For flybarless helicopters or fixed wing aircraft. MZ24 is a colour touch screen full telemetry system with TWO unused GR18 receiver's with full stability modes suitable for use as fbl controllers or large fixed wing models with stability and various telemetry. The latest firmware is installed allowing each Rx to be setup from the transmitter as helicopter or fixed wing controllers. In helicopter mode the swash plate servos and tail sensitivity etc are all programmed and adjusted from the tx colour touch screen. No pc or phone is needed. The MZ24 has had an antenna replacement with a new housing and aerial. Apart from that both tx and rxs are in excellent condition. Comes in a top quality aluminium HOTT Cass with usb to 4.2v charging lead and the tx has the high capacity lipo battery. £295

I need to replace my broken antenna but there is no suitable manufacturers replacement so I am thinking of installing a 2.4ghz removable type with a pigtail. But the nearest one for the MX has this enlarged bit in the coaxial cable near the ipex socket . The original MZ24 one has that also but the generic coaxial pigtail does not. Do any RF experts know if this would be a problem?

All in excellent flying condition but the battery expired! Not needed anymore so if anyone still flies one it would be good for spares. Or just buy a suitable 2s lipo . Comes complete with 2 new fuselages and lots of spare rotor blades skids and a new flybar. £25 posted

EFlite Blade 180 CFX in excellent condition. The canopy has 1 tiny defect at the top with internal tape and you don't notice it at all in use. Comes with original box / carry case Original Blade weighted rotor blades and a second pair of blue Microheli blades. The Heli has an upgraded Savox metal geared tail servo (Savox SH 0257mg). This is more powerful and faster than the original and has metal gears for durability. No battery included. Requires a high quality 450mah 3s 11.1 volt lipo battery. And a charger! You will need a Spektrum or other DSMX (ideally 7 channels but will work with 6 channels). Manual is available online but not included. £100 posted.

For tinkerers or experienced micro Heli flyers: Two Blade 130x used helicopters. Both these helicopters have had lots of time spent replacing / servicing parts and upgrading others to get them to a point where they appear functional on the bench but I can not test fly them as I lack the skill. Both of them will run powerfully without too much vibration if batteries and radio transmitter connection are connected but these are not included. First has Fusuno carbon/alloy replacement frame, new tail case and shaft new slider control , new gear D. New flanged bearings hardened type. Original plastic rotor hub hasa tiny split but functions ok and a replacement rotor hub in aluminium is ready to fit (see spares list) , functional servos. New tail drive gear B. Functional main fbl controller. Good rotor blades. Alloy canopy fixings. Original canopy has slight crack but looks good. Alloy tail fin not fitted. Alloy upgrade skids. Second has original frame. New tail servo. Functional cyclic servos. Functional fbl unit. Used blades functional but chipped. New tail gears C and D. Tail drive gear B (small bevelled type is worn but seems to engage ok) New tail shaft and flanged bearings. Microheli alloy tail hub and slider. No tail fin. Good fibreglass canopy needs fitting to the replacement canopy fixing rods. New o rings. New Spares included for the 2 complete 130x s 2 Sets blades 1 tail case 1 tail shaft with collar 1 set o rings (1 aluminium rotor hub set blh3711A cost £15.49) (1 Rakonheli CNC dfc hub set co st£16) Both helicopters are basically setup and function when powered up and bound to a DSMX tx and need subtrim setups to avoid drift which has to be done on the bound transmitter. There are many online tutorials about this process Open to sensible offers please. Can be sent by insured postage.

Does anyone have a blade 130x no longer wanted. For Parts would be great with good front tail drive gears!

Flatting agent? What's dat? -
Stupid idea maybe but I've found that a couple of squirts of switch contact cleaner can sort things out. Worth a try.

Hmm thanks. I only had 45 years experience of covering by then -
Doped Nylon or Tissue ... How to avoid wrinkles?
Edgeflyer replied to Edgeflyer's topic in All Things Model Flying
Yes I am using old as in 1960s parachute material which I believe is nylon . But it does not behave as I remember so maybe it is treated or something as it shrinks when wetted then recovers to a larger size when dry. I have to prestretch and predope. Needs lots of patience. -
Doped Nylon or Tissue ... How to avoid wrinkles?
Edgeflyer posted a topic in All Things Model Flying
I've been using traditional finishes since the 60s but recently I can't get anything wrinkle free! What's changed? Techniques range from wet , dry , fixing edges down first , heat shrinking. Always comes out wrinkly these days. My dope is fresh clear shrinking cellulose but it causes the material to go from reasonably taut to horribly wrinkly! It used to be that nylon stretched when Wer and shrank when dry. But now my nylon stock seems to reverse that! The only way I can get anything reasonable is to predope the nylon stretching out onto glass before attaching to the wing. Where am I going wrong? Experience makes me worse. -
