Title: Fusuno Airwolf 450 Scale Fuselage with Retracts Build Log - Sweepstakes 2014
Post by: dhruvafreak on March 23, 2014, 01:10:19 PM
The kit is by Fusuno Guys . I Received it a month back . Used the orignal packing to ship other Fuse .
It comes with the retracts supplies and need to be assembled .

I got a Turnigy Lightening system for more scale look along with the scale blades which i might order on later stage.
The light system come with pretty decent price tag of 10 USD almost.

I'll be using the 450 Pro TT Flybarless Kit For this project By ALZRC.

Which will be running on
-ALZRC FBL kit
-SK3 6S 1700Kv Motor
-YEP 60 Amp - Best ESC if you want Low RPM and In Budget .
-Micro BeastX FBL Gyro
-TGY 306 X3 Cyclics Servo
-Savox On the Tail
 
Planning to run 2800-3000 RPM With 11 or 12T slant Pinion

Packing was great and the parcel came in 4 days via DHL.
Kit requires a 9G Servo for the Retracts which control all three wheels Via control Rods . I'll be using the Tower Pro 9MG
Need to assemble many other external parts using 5 mins Epoxy

Best Detailing done on the body
Paint Job is first class as i expected from Fusuno.

The Quality is 100% better then the Hobbyking Cheap Fuselages . You can judge it by the quality of Tail section . The Boom is very strong . They used plenty of material for strength

Got my last Board paper tomorrow , after that i'll be continuing .

Here's some snaps in comparison with a MD500 Fuse which is also a 450 Fuse .
MD500 is from the HK Guys . And the quality sucks when compares  :banghead:
But still 50$ vs 200$ is pretty okay .
I'll Do another thread for the MD500 Repainting and Build log later after these major Ones.

And the 450 which I'll be using is not a brand new kit . But yeah its kinda new only
I gave the specification in above post
I mounted on the side of the frame for easy access after installation in the fuse .
Also I prefer beastX more then VBar as i feel Vbar is bit twitchy and isn't made for scale flying , But Best for Smacking hahaha.
On the other hand BeastX is very smooth for scale flying . It's good for smooth 3D too but just personal preference .

For Installing the Lighting system , Need to make clean holes for the LED's .
I'll use a Reamer (https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7689__Knife_Edge_Reamer_3_14mm_Holesize_.html (https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7689__Knife_Edge_Reamer_3_14mm_Holesize_.html))

As there will be increase in weight and i'll keep rpm low a bit , I changed the Tail servo to TGY 306Hv for better tail holding performance .

(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/dhruvafreak/DSC09549_zps49e4acc8.jpg) (http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dhruvafreak/media/DSC09549_zps49e4acc8.jpg.html)

I needed to bring the tail servo as close to the boom for smooth movement of the Tail servo Linkage

Now I found that i'll need to remove
-Main Gear
-Elevator servo

to make the frame slide inside.  :banghead: :banghead:

You can see as the fuse is made for the V2 Design

(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/dhruvafreak/DSC09553_zpsd8572f7f.jpg) (http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dhruvafreak/media/DSC09553_zpsd8572f7f.jpg.html)


After removing I slided the frame inside and took the landing skid's hole marking

(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/dhruvafreak/DSC09559_zps88f06aa5.jpg) (http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dhruvafreak/media/DSC09559_zps88f06aa5.jpg.html)


I got no binding at the aileron servos

(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/dhruvafreak/DSC09560_zps70d1f9d7.jpg) (http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dhruvafreak/media/DSC09560_zps70d1f9d7.jpg.html)

And finally it will look something like

Note : I'll have to install elevator and main gear later after installing the 450 in the fuse :banghead: :banghead:

So after marking holes for the frame , i installed the retract servo finally and trimmed it .
The wheels assembly is kinda loose from inside so i'll put some gorilla glue later .
Assembly requires lot of patience .

Always while marking holes first try installing the tail assembly , which will give you rough idea about the modding required . Have to make sure - No Binding
I used washers to lift the tail servo and bring the push rod closer to the boom . It's all hit and try method .
Then marking the holes is a pain  :banghead:
I assembled the tail unit first then did the marking for exact location .

I made a hole near the tail servo so that it doesn't crack the fuse .

Here's few pics and video

A Kid got hit today by a stone (Kankad) been hit by tail rotor blades from at least 10-15m away While landing .
There's no clearance between tail blades and ground . I definitely need a heli pad and crew.

Other then that the chopper flies great . It's heavy and flies fast . Don't need high collective .
I have set it to -2 to +8.5 degrees. and low rpm

Time to install the LED's

Welcome to the world of "scale" my friend!

the first thing any scaler sees on his maiden is the stability, you just pulled that off beautifully.

Any stabilizers inside? any thoughts about going scale on the blades?

Thanks Controlflyer  :hatsoff:
I'm Running MicroBeastX FBL controller only . I'll Tune it more for scale flying after few more flights.
For the blades - No clue .... Maybe I'll get ASYMMETRICAL Spin Blades (Matt Black) for scale flying .
One of my friend use to fly scale without any FBL System but i don't have the guts to pull that out .

What blades you prefer?

So this project, from a sweepstakes perspective, is adding the scale fuselage to an already built heli ?  I see no build steps for the heli frame itself, nor timestamp reference pictures.

It will still be considered for the sweepstakes, but the effort level will be considered less as most of the work is in building the heli itself.

It looks great :thumbsup:

Painted the windows to black using Acrylic color .

For the side windows ,I bought a thick transparent sheet from stationary and painted it it . The windows are just hanging in there with the help of 3M TAPE.

Hi
What a great model. Congratulations  :hatsoff:.

I also have a airwolf 450 that I'm putting together. But the tail gives me problems.
There are two screws on the tail that I can not reach when it is in the fuselage. See picture.

Are they necessary or can I avoid them? How did you fix it?

It is a Trex 450 plus.

Thanks Torben !  :thumbsup:
First of all its good that you are using the Belt cause There's hardly any tail clearance with the fuselage installed .

Okay now ,  for your problem - Have you already mounted the frame and tighten up the boom ? I think you just try to push the frame back as much as you can before installing the frame and then PUT those 2 Screws on the tail case . That should work probably .
Lemme know if that works out .

Hi again

It did not go so well. Everything looks good and responsive, but the helicopter rotates. What's wrong with the tail?  ???

The helicopter flew very stable before.

@torben

Are both your Airwolves the same size?
From the pics my impression was that Dhruva's was much larger.

Of course as an airplane/sailplane guy I don't know anything about choppers...

Post by: dhruvafreak on September 24, 2014, 12:48:42 AM
Hey Torben , looks like the tail servo is binding . Just check if the tail slider is free and there's no binding !
And I would suggest making your throttle curve flat and Super soft start on the ESC . That will takeoff the torque reaction and avoid Unwanted rotation.  Lemme know

It went great.
It flies even better now. It has also been improved to handle more wind because it 's heavier. Unfortunately I do not have a video, since I could not persuade my daughter to film. She thinks that rc helicopter is a bit boring ;D

It will be pretty fast too . I remember i decreased the +pitch to 10 degrees and -pitch to -4 degrees for more scale flying with some 20-25% expo on the cyclics for smooth transitions  ;D :hatsoff:
