Well, just to let you know, Mr. Irshad Anwar, one of the better RC heli pilots i've seen in india (and i've seen him cut grass with an inverted heli), cannot Nose-in hover his heli.....so as an earnest request to save your beautiful heli, Avoid it at this stage of your learning curve(even if you can do it like a champ on the Sim).

Thanks a lot for your advice and concern.

I will not attempt any maneouver that I am comfortable on the sim. I understand that the sim has helped me understand the basics. I need to start learning everything again on the real heli, here I have an advantage that my learning phase will be easy.

I am getting my parts soon and I take your sincere advice, will go slow from the beginning.

Warm Regards

Arun

Arun,
One more suggestion. Since you are learning by yourself, please follow the steps as on this website :
http://www.rchelicopterweb.com/LearningToFly/LearningToFly.htm

I think it really helps to go step by step. Doing Nose in hovers is seriously not recommended for you yet .

Good luck and keep us posted via more pictures/ videos !

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the link.

I will surely follow it step by step.

The parts will reach me soon and I hope to be in action soon.

Will keep posting more pictures and videos.

Thanks Once Again.

Arun

Hi All,

I forgot to mention one mistake of mine. In fact I was running in the new OS 50 Hyper Engine and as adviced the engine was running rich.

As it was running rich the power was also very low, I can push full throttle still the heli will not climb.

I was adviced only to hover the heli (1'-2') from ground until 3-4 tanks as the engine was running rich for breakin purpose.

I was just impatient. 

Thanks

Arun

Hi All,

The stock Hirobo FRP Blades are not available, the other option is Funkey Carbon Blades - Rs. 4800/-

Rotor has the FRP blades @ Rs. 2950/- Please advice which one should I go for.

The JR ES 539 Servo on the collective is broken. I wanna change it please advice a good economical servo (My heli is not a CCPM one).

Thanks

Arun

Photos after the Crash.

Absolutely not even a single scratch on the heli except for the broken blades, bend flybar & the boom with slight dents.

We have the rotortech FRP blades in stock. Check the out the price of Silver Blade 605mm 

You mean you finally put a product list on the RotorZone site ?

It has been up for about a year here.

Great... did not notice the link.  Would be better if you make the link a bit more visible/accessible (something like a menu item which says "Product/Parts List" or "Price List" ?)

That link takes me to a blank page.

You are right, I had quickly put this up last time this discussion came up. Some description (especially for the items that comes in 2pack or 3pack) and pictures were in the plans that keeps getting postponed.

Strange, works for me from different machines. Anwar can see it too I guess.

Still I am able to see a blank page only.

Send PM with info you are looking for.

Let me know the IE version you are using. I'll see if I can replicate the issue. Could it be M$ vs ooffice output

Got the blank page under IE8 on Win7. But works fine with Chrome on Win7.  Works fine under both Chrome and Safari on Mac too.  Did not test with Firefox (which seems to be on the decline anyways?).

The document has some embedded styling elements...  did not investigate further.

it opens up in firefox!

Blank in Opera (10.6).. Its got something to do with the formatting since all the data is there when viewing the source code..

This may help!!!!

Hi All,

The Parts have been despatched from Kolkatta and hope to receive by tomorrow.

I have also ordered Hitec HS-635 Servo from Rotor Chennai for the collective pitch. - Please advice on the same as I am hesitant to continue with the JR ES539 on the collective.

I have got JR ES539x2 on the cyclics for the time being. Once hovering is completed, I will upgrade the same with Hitec HS 7966x3

Will update the repair process with pictures here.

Thanks

Arun

Cool, would like to see lots of pics!

Here are the Parts that arrived from Kolkatta.

Some more

Only the Servo, Main Mast, Feathering Spindle, Flybar rod, Pitch Rod Link & Blades need to be replaced.

Rest of the items are spares for future use.

I tried to remove blade holder from the feathering spindle which is held by a hex nut. It seems to be very very tight.

How do I remove it ?

Thanks

Arun

The torque numbers are similar between these two, the significant difference is the Karbonite gears on the Hitec one.

Don't have specific Sceadu head experience, but all feathering shafts need to be held from both sides for removing the nuts.  You will need to two wrenches (hex drivers) of the right size.
