  RC Electric Helicopter Question         


Author: Ted
Date: May 3, 2008 15:40

I have a Wasp V3 and had a minor crash. There are two connecting rods
that connect the main rotor blades to SOMETHING. I can't figure out
what. I have called the distributor and they are Chinese and can
hardly speak english so they are no help. The manual shows an exploded
view but no connection data. I went to RC Universe but can't figure
out how to post a question there. I know I sound dumb as a rock and
probably am when it comes to helis so can can anyone offer any advice
on where to go to get data on this bird?

  Re: How can I charge a 12V Car Battery?

Hi guys one way out of charging 12volt lead acids is to buy a split
charger box. caravan owners use these to top up a second battery. That
way its always topped up and if you use quick release clips and a tote
tray its just a minutes job to unplug and take to the field. Its always
charged in the car no real extra expense. I have been doing it for
years, always have it available and as never failed me. I don,t use it
so much now for soaring or heli flying. But this system never failed me
when i was heavily into car racing. But its there and i have even topped
up transmitter packs from it on a long days flying. regards to all

  Li-Poly Battery Chargers         


Author: Ted
Date: May 2, 2008 09:57

I just bought two RTF birds, one Heli and One jet. They both came with
chargers that will charge 2 or 3 cell batteries and are labeled as
"balanced".. One is DC and the other is AC/DC . The input voltage and
output amperage is equal on both. The AC charger is much faster than
the DC charger and I would like to use it on both battereis. Is this
Safe?

Please?

On the fuselage, the bottom strut that begins at the tail, and ends up
at the front of the plane, is SPLICED... from BASS, to BALSA. I
assume that it is to ease the bending that's required. The balsa
continues on, and I don't know where it terminates....!

C-2 shows as a part to be attached...but is it to be attached to the
bottom balsa strut? Or does the front of the fuselage finish
without a 'CLOSING" piece, to be closed up when the two sides are
joined? Or better, what needs to be added before I un pin and lift
the fuselage side from the wax paper? Superimposing details upon
details makes it so difficult to visualize.

Also, I never noticed that the kit included just a few pieces of 3/16
Bass, but lots of 3/16 Balsa. So I built one side with all bass,
except for the balsa splice piece. Now I have to make the second side
the same way! Any MAJOR problem there? Why would they ever include
more Bass than Balsa???
Thanks so much! When I gain experience and finish this model
airplane, I might be in positiion to help others. And I will!
