My Posts This: Topic Forum | Heligrom, you can "easily" use a HH gyro & brushless motor on the stock blade setup. Just open the 4-in-1 and solder 3 wires (real easy to get at), one ground, one +5V, one rudder signal. Connect these 3 to HH gyro, connect gyro output to a $8, ~5A ESC for tail (before you do, cut, remove, disable, tape small red 5V wire BEC from ESC connector), plug tailmotor into this ESC (parallel the ESC power leads to the 4in1 so it gets juice). Enjoy the locked tail.
If you haven't a computer TX, you'll need a $6 hardware mixer for rate mode, HH should lock without this (I use HH for take off/landing flipping from compu-TX).
BL setup (main or tail for that matter) is done the same way. Personally, I only like the 4-in-1 as a 6ch RX anyway so I do away with the rest by "cutting off" where CH3/CH4 (throttle/rudder) connect to the gyro/mixer board & trash that, then re-cover the 6CH RX board with sub-c batt clear heatshrink & cut open the 6CH and crystal area.
Same tricks work on the CX, I've done them, altho really a PG-03 rate unit is overkill flying indoor. |
