Honey Bee FP Center Hub Replacement

[cplsyx]

Excellent video; I was back up and flying in no time. Thank you :)

[chippi09]

Best tutorial I've ever saw, THANK YOU SIR !!!!

If you don't mind can you PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME HOW TO REPLACE

THE MAIN SHAFT-- THANKS AGAIN.

Just wanted to say thanks man. I had a little hard time passing that little square piece onto the center hub. After seeing how little effort it actually took you, I looked again and saw that when I flipped around the piece it was grooved on one side. This is my first heli and first repair. THANKS

[Raksu0]

thanks! Just bought mine today. I thought it would be harder to fly. Probaply have to do that sometime :D

They seem to be pretty much indestructible. At least I never broke mine.

[airpup86C]

They go in from the bottom. On mine, I have a homemade aluminum stiffener on top, so I drill out the blade holder bolt holes and use a machine screw with a nylon lock nut on the top. Hope that makes sense.

[bookerb99]

[dayshaddow]

thank you so much for this very clearly shown and spoken video.i havnt broken the head yet but im learning and with learning comes crashed..as my poor lama v3 has learned the hard way

[Bowmansteve]

Thanks for posting this vid, my poor honeybee only lasted two days before i crashed and snapped my hub, also running out of glue!!

[Namaste1001]

This is exactly what I needed. Just about to replace my broken hub after a crash.

Thanks

Great vid, thanks very much very helpful.

[airpup86C]

You're welcome. Glad some good can come from all the center hubs I've busted! :)

Update: The way I show to balance the flybar in this video, by moving the flybar weights, is not the best way to do it. Ideally, you should have two paddles that weigh the same, checking with a good scale. Add a little tracking tape to the light one as needed. In my case, I had two very mismatched paddles, which required desperate measures. I've since bought a new pair, and they weigh exactly the same. I put a tiny strip of yellow on each so I can find them if one comes off in a crash.

airpup86C: Your flying so much your actually getting too good. I'm taking your advice and getting more batteries so I can fly more. Maybe I'll do a video on changing out the servo since I had one strip on me.

Great video, your really talented on fixing these HB's.

[airpup86C]

Thanks tivopro. The only reason I'm getting good at fixing them is cause I crash so much! I was outside today, winds were light, maybe 5 or 6 mph, but the bee was all over the place. Let me tell you, this thing can go like a missile! Let's see, one flybar broken, one paddle lost, one frame broken, but glued back together. More tape on the canopy. The poor Bee!

By all means, make a video. It's kind of fun to get something constructive out of a crash!

nuttcaze has a rival :)

[airpup86C]

Oh not really, I just thought I'd try to salvage an otherwise bad day. I should not try to fly backwards when the weather is so cold, it gives you too many chances to make repair videos.

I recommend all of Nuttcaze's vids. This is just sort of another take on the same subject.

Thanks so much. That poor center hub didn't perish in vain!
