Raptor 600 NSP

[mnentwig]

Because "everyone and his dog flies T-Rex (tm)".
Now what do you mean, all the parts are labeled "Align"?
Hmmm they are. Weird...Must be a typo on the heli...

[rahnmat]

That's a nice bird you got there. Has it already gone out, or is it waiting for its maiden flight. 

[mnentwig]

I flew it today at Hentta.
The heli didn't give any trouble, but there were some small episodes with the starter ... one of them: accidentally assembled it the wrong way, so it ran backwards 
and, the last auto with motor off went a bit short, so it already chopped some grass.

chopped some grass.

Grass? Haven´t seen that anywhere for a while except in a plastic bag...

So you just had to use a rappy cabin, huh? Fits nicely though...

At least for the picture, if you look closely it turns out the canopy mounts are too short.
It was butt-ugly already on my late Raptor, and didn't get any better  Can't get enough of that cheap carbon-imitate windshield...

Well, grass or no grass, some sad brown stalks.

Push-pull throttle lever, Hi-Fi....

Push-pull throttle lever, Hi-Fi....

Well observed But, this isn't bling:
In my late Raptor, the carburator barrel had a tendency to get stuck at a certain angle. Quite annoying - suddenly, power was gone.
I fixed that with push-pull. And since I'm reusing the old motor, the same might happen here, therefore push-pull again.

BTW, did anybody already notice that Align and TT ball links are incompatible? HIGHLY annoying...

[Vispilä]

Sama juttu Redline motissa, kaasarin sylinterillä on taipumusta kulua ja jumittua ilman push pull linkistöä. Halpa ja helppo tapa ehkäistä ongelmia.


-op-

[masu]

Eikö kaikilla muka ole tommonen push-pull?

[ropellihattu]

yeah, that must have been annoying. Which reminds me, ot of course, i once forgot to secure throttle servo horn on my 600n. Well, it detached but luckily the throttle stuck to below hover level and i was able to poke the throttle shut with a broom stick...

No niin huomenna varmaan nähdään Henttaalla
kolme ihan uutta T-Rex 600n.Markuksen Karkkiksen Jaskan.

[mnentwig]

... Well, it detached...

same here on rudder... one of the more embarrassing crashes with my Raptor...

[Arctikdiver]

Joo ja joku pykälää isompi...
