Shawn is taking a nap... When I am done with each part I will STEP them out and post then for everyone. If some is using SW 07 or 08, I will email the legacy data too them.
Metieval: I have Pro/E Wf 3, CAT v5r16, SW 2007/2008 <beta tester, Inventor <beta tester> Jonny |

I'm stuck using AlphaCam now, but it don't take much to CAM out a 3 axis machine. If I could get into a job on a 5 axis and using solid modeling software I'd work for next to nothing (if I could do side jobs after hours) "IF" I can't complain though, life is good and even better with this MCX!! |

I shortened the tail boom, just a little. Not sure how much as I was sanding it shorter. So made a guess when to stop. It flew better, I thought (not really sure how it can get any better than what it is).
So then I flipped the tail fin over upside down. all was good until I did a piro. Lmao. gyroscopic behavior and then some blade smacks. Flipped the tail fin back over , and she flies again. |

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=PKZ3052 It's for the Citabria, but all recent park-flyers from HH use the same connectors. I need to get a couple more and put deans connectors on them (which is what the charger uses), but for now I'm using the alligator clips. Works great! Nate |

It has grown on me though... Like a fungus... LOL Jonny |

But what about the charge circuit that is still in the charger??? The way you are hooking things up, your charger feeds into that small circuit board. I haven't looked to see how the components there relate to the wires that go up to the battery charge jack but wouldn't they affect the operation of your external charger in some way?

You modify these chargers at your own risk. Personally, it's not worth it. E-Flite has done as good a job as they think is necessary to protect the consumer, and it's highly likely that individuals without an appropriate engineering department are not going to be able to come up with something better. If you have never witnessed a Lipo fire, I would suggest you go out to a safe place and poke one of your old Lipos and see what it's all about. It is something you definitely don't want happening in your house. In addition to the fire danger, the toxic fumes are really nasty. I do not understand why people are willing to risk this kind of danger for the small possibility of a minor increase in performance. You guys are talking about .01-.02 differences in the optimal voltage??? I'm betting this is actually beyond the measurement tolerance of your instruments, and is nothing to worry about in either case. You are risking serious safety problems doing these kind of things and I do not think it is worth it.

It doesn't even have any helicopter features beyond a 4-ch coaxial or FP. AFAIK, HH/Spektrum is NOT marketing this radio for helicopters and it is a poor choice for the mCX given it's cost well above the RTF version and somewhere below a real helicopter radio. It is a DSM2 PLANK radio. One can get the cheapo DSM2 radio in the RTF mCX version for twenty or thirty bucks more than the BNF. If one want's to get the mCX as cheap as possible, they can buy the BNF version for a hundred bucks and then get a LP5DSM used on Ebay for maybe twenty bucks tops. Either way, they are into the mCX for little cost with a low cost radio that will be application specific for the most part. There is no justification in the DX5e for coaxials for several reasons. While it is a full power DSM2 radio, this will never be an issue in CX2 or smaller coaxials unless you can fly yours at the other end of a footbal field. I know I can't. The dual rates are of no value in a coaxial and especially in the mCX where we never will want a softer cyclic than 100 percent. I'm not raining on anyone's parade, but it is an exceptionally poor choice in radios for anyone that intends to progress in the hobby beyond coaxials. And to be honest, i believe even the LP5DSM is a beter choice because it will at least accomodate a HH gyro with the ch5 knob and the DX5e will not. I hate to see anyone buy this radio that wants to fly other helicopters with it because it is very marginal in what can be controlled. Far better to stick with the RTF mCX or get the BNF version and buy a cheap LP5DSM or use an existing DSM2 radio. Regards |
