hi friends
am back after a long hiatus from flying my helis ,had my exams and done now ...got my hk 450 gt and my trex 250 drowned in dust...i need help on a checklist of things to do before i get them back in air....eagerly awaiting to get 'em flying again....looking forward for some expert advise from the gurus

These electrics do not need much, except to remove the dust, and AFTER all the dust has been removed, apply a bit of lube to the moving (especially "sliding") parts.

Although it is not related to storage time, it is prudent to check for any loose screws etc after every 3 to 5 flights at least.

Welcome back! I got a trex 250 too, almost ready for maiden.

I would suggest check if the swash moves freely on the main shaft and the tail slider moves freely on the tail shaft. After few flights, i usually find the tail slider doesnt move smooth on the tail shaft - i fix this by spraying some WD40 on the shafts

Clean up the exposed brearing also - again WD40

thank you for the tips!
will be getting back to flying soon....moving back to bangalore this saturday and eagerly waiting to meet other heli flyers!

Sure give me a call when you are in Bangalore. On reading up on the trex 250, lot of people seems to have problems with its tail. Reminded me of your gyro/tail issues. Devil or not, it definitely has a devil's tail. Yours might have had the same problem. I hope mine works ok.

hi rajesh sir
am in bangalore...when are u planning for a maiden of the 250....i guess its not everyone that've been plagued by the tail issue....just wish for some good luck....otherwise am sure you'll fall in love with the little fella instantly!all the best!!

Will try to maiden it before the weekend.

hi rajesh sir
any progress on the li'l rex?

What a coincidence! I was just wondering what happened to you. The maiden went well. Tail is holding well in fast backwards and small tail slides. My skills are too rusty to attempt more in the limited space I have. Need to take it to a field and complete beastx tuning. If you are in Bangalore, get in touch.

sure sir will do....just been a busy with lots of things ...wow you have beastx on! that's cool! eager to meet you sir....how bout next weekend...?not keeping too well from a few days!
