Heiney TDX/HDX500 SAH on deck ! - Page 280

takiss · Nov 07, 2009, 09:04 AM

Hi lonelasso.
I just flew it 4 times and left it.
Do I have to upgrade the frame? No other option?
I have the silver frame HDX V2 and I just finished the setup (servo changes, all wirining, setup etc). It took me 2 days and its perfect right now.
If you think that this is the best, please be so kind to inform me what to buy.
Helidirect and Xmseller if I remember...
Thanks for pushing me to do the right thing.

Hi Dave.
"Hi Takiss !
Quick 'answer'....upgrade the frame to accept 140T main gear"

I replied immediately and didn't see that my frame accept bigger main gear.
So I have to buy 140 T main and 12 T pinion is OK or I have to use other pinion?
2 X 3S parallel is OK?
Thanks once more
Takis

I actually enlarged my frame with dremel and a file

Not very 'pretty', but it worked. I don't recall which pinion I'm using Takiss ? Maybe search this thread for pinion ?

I tried a test run and motor ends up hot.
Am I doing something wrong with this configuration?
Thanks for helping

Hi takiss
Something I do'nt understand :
Scorpion 3026-10 -> kV 980 RPM/V
3S || connection (2x1200 mAh LiPo is not much) -> 11.1 V
12T pinion & 04T gear -> 11.1*980*12/94*0.9 = 1250 RPM headspeed.
The bird cannot fly with this low speed.

I have 2 4S 2200 mAh || connection, the same motor and 21T pinion and 94T stock gear to get 2400 RPM (mesured Eagletree) headspeed.

A+

who needs one of these complete without a gyro and rec?..I have one ive had no luck selling and alot of parts and metal upgrades,including a new tail assy......6s controller and the bigger gears black and white ones....let me know......Bruce

Hi.
I made my home work and found that I followed Booger and Lonelasso advice and bought this motor.
Booger used to run this one on stock gear, 12 T pinion, 2 X 3S 2200 in SERIES.
I recall that with this configuration I flew this heli (March 2008). I left it and now that I try to fly it again, I realized that the motor runs hot and I wonder if I have to change the power/gear configuration.
I see that this motor runs up to 5S, 6S LiPos is safe?
Is it better to go with 140T main gear and waht pinion?
T summarize, with this motor, what main gear/pinion/LiPo is the best?
One last(!) question.
I didn't manage to get more then 10 deg, even using th lowest hole in main shaft.
Is available any longer man shaft?
Thanks for helping

I believe the newer alum center mast allowed for more pitch etc..Bruce

My memory is shaky, but seems like I'm using a 14-15T pinion with the 130T main gear. I'll have to dust mine off and check

I did go with a Scorpion motor, but can't even remember which.

I still have the original Heiney Head.

It has a flybar though...and I'm flying flybarless now.

Here's what the Heiney Head morphed into though. It's a beautiful piece of machinery...if I do say so myself.

Actually, this is on my HDX frame right now.
