Tony F.Vario 6 blade head
If I were to put one of these 6 blade Vario rotor heads on a heli swinging 900mm blades, what kind of servos would it require? Assuming a 120 degree 3 servo setup.
Thanks, T

Need Advice in Scale Helicopters
Looking for a scale Huey rotorhead 600 roban 10 mm shaft
Hi all, I'm looking for a scale Huey UH-1N rotorhead, 600 roban 10 mm shaft. I do have a dummy stabilization bar I can use on a 2 bladed system just looking for something more scale than the Align I have for the Roban conversion.
Thanks in advance for your help

Autorotation pitch.
For our scale helicopters how much is needed? -2,-3,-6, more??
All my scale helis use similar pitch curves: -3, hover pitch, and +10.
I practice Autos on all types on a sim but only with my 700 pod and boom in real life. The exception being on a couple of occasions due to real life failures: once with my 40lb BK117 which was mostly successful with just bent rear struts and...

I practice Autos on all types on a sim but only with my 700 pod and boom in real life. The exception being on a couple of occasions due to real life failures: once with my 40lb BK117 which was mostly successful with just bent rear struts and some cracked fiberglass. And a second time with my 700 size 14lb MD500 somewhat less successful due to a delay in actuating the Auto.
It has been suggested that -3 degrees isn't enough...at least initially, and the Auto curve should have something more than that as a starting point.
Thoughts?

My first build, setting the mechanics in the fuselage and I need to extend the main rotor and I need some advice on the linkage. It will need to be lengthened as well. What is the best practice? Thank you
Does anyone have a source for scale blades other than Vario and Spinblades?
Thanks, T
Hi everybody
Just about to finish my 315B Lama 1:4 and my question is what blades are recommended for the mainrotor, due to delivery and quality and type?
Vario has some problems with delivery after what I heard, dont know if it is correct.

So I was able to get a Roban 500 size MD500 from MotionRC. I have a TREX 500 for mechanics in it and was able to get a couple flights on it before our field closed for the winter.
If I was to replace the head with a 5 blade head, do I stay with the same blade length or go smaller to keep the load on the esc and motor manageable? For all practice purpose, it is an older TREX, pretty much stock...

If I was to replace the head with a 5 blade head, do I stay with the same blade length or go smaller to keep the load on the esc and motor manageable? For all practice purpose, it is an older TREX, pretty much stock with a HW 100a v3 esc.
Has anyone had to modify the main rotor shaft and linkage for the scale build? I need a taller main rotor shaft and longer linkage. If anyone knows where I can get them or any other ideas? Thanks

Keith H.Question for the group. I am adding a 5 blade head to my Trex 500 Pro. The stock blades are 425mm. Is it conventional to use the stock size when using 5 blades? Going inside a Hughes 500/500 size.
