such a small thing put belit drive ... the belt sure kow kow maintenance one
it will be like a little rubber band .. imagine how easily those snap
i am happy with my STOCK 4G6S liauuu ... can do whatever i want to do already .. hehehehe

I am quite happy with my 4G6 too, it is very fun to fly but of course I think the hardcore 3D flying is very hard to do with the everything stock. The only annoying thing with the torque tube version is the weak bevel gear inside as it is strip easily in a crash. Waiting for V120D02 to drop in price then later on I can fly a small FBL ....

The newest belt driven V120 is very expensive now .... about USD350 for RTF with 2801 Pro Tx ......

Hehehehehe, now I can fly in all direction with my 4G6 but not reverse flying yet. Have you start to invert ar?

i dont fly my heli very much ... mostly fly planes
but i will try to invert ASAP laa ... just out of curiousity
but prefer not to do it over concrete or cement ground ... just in case .. hahahahahaaaa

plane very relaxing.

My 4G6 I think is quite hard to invert now even though if I am capable.
Motor is easy to bog and I think I need to replace ........ more than 200 flights till now since February this year.

possibly too much pitch .. BCP or 4G6 +10/-10 enuff already

plane is very relaxing if u fly the glider ... can even put the radio down on the ground .. hahahahaha
try flying warbirds like mustang spitfire etc ... it will start to become a challenge

Yeah, but i cant afford nitto planes. Precision planes do get me interest too..coz im amazed with prop hang hahaha

I have increased the head speed (throttle curve) as much as possible and now my pitch is about +/- 8 for 4G6.

Battery also plays an important role here i think, because for the first minute it won't bog too much ...... so if I want to do invert that will be my best time ... hehehehe

warbirds need not be NITRO or GASSER ... it can be electric
all my planes are electric .. bought 1 GP unit to convert to EP too
conversion will be done myself of coz

batts are very important .. if not power then just leisure flying no hardcore stuff

What thread lock you guys use? im thinking to upgrade the lama v4 myself but after further research, i found that i need a thread lock.

So where can i get it? If cant found on shop i'll get it online.

Come share which brand is good

u can get threadlock at local hardware store or hobby shop
i am using this one ... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=10959
just nice ... not too tight to take out but strong enuff to hold my screws

With that TL you don't need special handling to unscrew?
Hehehe, nv used TL before .........

Building my augusta a109.

Cloudfly is fun to fly invert

If i dont use Thread Lock, anything will happen?

if no threadlock then it will not lock only laaa .. thats all

So if we did not lock the thread/nut in those 3D performance heli, what will happen?

=======> a crash?

vibrations from motor/engine etc will cause nuts/bolts to loosen
so just imagine if your nut/bolt loosen or comes off during flight what happens laa ... thats all

if u locktite it then almost no chance for them to loose ..

maybe try to invert the 4G6S today .. took it to work with me
may attempt indoors (inside company store) .. hehehehe

Glad to hear that, remember to share your story later on ... interested to listen before I invert mine

Any hobby shop like rcsmart, ntc hobby, boon chung open on saturday ar? heheheh, going to kl this saturday so may consider to go and have a look ... all the while I was just order online only ....

the shops u listed are open on saturdays ..

just went fly in the store ... hehehe
1st batt .. F8 and FF around .. good
2nd batt .. hover pitch pump ... reset gyro gain
then FF going into invert ... FF too fast ... heli went too far .. flew it back towards me inverted ... then dunno why got this pillar beside me go crash into the heli ... hahahahahahaaa
3rd batt ... keep back in car .. huahahaha

conclusion ... my dual rates / EXTENT for cyclic is too high and travel for tail servo not enuff .. and oso fly too far and fast for a small little heli
damage .. ROTOR HEAD bent + blades gone + feathering shaft + possible minor main gear damage
main shaft hard to tell whether damaged or not coz rotor head is slightly wobble already but it looks quite good/not bent (i already previously replaced the 4g6 shaft with 4g3 ones coz i heard it was harder and stronger but about 1mm+ short)
the bevel gears oso looks and feels ok ... i turn and held the tail in hand .. does not feel like any of the shaft gears stripped

so this will be my 1st heli crash since a long long time .. hahahaha
dunno if i have spare rotor head at home .. the rest of the stuff i have laa
will prolly change to plastic rotor head
have to cut down my EXT/dual rates coz heli too damm fast when inverted

Added on December 22, 2010, 2:53 pmps ... it will be hard to do setting changes with the WK 2602 radio i am using now .. trial and error case for next flight
have to do some ordering of parts from chinesejade ... after i go back and give the heli a thorough check of whats damaged

Oppsss, sorry to hear that. heheheh, have to crash ur heli to share with me ur story ......

it looks like this little heli is not easy to invert ......
anyway I have a lot of repairing experience to share with u ... for example if after repair you found your tail wagging then may be the bevel gear needs to replace ..... main shaft usually I will just straighten ...... rotor head also can bent back if not seriously twisted ....

Added on December 22, 2010, 2:58 pmYou may try to get the parts from myrcmart in HK too, cheaper most of the time excluding shipping lah .....

I found oomodel also quite reasonable but so far I have not bought anything from them yet .....
