here, just to share what a 45 degree flybar response looks like on a 4#3 walkera heli;

The only non-stock parts on my 4#3A nowadays are 4#3Q blades. I do have an AeoRC brushless conversion which I'm going to try after it's current brushed motor finally dies, but the new motor and esc/converter together, only weigh 1g more than a stock brushed motor so hopefully won't affect flight characteristics too much. The Walkera bl motor and esc are considerably heavier.
I don't see the point in a bl tail motor either. As long as the tail can handle the power of the main motor and the weight of the heli, it's good enough. Again, upgrading will add a lot of weight. I recently bought a bunch of stock tail motors just in case they stop making them. ![]() Most of the parts on my 4#3A and B are original, although I replaced the head on my 4#3B 18 months so ago due to wear, but I've never actually broken any part of it, same with the 4#3A. Tail booms are probably what breaks the most, skids bend but can be bent back into shape, and I've broken a few blades. Never had to replace anything electronic apart from motors. One of the servos on my 4#3B even has a hole in the side but it still works ![]() Only problem with the 4#3A nowadays is finding one. The only supplier I know of who still has some in stock is rchobbyhelicopter.com http://www.rchobbyhelicopter.com/sto...RC_Helicopters Dusty |

Haha I can believe that. I bought my A just because I liked the B so much. If there hadn't been an A I would probably have bought another B, but I'm so glad there was
![]() The names are kind of strange though (which is nothing unusual for Walkera) since as I remember, the B came out first. You would have thought the first one would have been called the A. They should have called them the 4#3Ace and the 4#3Bling ![]() Dusty |

I think I was one of the first to try the "A" parts...the price was the attraction and found them better than the metal. I practically had to twist arms convincing my friends to even try 'em.
Maybe that's why the "A" came out after the "B"??? I need to knock the dust off mine...been messing around with ufo#8s and 4#6's. I wonder if I can even fly them any more. Bill |

The original 4#3 might have been a bad flyer, but IMO that just means it takes a bit longer to learn. On any heli, you can't just move the sticks and have it respond exactly. So your brain learns the actual inputs required. Same for the 4#3 but your brain will have to learn a bit more.

![]() What problem do you have with your 4G3s tail boom? The only problems I have with mine are when I crash. Even then it's by far the most robust CP heli I have. Dusty |

I suppose that's true; it will do whatever it will do, based on its design. What I mean is it does other things too. For example flying forward then turning. You can't just move sticks, hold and hope it works. More to the point, you can't push a 'turn' button that translates your thought into a helicopter movement. (Using your fingers though to push it is a feat of learning in itself, however). Also, stick motion only roughly approximates corresponding motion of the helicopter (e.g. physically moving L rudder stick doesn't somehow naturally equate to yawing).
None of which says anything too insightful except 'bad flying heli' is just one more technique to learn, like nose-in, or anything else ![]() |
