Mechanics

Goblin 570 driving a modified Vario fenestron with a belt. SpinBlades 600, 8 minutes on 3500 packs. It flies surprisingly well in the wind. Egodrift, YGE 105 governed by iKon2 FBUS connection TDMX. Radio is X20RS, full telemetry and integration.

(When it looks easy, it's not)

First flight this year and a perfect flyer. The 10 blade fenestron is driven by a an HDT-3M belt. Head speed 1050 rpm, 9kg, 7 minutes on 3800 packs, that's the clip and the link is at 1100 rpm.
It is a perfect candidate for orientation flying. I fly scale speed in any direction like the full size.

This file allows one to align the up shaft very accurately during installation.

Hey everyone, hope all is good…
I’m working on VARIO CH-53. I’m stumped on where to put electronics ( ECU, batteries etc. there is only the cargo door, no other door access. I could use some ideas. Or pics of your setup?
Thanks for any help!

Easy making of control rods thread ends
Thread rolling results in stronger thread ends.

Getting the mechanics into the Roban 800 fuse has been an enjoyable process, but now I have to think about wiring the lighting which DOES NOT seem like a small job! Need to get my pilots to work for me while I'm not home (LOL).

Anyone have any tips for Changing out the pre-painted roof glass that appears to be incorrectly tinted? Just replace it or should I try and remove the paint somehow?

What is the overhaul frequency of your tail angle gearbox with metal bevel gear?

I will use it as proof of concept for my next H135 1/6 build.
And currently rebuilding the tail for a SAB belt driven Fenestron conversion using the latest Vario 10 blade which is beautiful.
Pictures show the original configuration I discarded and currently converting to all SAB components at the rear.

I am tucking away this handy resource in case anyone needs to find black, high tensile blade bolts.

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
