Help me identify my new Fury, and some initial setup questions Hi All,
First off, allow me to introduce myslef. My name is Joe Finkelstine and I fly bth helis and planks (I am a member of Skymasters in Michigan). In the heli hanger I have 2 60 size rappys, a Trex 450XL, and now my new baby a Fury of unknown vintage.I traded some PC setup and repiar services to a fellow club memeber for this Fury, as he built it about 4-5 years ago, but does not remember which one it was, nor all the upgrades he did. I would like to ask for help in the following ( I hope my photos come through post)1) Anyone have a good guess as to which Fury model this is? - I am guessing it is an expert or similar vintage. THe primary reason I want to know is to try to find a builders manual online so I can get part numbers for when I meet the earth unexpectedly  2) I pulled off the rate gyro and reciever he had and I am plannining on putting on an unused GY 601. The problem is that this Fury does not have an obvious spot that I can tell where to mount the sensor, or the cpu unit. I am guessing this Fury was out before the GY gyros started coming out with cpu units - any suggestions here?3) Likewise, I have an unused GV-1, that I would also like to put on this bird, but also cannot figure out the best place to put this. Along these lines, anyone hazard a guess as to the stock ratio for the pinion/main gear? - Heli has un-used YS 61ST currently and will have for at least this season to I get it running4) I would like to put a header tank on this beast, but would like to know the best spot per you experienced ones.5) my friend also said he remembers upgrading the head to an epensive one, costing nearly $400 back then and thought it was a Cliff Hyatt model - can anyone tell from the photo? - I also am trying to get a manual on this head if not stockI am plannig on making this Fury my best of my fleet, and I am currently an intermediate flyer, doing rolls, loops, etc. Not yet into 3D, but getting thereAny help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!ThanksJoe Finkelstine    |

Ray is rite this looks like an extream with a tempest FAI head or a Teapest 3D with a FAI head the Teamest 3D had G10 frames while the FAI version had carbon fiber frames either way it should fly great it's an MA. and if your interested in trading that head I have an extream 3D head i'll trade you for it. |

Thanks for the help so far t everyone Wow,
Fantastic replies gents - I really aprpeciate the help. I also have recieved several PM messages for direct help and I will be calling. It is MOnday night and I just got back from a long day at the field with my planks, getting them ready for the season.From all of the replies, it appears I have the FAI head. From the name, I am assuming this head favors grace over rapid cyclic/collective pitch. I did dig into the spare parts bag I got and I actually found a portion of the head manual - the title page says "Rotor Head Instructions #123-01" - I am going to move forward at this point under the assumption it is the FAI head. It sounds like it is not the best for all out 3D, but I am not there yet, so perhaps it will work fine for now.Also, Per one of the posts, I checked under the main gears and there is indeed another bearing block for the mainshaft, so according to the posts, it appears that I have an extreme.AS to the post on counting the number of teeth, I also thought of that, but the pinion gear makes this pretty difficult from what I can tell. I did notice that a replacement main gear I had said 9.0:1, and this ratio sounds in the ball park for a 61 - I have also found through poking around that MA offered ratios of 9.0:1, 9.3:1, and 9.5:1 - I will do my best to cont teeth, but in the end, I will rogram a ratio into the GV-1 and then check it with a tach - I shoul dbe able to determine actual ratio that way I suspectI am still scratching my head on where to mount al of theses electrnics, and one individal asked me to check his gallery out - thanks for the invite - I will be there soon!Once again, thanks to all for the great replies, I really appreciate the help and I will be back with more questionsJoe |

It's looking more like a Fury expert now Hi All,
After further digging into the extreme and expert drawings, I think I have a strong clue now as to my Fury starting life as an expert and then being upgraded considerably. here is the clue I found. After talking with a f ew folks about nowhere to mount my gyro, they told me where on the frame a mount block shoul dbe with holes for 4 small bolts. Well, my fram only has two vs. 4 bolt holes , and this matches the expert frames, as I also found in my bag of parts the two piece servo mount flanges, which are on the expert drawings only - The fury extreme appears to have a one piece gyro mount. Also, I have found a few parts bags in the spare parts he gave me as apeparing to be from the original kit he did not use as he upgraded during assembly. The parts bags all refer to fury expert.It appears that my friend supplied me with a major upgraded Expert almost all the way to a Tempest - The head is the FASI unit, the tail is the upgraded Tempest CNC unit - I think he went nuts at the hobby store! - good for me, now however, I am looking at pulling the fan to drill GV-1 magnets |
