My Homemade Helicopter Starting Wand (shaft)
Fits any rubber aircraft field starter (Hobbico, ect)

Bought a Mastercraft spade bit extension 12" approx
it had a quick release end that tapers on the one end
on the other was a torx that is the same width as any torx style removable screwdriver bit

I carefully filled the sides of that end to get beteen 5.5 to 6 torx size

The tapered end (quick realease end) fits and grabs the rubber perfectly on my 12v field starter

The Homemade wand fits inside the torx hole on my Webra .35 Nitro Perfectly!!

And It's outside I go in the morning to try my heli

-Update
The chuck end was not big enough
I added a stubby rubber philips screwdriver to the chuck end and it works ok
However my 12v starter is just to worn to crank the new webra long as it has great compression
So I need a new starter before i can break in the engine

just an attempt to catch the maiden mishaps from onboard lol

will post maiden video here when im done

In a trade recently I got a ACE RC GT5 Flybarless Gyro & Walkera Dragonfly #36
Need some parts or work but something for a project on a rainy day

Added pic of flight controllers ,gyros ect

Frday my right angle 3 row (servo) connectors came in
I figured it was time to put them to use on my FC's, starting with the KK

So far its working out well...more to come when im finished

If I only had a solder sucker or some desoldering braid make the job quicker

Added Finished Pics

Ordered a flight controller today and some other parts

- Added a programming option for disabling low voltage limit, and made it default for MULTI
- Added programable demag compensation, using the concept of SimonK
- Improved robustness against noisy input signal
- Refined direct startup
- Removed voltage compensation
- Miscellaneous other changes

And a lot of escs have been added:
- RCTimer 6A ESC / RCX 6A

Spektrum

The Spektrum trainer port only gives either PPM-in or PPM-out, not both at the same time.
There's no power supply from the port and channels from the trainer can not be reassigned in a Tx menu.
Spektrum DX6i trainer: Inverted 6ch PPM, 3.0V idle, 0V active. 22ms fixed frame-length. 400us peaks. Signal width spans at least 930-1930us.
Insert trainer plug when Tx is off to output PPM (trainer).
Start the Tx first to input PPM (master).
When sending PPM to the Tx, at least 6 channels must be present (6-9 verified to work).
Frame length must be shorter than approx. 28ms.

heres a neat project thread
http://blog.jaspervanloenen.com/

Heres my E-OSD Conversion To an CL-OSD (E-OSD GPS)

Took a while to get my windows working right to program the flash
quite a bit of reading and asking questions here

Ive posted various precompiled configs here for NTSC and links to PAL ones too

It's turned out quite well for a $13.13 OSD from HobbyKing that now has support for gps, and many more functions after the flash and some soldering

Planning on using my EM406A Gps Module
That Features:
• 20-Channel Receiver
• Extremely high sensitivity : -159dBm
• 10m Positional Accuracy / 5m with WAAS
• Hot Start : 1s
• Warm Start : 38s
• Cold Start : 42s
• 70mA at 4.5-6.5V
• Outputs NMEA 0183 and SiRF binary protocol

Dimensions:
• 30mm x 30mm x 10.5mm
• 16g including cable

Finally figured I would give the KK2.0 a try
Everything came today packaged in a box from hobbyking

Removed wire harness for esc's
Added a Power distribution board

Mounted the KK

need to do something about the top plate as with the pins on the KK it wont attach ,they should be optional right angles available

possibly changing them to right angles if i cant get longer standoffs

Update ------> Finally Changed Standoffs

I have had these for sometime
Dont know what they are really or who makes them
I would assume they are motor mounts
If you have seen them used somewhere I would love to see them in use

Recent pics of the hobby shanty
we use it to build & store rc gear and watch movies outside of the house
so far the projector has came down as the room has shrunk and we lost the wall space
going to need to build more storage lol


Receiver sizes??? why are some so big?
see pics

As the title says.....Need I say more!

lol
