Henry,

I received my 350 today. Thanks for the extremely fast shipping and service.

p.s. When does your sale end. I'm toying with the purchase of the CH-46

I have the same experience, this guy shipped merchandise so fast to me and I am really happy having Ecureuil built and fly with it that I've been thinking of buying some tuning for Ecureuil as well. I am glad that MS keeps turning its picture of slow reacting, unreachable company.
Henry, nevertheless you must slow down, otherwise you are going to break my family budget to ZERO .
Take care guys.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I am very impressed after having the chance to dig into the 350 kit. The frame is high quality, metal head and swashplate. Great little heli MS! I'm looking forward to putting her together.

Anyone have any build reports?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Razmo,

I do have the same experience. I have already assembled 350. There is no problem. What I do like best are those small details like rivets precisely made on Ecureuil. I have not seen so exact copy of semi-scale heli so far.
On top of that, I am suprised the most with the stability of the heli. I was a bit worried of this 3 blade system without paddels, but this is absolutely fine.
Henry, you must give me and to Razmo some special discount giving you so great references
No seriously, I can recommend this to anybody, who wants to have something unique and the price is not bad USD 320,- (incl. brushless motor).

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		My 350 is 75% complete and I test flew it last night. Yes, it is very stable. More so than H2 with weighted blades. I think lot of engineering went into those special blades. I used gy 240 on mine and I don't have my tail wagging like the one in video. It is one sweet scale heli.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		What are you guys using for servos? I think the frame is designed to fit the HS50 or 55's. I'm toying with using better servos since I never really liked the centering on the hitecs.

I'm thinking airtronics. I recall seeing a really nice micro which is very similar to the hitec size. I'll have to check it out.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I used hitec hs55 for cylic and hs50 for the tail. I am not a big fan of these servos either. You can go with hs65 servos, which most people use with trex but you will need a separate bec because ms esc probably can't handle the load. I have tried to fit hs65 and they do fit just fine to the frame but linkage geometry was little off. You need to find a servo arm that will work. Heli flys surprisingly well with these servos so I am happy with using hs55 and hs50, but this might change if I decide to build a second one later on.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		hi,
i have just finished mine, and i would like to know your setup (pitch curve, etc....), because it is very sharp for me

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Hi guys,

I just finished build up of my ASTAR mechanics a couple of days ago and I have test-flown the mechanics. After some troubles with the tail caused by to hard moving tailblade holders the heli flyes very well, stable and without any of those multiblade-head characteristics I know from my big multiblade heads. So they really did a good job here.

Yesterday I started to build the fuselage and have some problems now. My tail seems to be to long for the fuselage
If I put on the tail-part of the fuse there is a gap of about 3 to 4 mm to close fit with the front part.

Has anyone of you had this before ?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		concerning setup:

On my TX (Futaba FC28) I have 40% on elevator and roll and 50% on pitch but this depends on the servo and servo lever.
I also have put 50% expo on the elev./roll function to make the heli respond faster around stick-neutral.
Pitch curve is almost straight from -2 to +10 in my case.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I have the kit without the motor. THe instructions list both a EM300/20 and an EM300/34. For those that have theirs flying, which motor are you using and what's your head speed.

Thanks for any info.

Never mind

MSComposite says EM300/34, the lower kV motor, which makes perfect sense with the three bladed head.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		hi
i make the first fly test the em 300/34 for me is pretty good ,in normal flight it's make the ecureuil very soft in flight, and i think a good choice for the flight time(i dont make test with 3d at this time),

I had the same issue when I was putting the tail part of fuselage on my A-Star. Tail boom little bit too long. Here is what I did. Make sure tail case is pushed all the way back into the tail body. You have to do little bit of coaxing for this. Be careful, the body is very fragile. Also make to sure conical tail pinion is seated all the way in. You should have little bit of tail shaft sticking of the conical tail pinion. If you do both of these and if tail still doesn't fit, then time for some drastic measures. Shorten the boom and shaft by your favorite method. Hack saw, file, sand paper, grinder,.... But you shouldn't, I didn't have to. Good luck.

Thanks,
oh I love drastic measures .... so I put the tail boom onto my lathe and shortened by 3mm as well as the shaft. Fits well now!
