| Finally my "new" MJ2 has arrived! BUT tail boom and tail blade were missing, fly bar was bent and I'm getting the white canopy exchanged for a yellow one. Also sent my Pletti back to Germany for inspection and no damage. Schulze fixed my damanged 40.160. Two capacitors were crushed in the crash. Looks brand new again.
Anyway has anyone built an MJ2 lately? Has anyone noticed PN# 434 (spacer mainshaft) has been replaced? (not in kit) (Drawing #6) Mine came with bearings and a mainshaft collar ring. Not really positive how it's suppose to be installed but it's been installed for now.
Drawing 1, pn#94 (self tapping screw) is no longer used on the skids. I guess it's not necessary as pn#742 (clamp) holds the skids well.
Drawing 3, pn#275 (u profile), now came with the kit. Previous kit came with two pn#753s. Not that it mattered.
Drawing 7a, pn#411 (left upper frame), looks like Minicopter has fixed the curved hole problem. I placed it side by side with my older one and the holes are exact! WOW!
BUT pn #427 (swashplate control arm) was a bit tight. So I sanded the sides down a bit for free movement.
Drawing 8B, pn# 727 (motor holder) is narrower from previous. So that makes the pletti motor plate (pn#798) also narrower. BUT the pletti motor plate that came with the kit didn't fit well. I had to grind the sides down a bit for a perfect fit.
I'm using JR 8711 cyclic servos and these are huge compared to Futabas. On my Trex600 I had to sand the servo mounts a bit bigger to fit the 8711 servos. But on the MJ2 the servos fit nicely. Just got the 611 with the new BLS251 tail servo. Can't wait to try it out.
Everything that I could assemble has been assembled (tail assembly, head (no flybar). Just waiting on the rest of the parts to come in.
Here's something to look out for...
I origianally ordered a kit three months ago. To make a long story short the entire order went missing after it was cleared from customs. The order consisted of 5 MJ2 kits and I think 8 Plettis. Anyway Canada Post is looking into the matter. ...people are suspecting that someone from the inside "acquired" the goods. So be on the lookout for MJ2 and Pletti deals popping up somewhere...
