rudder trimming esky honey bee king 2

a rig setup to trim out and test the rudder in all rev ranges.. pitch curve is a slight positive linear, throttle curve is a sqrt(x). helicopter psins slightly. to fix this i had to mix throttle to rudder. hkb2 needs bigger tail rotor! otherwise the maximum upward thrust is limited..

get good transmitter and reciever, the original tx and rx what made this heli unflyable for me.

Wouldn't rotor wash be a huge issue here?

[AvengerIl]

dodgy gyro was a far bigger issue...

[AvengerIl]

but actually a decent JR RX/TX combo is what made this bird flyable... still with the original gyro.. good gyro helps a lot though..

how did you make the rig

[AvengerIl]

its a skateboard with a metal can attached to a weel. the heli goes on top of that.

actually this is a bit unnecessary but still useful. probably whats more important is a higher main rotor speed so that the gyro can hold heading. on the left of ur transmitter theres an adjustment under ur index finger. i think pull it in.

mine spins rapidly when i try to fly it. I'm trying to adjust the tail servo, but it is so sensitive, i move it just a tad, and it spins the complete other direction. any help would be nice :(

Hey I mist say, this is pretty ingenious. *Looks for spare cans lying around!"

Thanks for the idea.

hey, ive got a question. i have a honeybee king 2, and ive got the brushless motor, metal head assembly. but this morning when i was flying, it hovered fine for a few seconds, then it started jumping up and down. when i ws charging the battery, it said problem with battery, could this be the problem?

the only thing that made my esky every fly is a new radio... its flyable after that, decent gyro abnd matching servo would help a lot though.. though not sure if its worth the investment for hat heli

[ezpcmars]

Do most of you go 3D as soon as the heli is off the ground to stop the tail spin? I lowered my pitch on main blade with the left adjustment it is still spinning. Any suggestions would be nice.

i like that idea
