Scale Model RC Helicopters > Ecureuil on Aerodyne 3 bladed head

I finally got to maiden one of the Lightning Heli V2 3 bladed heads on my Trex 600E based Ecureuil. I'm using Vbar as well. Setup of the head was a breeze. This was my first venture into more than two blades, didn't know what exactly to expect and...it all worked perfectly! Heli flies pretty much the same as it did on 10s and two blades. Currently using 8s to get the head speed down a bit.

We don't need no stinking flybars!

Trex 600E, with torque tube of course!, using a Neu 1515/2Y/F H motor (1100 Kv). Jazz 55-10-32. 8S 3200mah batteries (for testing). Will probably get some A123's so I can charge leaving them in the heli. Vbar, 9252's and a 9251 on the tail. Phased it by hand, no funny business at all on initial spoolup. Before installing, I took the head apart and re-locktited where necessary. I really didn't have any issues with it. What problems did you see?

Looks great guys, now all you need is a scale cockpit to make her complete.

Take Care,

I've never flown multi-heads without gyros, but am told that they work just fine, including the combo you got. Do a search on what to expect. It's supposed to be a little "different" than flying with a flybar. I can say that with head gyros, they fly the same as with a flybar.

Carlos:

As you can see on a previous post, I have a TTAS355 with the aerodyne head, while others swear on the use of stabilizing gyros, I can personally tell you that at least on this head with the Century FG 600MM blades I feel no need for them, Heli flies perfectly and balanced, will hover rock solid, yet it's no flybarred heli, flies somewhat differently, something I tell you is even more important than the gyros is constant rotor speed, for that reason I always use governors on my multibladed heads, fortunately, so far have found no need for the gyros. The governor will help ensure you do not have phasing issues.

Gyros will help in two areas: phasing and sensitivity to wind gusts, sensitivity you can learn to correct if not severe and will vary with set-up (blade aerodynamics/head/rpm combination) and the weight of the machine, the governor will take care of the phasing...

If you ask me, when not using gyros you feel like you are flying the real thing
