My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Motor Mount

I would certainly be interested in a mount also if someone would choose to make them available.... this really looks like a GREAT conversion.... I like flying mine on the 50 BUT there is ALWAYS that chance of a flame out.....
Also does anyone have the link to NHP for the blades???? These sound like they may be a good option to the woods.....I have a season on mine, but they are not as close as I would like for balance..(real close, BUT!!)

Thanks for all the info......and nice conversion....Stan

that's OK, I'm interested in an e-conversion also.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yeah, I Know.....

Thanks Free Bird,

I know that I have it flying nicely, but the more I do with the electrics, the more positives I am coming up with to make some conversions....
Wait until you see my Pegasus fly in the Scout fuselage this season!!!!
And thanks on the WRAMS... thought sure that Butch would take it with the Comanche.... I would have voted for his!!!!! But I did cash the check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see you soon....Stan

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yes, I second that request, pictures PLEASE!!

So far I have all the parts, less motor mount, hint, hint, but I have not even gotten around to taking the fuse off the frame, a motor mount would sure give me this last nudge to get moving. I guess the ordering parts was the easy part of this conversion!!! Love those credit cards!!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Pinion used

Pinion is a 12 tooth unit from Century Heli purchased from Helicopter World in CA, Century part #CNMG512, it has has 5mm bore that must be drilled out to 6mm, an easy task. It just slips onto motor shaft and tighten the set screw after drilling out to 6mm. Except for the motor mount which I had to make this has been an easy conversion so far.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Servo's??

Mine was built with sport servos JR 517's at first and I was able to hover and move it around, but then I switched them out to Futaba 9252's thinking that since most are working through a gyro the faster more accurate servos would work well.... and they do.... I thought that they might be overkill, but I would recommend 9252's for everything except the throttle.....
Mine works fine in full forward flight in winds from 10-15 with little or no problems..... so I would suggest going for the better servos...
Good Luck, Stan

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I used 4 JR 4131's, very precise, tight, reliable, strong servos at a decient price.

Picture of my e-converted Vertol mechs.

I can supply the motor mount for the eflyte power 60 to make the conversion if any body needs one.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Free bird,

SORRY dude didn't catch it. I just finished 2 today but unfortunatley there spoken for guys waiting 2 weeks and mailing tomorrow. I'll start 2 more and should have done by Friday next week, maybe earlier if mill is available, can you wait for one that long? Let me know. PM me if you would and I'll print it and hang it, write "next to get first one done" so I don't forget you again.

AGAIN, SORRY

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Motor Mount...

Got mine today and have to say it is very nicely done... along with a picture of the mount installed and an optional mode with instructions if you want to add it....
It will make this project a whole lot easier when I get around to doing the conversion....
I just wanted to comment on how nice a job Turbinator did on this..

Thanks, Stan
