At the moment, I haven't succeeded yet to tune my OS91SZ-H. If I don't give gaz very slowly, the engine stops. I tryed with rich niddles and pour niddles. I will insist hoping that the engine has no problem.

Sceadu Evo 50 - substitute of my C30 (02/24/2006)

 
 
Touched to see me sad without a second trainer heli, my wonderful wife offered me a Sceadu Evo 50.
Configuration : 3x9255, 1x9451, 1x9254 with GY502, CGT 600, OS50Hyper with MP2, GP 4 cells NiMH 2000mAh.
Update / tuning : 3rd bearing at the tail reduction.
Tuning for run in

Since the beginning, the tail of the Sceadu could not stay in place and moved regularly and rapidly to the left. I changed the place of the gyro, the gyro itself, the tail servo, the receiver. Nothing helped, until I crashed model because it started to spin like spinning top (crash on 05/31/2006). After testing the batteries, I noticed that despite the tension, it could not stand the demand of current causing the gyro to switch off for a while and reset itself right after. Probably the batteries is not powerful enough to work with 5 digital servos and a GY502. Those protections have not been enough. The servo tail died and I succeed to save my model. After a new servo tail, the cable from the captor to the gyro started to malfunction. I almost saved my model this time, except that the spindle shaft is bent. After a nth attempt, we check the rpm and we discovered, that I was way over the 2000rpm. Finally, I reset my curve and needles to be at maximum 1910rpm and the shaking of the tail disapeared. Some weekends after, the tail started to respond intermittently only; I thought that it was this time the gyro, because I couldn't believe in other failure of another 9254. I bouhgt and intalled a GY401 and before the first flight, I noticed that the tail servo was not reponding anymore. I installed the repaired servo and everything was back to normal. So I had two faulty 9254 in a row that destroyed my TD NT and two times my Sceadu. I never had such a sad season, full of crashes, no pleasure to fly and no progression. What's wrong with these 9254?
It's flying!

2 engine bearings dead in 1 year




What the hell is wrong with my OS50 Hyper. With the first one, I had a broken crankshaft. With the second one (after guarantee), my rear bearing went bad after a year and the back of the engine was damaged. I bought a second OS 50 Hyper and same issue after one year too (I had never flown too hot, I used different fuels for each engine)!
Incrediable, after two years of duty, The rear chamber of my mp2 dissociated itself from the rest of the muffler! I never could think that possible, because there is no welding between the two chambers, it is in one piece at the origin.
Configuration : Hatori 521
The heli is seriously quieter than with the last version of the mp2. I can't tell, if there is a power difference yet. As my bearings are gone bad again (after only one year), I tried a full metal bearing for my engine (without cage). Strange, each time that my rear bearing went bad, I broke my clutch shoe too or is it the contrary? At least, both events are related.

The skids went away, although they were glued with silicon. I don't trust that system anymore. This model hates me badly. Should I sell it?

Pit stop to fill up

On the 08th of April 2006, the sensor of my GY502 gyro detached itself of the frame and gave crazy orders to the tail rotor. It ended up with a rapid pirouetting fall of 150m. It's a sad accident, because I started to get used to it and make a lot of pregress (like inverted translations and loops).
The first measures won't be to repair it, but to bring my new Sceadu EVO 50 in the air as soon as possible, because it deserves it. After what, I'm gonna repair my TD NT too.

 
Airbrush (06.2007)
After a short season 2006 because of a faulty S9254, my TD NT is back in the air with a strange canopy until I get confident with the new settings.

I couldn't fly my model with the new canopy, because the revised S9254 drives crazy one more time. Damn what the hell is going on with that servo model? I'm gonna buy a new one.
My Three Dee NT is sold. I was way too much bored of it, prefering the floor than flying. There were always something wrong. I haven't had much fun with it compared to all the trouble, I've been through. Contrary to the title, it has been more a nightmare than a dream for me. I prefer to let it go for the pleasure of somebody else and save money for another heli. I will let the time give me a piece of advise.

Divonne-les-Bains 2005

The end of an area. I sold my Caliber 30 after 2 years and half of faithful services. It left me on Wednesday the 10th of October 2005 for another beginner. May its destiny be accomplished at another happy proprietary's.

Which heli will be the successor of my dear ex-Caliber 30, when my heart has come back to peace? A Caliber 5, a Sceadu EVO 50 or an Airskipper 50?

On the 17th of February 2006, I ordered an Hirobo Sceadu EVO 50. Why not a Caliber 5? I wanted experience with another brand. Why not a AS50? According to the report and information collected, it didn't correspond to my flight expectations.

On the 12th of March, my EVO 50 is almost ready, only waiting for it's electronic and a YS50.
