Rm500's steep. A few updates on my v911. Board out of stock, so i went on to buy a new heli. As in heli only. without the batts and the charger and the TX. Cost my pocket Rm70.


Any other 90deg flybars to reccomend besides the HBFPv2?

I really like the v2, but looking at the availability of parts, i'm really concerned.

zero: the v120d01 is around RM550 -.-" and the size if not mistaken is slightly bigger than v911? not sure if its the same as v4 lama... any shop selling the cb180z for a fair price that youve known of? thanx...

TAG: RM70 you get 4 channel or 3 channel wan? as for parts if youre staying in KL , i dont think its going to be hard to find .. so many hobby shops around.. for a flyer like me in Melaka.. maybe abit hard lor.. =\

4 channel v911 la. Just the heli only.

Still a lot of people recommending the HBFPv2. hmm.gif

v911 pilots, just a question. Does your canopy vibrate like mad when you're flying?

yes it does, but sometimes it vibrate, sometimes it doesnt...

Correction on my part, the whole frame vibrates. Even my skids. doh.gif

Not idea how to fix it tho. I've tried leveling the swash plate. Balancing the rotor blades with tape but cannot seem to find the sweet spot. Dunno how to set. Any tips?

I'll just stick to 4 channel for now. Wait and be content with my v911 while waiting for new 4 channel models to come out. sad.gif

Just now I went to Jalan Raja Laut, the shop which has the Esky banner. Went in there, drooling at the Walkera's. Din't have much time to look around tho, colleague's being an arse. So was quite rush. I also saw the Esky Training kit for Rm390. I think got 3 heli inside. Is that a good buy ah? drool.gif

Yeap. This is the one. Really not a lot of choice for 90deg FP 4 channels nowadays. They have tonnes of walkera. But prices start at Rm400+. And those people there is too busy to answer any of your questions. Especially for a noob like me. tongue.gif doh.gif

Any friendly hobby shop that i can walk into with good price?

EDIT: 400+ not 200+

the BHS is cool if you want to save money in the beginning. but you get what you pay for:
1. a coax that's similar to the lama v4. not bad to start with.
2. honey bee . not the v2, still it's quite ok. a little more fragile than the v2 though.
3. HBCP.  like all CP with a tail motor, this won't really be that good in 3D flight.

it's on of those things that can grow with you, if you're on a budget.

Thanks for the input. After all, i think i'm going to get a 2nd hand Walkera Flybarless or HBFPv2 because they seem like the best choice at the moment.

PS: i found source for the cylindrical crystal for the V911. Ordered a few pieces. See if it works. biggrin.gif

body really sturdy. Now i just need to find a way to buff up the electronics. The electronics are ok. just the location of the cylindrical crystal. When the thing arrives if it works, maybe i'm gonna connect it to wires and move it further up on the PCB. hmm.gif

Nope. The receiver crystal.

whut up with v911 anyway?I got so interested and now everyone is talking bout it being fried or something shocking.gif

The crystal is very sensitive. Breaks when you crash the thing. biggrin.gif

EDIT: i guess i won't be shelving it anytime soon. Who says whenever the seller says "IC board Rosak" its gonna cost Rm50?

I've found the cure to the red light of death! Just need a few electrical items, soldering skills, and the part only costs Rm2. thumbup.gif

Well the vibration kills it too. I've found the source of the vibration. Now i'm getting washers to fix it as well.

Crashing...Hmm...I fly a lot in my room & office, so bump into stuff a lot. tongue.gif

better get use to it. the further you progress, the more money it'll cost for every crash.  sweat.gif

crashing a 100 size FP is causes no real dmg compared to crashing a bigger heli. the cost just multiplies if it's a CP.  blink.gif
*
Well people don't play a 450 size cp in the room or in thin their office no?

No offence but who spends 50 bucks repairing something that cost 100 bucks? Especially when the damaged components only cost a fraction of the price.

I fitted a different crystal on the board. One of the better ones and I'm trying to pad it with hot glue. So I'm crashing it intentionally a lot now to test the durability of it. Next step is a motor cooling solution and larger battery capacity. laugh.gif


The thing I like with the v911 is that its like a zombie. You crash it a million times, things break and you make improvements to the durability. A lot of fun to me reviving this little bugger.

It was me who said the IC board wil cost around RM50.. its quoted by my local store.. around RM40-50 include they pasang for u.

I changed my tail motor once, they didnt give me Align tail motor, but instead a WL or Wing toys tail motor replacement.. cost RM25. -..-"

I think i had that red light of death too.. it kept blinking and like stop recieving signals from time to time...

How did u manage to fix that? Thanks!


Added on June 10, 2012, 12:29 pm

its really good for beginners, price wise and also the fly-ability.. moves quick and response is good, its durable in a way, but if u land at the wrong spot.. it will cost repairs.. because as u know the tail motor is quite vulnerable to crashes.. and heavy 'shock' during crash might also cause some connection at the PCB become loose.. so its very depending on the flyer and the seriousness of the crash.. otherwise the 911 is really a sweet flying machine indoor!

Me also. My hobby guy offered to fix my red light of death for Rm50. Change IC board.

Tail motor only costs US$3.99.

I'll post some photos.

As to how i fixed the IC board, i changed the crystal. Here are some photos.

Want 2 biji only go through so much trouble and stuck with so much stock. Might as well buy ready stock. Ceeeehhhh I thought got ready stock and can buy 2 pcs. If bulk price local supplier I know is cheaper than 13 also. But bulk la.

If Hong Kong can get the 150mah already. Only about us10 for 2pcs.
