Well a little more done on the nacelle ( notice singular ) It took two variation of the mount and this one needs some tweaking yet and some braces on the mechanics yet . I built one from 1/8" X 2 aluminum angle and Mc Master Carr aluminum shaft clamps ..and it moved around to much . I then found some alumnum pulley mounts at Mc M and modified it and it seems a lot more ridged
! I also hooked up the servos to the swash plate and then to the rotormast FC unit to see if it will in fact work the slightly larger servos and it doesn't just on the ESC's power like the smaller bird does .. but seems to bench test with a seperate 6 amp BEC. I want to get the rotor head on and see how the mount holds up to rotating rotor blades ! :unsure:
Been working a little on the Cheyenne pusher too . :drug:

Thanks Emile .. it is just a hovering bird , now ,, don't have the time now to rebuild the tilt mechanics and also am having trouble getting the collective governor to read the rpm .. since the bigger bird is less rpm than the smaller one . I will need some help and maybe software changes from Tom to be able to make a conversion .
