I was completely wondering about head and tail rotational direction on those multi rotor head builds, looks like alot of people spin the works backwards to normal. So my main question on that to is if its somthing mechanically inherent and required for the head design or strictly a scale thing to be correct.

Well on some head designs to get the correct phase and not binding you need flip the grips for clearance. But as far as the rest goes I think its just a scale thing.

I can see that, ive been researching it some and plan on doing a build .. the phase thing looks like a pain and from all i can tell even with the 'flapper' head or whater its called it just about needs an electronic flybar to tweak the settings and phase to fly good .. i wont be content to scoot around in a near hover without one .. but i just dont know really, but sounds like it might be a little pricey

A very short video to show the lights.

why do we do that!!!! I've crashed on a test hover, because of something that I knew wasn't 'right' but that's not the part I was testing, but of course that is the part that leads to a crash!!!

Here's my small fleet, Though soon to be depleted as the MSR and the TT Innovator Expert are soon to go, leaving me with just the Mikado Logo 400 and the Hirobo Quark. That's all I will need in future, I would rather get to know two helis well than twenty helis a little.

Haha, no kidding. And the thing is, I never intend to do more than get them a few feet into the air & set them back down right away. But doggone it, the trims were just sooo close 1st time up on this one, I couldn't help myself. Busted one skid mount - I wanted Super-Skids on it anyway...
