    Hi can anybody help please, some time ago I downloaded a small program which when you entered your planes measurements worked out the c of g point for you. I cant find it does anybody know where it is ? thanks

    Cheers but you will have to explain the tail control bit leading edge??

    It should read connected in bottom right corner. This is where I wasted ages trying to connect when the data lead was not pushed in far enough on tarot. Grrrrrrrr then I discovered it would not connect unless you started program before plugging in usb lead. Strange little quirks sent to annoy you but once mastered all seemed straight forward to set up. I am still trying to work out what some of it does but hey if you mastered all straight away it would be boring eh? I made a mock up of where the servos would sit by blue tacking them on a board and simulating heli movements it seems to work great (if all fails we will fly the wood board)

    Well for 28 quid you have to try it. Dont fall into the same trap I did it states you can use just a sat Rx but you have to purchase a special lead not supplied. You need to download the software and manual it will not come with it. Tarot have a website if it is not offered from your sales source. You can buy blue tooth adapters and get software for your mobile or tablet I went the pc route thinking there is enough settings in your TX (gyro gain dual rate ect to fine tune at the field. Time will tell on that decision. Right install the drivers first before plugging in I have read it don’t like win8 but previous versions are ok. It states in the manual 3 minutes set up time Ha took me 3 hours to get my head round it not helped by the fact it would not connect. Follow the instructions and setup TX and RX first making sure you select 1 servo mode for swash plate and flat line curves pitch and throttle. Power up tx then bind rx and power up system .disconnect ESC for safety do not connect any servos till the servo type is set. Start ZYX assist program and plug in data lead, it should select comm port press connect icon

    HK 450 V2 flybarless torque tube helicopter Searched for a build blog but could not find one with same components so if your thinking off a cheap FBL heli read on. Purchase list; HK 450 V2 flybarless torque tube helicopter kit Hobbyking Tarot ZYX-S2 3 axis gyro FBL controller Ebay 3 MG90 S metal gear servos plus HK-S9257 digital servo (tail) Hobbyking ESC 40amp blue series Hobbyking motor NTM rotor drive 450 3400kv 500w Hobbyking DMS2 6 channel RX (suits my DX7 TX) Hobbyking Roundabout £120.00 with some spare 325 carbon blades, cheap as chips. All arrived within 2 days first impressions looks great well machined alloy parts all moved smoothly and carbon frame looks robust but needs some deburring off the sharp edges. Never owning a FBL heli I was intrigued as to how it worked the blunt of it is the electronics take care of the paddle shafts job stabilising the heli by using 3 gyros to level the swash plate when the sticks are centred. I thought might be a good idea to check out the electrical side of things before commencing build.

    Hi to get my heli to hover true and level the swashplate is at a 30 deg angle right. All help topics say plate should be level when controls centred but if I do that it flys off to the left viciously. its a century spark sr with a two servo setup.

    Hi I just bought a glow plug driver that can be switched either manual on-off or using a separate channel on tx. I am concerned that should I forget its on it will drain rx battery and you know the rest. it draws it power through the rx. Can I change this but still use the rx to switch it on-off? If I take the red pin out of the plug and wire it to a positive on a separate battery, then take a negative and wire that to engine and separate battery will that work?

    Any good model for high winds? that easy every model you have that you will not cry to much when it gets damaged! So any model that cost 50 quid on E-bay any model that has been in your hanger for 3 years plus oh and any model you hate will fly well in the wind at least once ha ha

    Hi all I am converting an old glider to a V tail I was wondering what the recommended angle would be and if the tail sections should be in line with the fuse. I am guessing a more acute angle would give more rudder control and visa versa. So should I build the tail to 45 degrees would that give even control for rudder and elevator?

    have you any means of testing the running temp? A cheap laser temp gauge is helpful. could be the fuel is evaporating in the manifold due to excess heat. This could be caused by a number of factors I would try a new carb first. I disagree the top end screw should be left when set the setting up of these carbs is a balance between the two screws I have a data sheet from walbro with instructions how to set (PM me with your email address,) I would have to ask what has changed since it run ok, ambiant temp, cooling ducts have you removed any manifold gaskets.
