you think the flasher 500 is crap?

No.Not completely.The rotor head is still going strong at 3050-3200rpm.That has to say something for it.
I started this lil rant a while back and the few bugs it had were just slamming me all at once.
For one,my headspeed is(was)too high for the design and/or materials.
I've dropped a tooth and now spin 2882 rpm and it seems all good now.
The torque tube isn't straight but I still use it.I moved the carrier bearing from 60% aft to 60% fore.That killed the bobble.
It's sort of grounded now.Waiting on a new tail boom.
The one I have has a hole in it from when the tail gear blew up and sent shrapnel through the boom.It still flys though.
It is a very cheap kit but all the upgrades needed for fast flying brings the price right up there with Align.Actually a little more.
If a sport flyer or hovering practice machine is what you need or want,it is a super machine.
The blades that came with it are definately crap.Dangerous I'd say.
They are sooooooo imperfect that they look like cottage cheese stuffed in a sock.
The basic mechanics are good though as long as you keep the headspeed reasonable. |
either way its the same result in the end I suppose.
