My Posts This: Topic Forum | Maxir is the best!Hey Hornet Dave...I'm a big maxir fan too. This helicopter with a axi
2208/20 + 15 t pignon + cc 10 esc rocks so much.
I have a question for you...you told that you are using the blade cp paddle and you love them better than the rico 3d paddle? I suppose that you removed the weights that normally comes on the the blade cp paddle (4 weghts in total). Is it the stock paddle that comes from the stock blade cp pro or eflite made a 3d version?
Moreover, I saw on your pictures that you put the newer rico tail blades. I just order one set and I smiled when I saw those tinny fins. They are a lot smaller than the stock ones. As I usually need more tail authority, I'm not shure about those. However, they look a lot more rigid than my stock plastic ones. Maybe because they are smaller, I will be able to increase my gyro gain (I can't go over 30% gain with actual setup).
Honnestly, the only flaw to this helicopter is that I feel the tail a little underpowered. I run at 1550 RPM with the new main gear version (faster tail rpm). I have a csm 560 gyro (version 3) with a digital tail servo (futaba s3154). Do you have any suggestion. I wish you will tell me to put those new tail blades and it will solve my problem
Except for the lack of tail authority, It's a dam stable little rocket. Here is a little story that happened to me and my maxir couple of weeks ago :
I use a pad to land the helicopter. it's a 1,5m X 1,5m board that weight maybe 2-3 pounds. I usually use this as a wind meter. When the angle of the board in the wind is about 75+ degres and flipping a side to another, it's normally time to put the maxir in the box and take out the bigger gas helicopter (well some guys put their gas on the table or car too). Couple week ago, I went to the park to show my maxir to a guy (he wanted to buy one). That day the carpet was flipping a little to much...anyway as a proud guy, I told him that is was no big deal for the maxir and it could take bigger punch than than (even though I was pretty nervous and wasn't really shure if everythig would be ok). I put a rock on my landing board to keep it on the ground. THe guy was still looking at me and telling me that I donesn't have to do it. But anyway it was test TIME. I put the maxir face to the wind and take off in a foward flight against the wind. That flight, I was only doing back and forth travel in the wind direction. Man I was speach less. Imagine full throttle and 12 degrees pitch to climb upwind at maybe 15-20km/h max. At every time I turn downwind the maxir dissapered so quickly in the back ground. it was a lightning acceleration and I was screeaming every time. I finally let the helicopter in a hoover at 1 meter from the ground in the wind gusts. I was proud of myself and the maxir. Facing the wind, was just staying there. The guy finally bought one right away!
This helicopter is a dam 3d rocket, cheep battery, easy to fix and well designed. The only reason why I would fly a bigger one is that you can see it further. Yes, it's a small...but so much fun.
I crashed it today. ending up costing me only one carbon blade and a pignon.
My next one probably will be the sniper...or sjm 430. Any comments about the new sniper? |
