WTF? A/R arm MIA

I just flew thru my whole 8 cell pack and when I put in my 7 cell, I did 2 hops then checked it over to see why it wouldn't respond. Then I saw there was no A/R arm!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] I guess it just flew off!! Well, anyway, helihobby.com here I come!!(second time in two weeks!!!)

if you want trouble-free flight get Andy's arm






I just got mine today and love it(no more pin problems, flying off)..ordered another for my Hornet.

Hi,

How does this fit on the piccolo, I saw it on a Hornet but thought it would not fit on the pic so I did not buy it [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Dave.

You're correct Dave. ANdy'sarm is for the Hornet. If you want the best one for a Piccolo, i'd recommend getting one like this from Chris Rigoleth:

Yeah Chris's is nice but I quit using it on my FP Piccolo because the pin is a pain to remove. I use one of Walts Hornet main gear clips and Andy's anti-rotation...works great!


John,


Are you saying it wont work? I hope not.

that photo is SWEET! makes my broken glued taped setup look cheesy someday hope to get all those upgrades.But can you fly it? hahaha jus kiddin.

John, what's that little tube sticking out of the rotorheads mounting holes for?

that's a device called an "EZ-track" that i use with cambered blades to adjust the pitch and tracking.

That's a great idea. So you move the tube around to increase decrease pitch? I'm getting fed up that the sticky tape slips out each time I fold the blades.
Could you post a picture of how it looks off the blades.
Thanks
Paul

all it is is a simple soldering lug with the end away from the lug tapered thinner to allow you to adjust the pitch by rotating it.
here's the lug:


and here's the side view showing the taper:
