heli for newbie like me .........

Honestly, I get to know a lot of stuffs from this BCPV2 .......

Hehehehe, actually planned already. If nothing goes wrong, I will go and get the 4G6 with WK-2801 Pro Tx one.

After that will take months to save $$$$ again before next heli lah, now pk already.

Aiyaya, now only I know what went wrong with my swashplate lah. I am so idiot that interchange the ail & pitch connection at the receiver. Now switched back and the swashplate is levelled regardless of where the throttle position ..... !@)#*~!@($!@#(%$@)$%(

I guess my first crash was due to that as I was moving the throttle stick upward (which it was actually moving the elevator with more motor spin) then suddenly the ball link came out and causes the blade to hit the tail boom.

I guess lah. With the wrong pitch and ail connections, the swashplate is actually lean forward as long as the throttle stick is pushing up, when the headspeed increase to a certain level, maybe this ball link plug being pushed out by the swashplate rotation force ...... maybe ..... else I can't explain why it crashes last time because I did not see that the blade hit something.


Finally, now the swashplate is levelling better when I move the throttle stick. Gonna whack the sim now and hopefully I can get my baby in the air this weekend.

Just done with some training in sim, hehehehh ... now learning to do inverted hovering .... can control quite ok so sifu-sifu, i should be able to hover my real heli better, right? But I really scare to crash the heli although I just want to do a normal hovering

There is a guy on youtube hover his BCPV2 in living room but the area is very small only.

And my last crash I tried to lift my BCPV2 in sleeping room ......

I think my toilet is small and impossible to hover inside, 450 size heli will create tornado there

Last time my hand too itchy lah and little daughter was in the living room so choosen to try in sleeping room ... wahahahhahaha ... although it is an empty room but now I know I should not do this again

To add up what you have said,
Check the settings on the ESky Tx as well before turning on, most important are idle up switch, throttle stick and throttle trim. These will accidentally turn the heli to spin up as well if not in the correct position.
