Got the CCPM setup on the Frankenheli 450. Not sure these servos are the way to go... It will not be long I think before I regret not just replacing them with EXI metal gear digital 9gm. They are not as consistent between each other and overall, though they are quick and they are strong, and they return to zero sharply. We'll shall see.
Todays challenge was that the plastic blade grips have an arm on them where the ball attaches. This made the link from the sway bar angle out quite a bit, shortening the effective distance. This made getting everything square difficult. I had to grind them down a bit to lessen the angle. I forgot to take a pre-grind pic, but here you can see that there is still a little angle between the sway bar ball and the grip link as it ascends to the grip ball. Can't grind it down much further without compromising the grip.
Spent a lot of time adjusting the swash to sway bar links to get the grips to zero pitch. You can see everything is pretty lined up.
The swash is level (the K2Heli swash leveler is in place below the swash to ensure that it didn't move as I made adjustments to the linkages). You can see the other angle in the grip links... nothing I can do about this one.
Everything is square.
These last pics show the pitch range of +10 to 0 to -10. Sometimes I would get -12, but the +10 and zero were very consistent... I think its these servos as the CCPM is set up clean.
So all I am waiting on is the new ESC I ordered and the very cool canopy I got just for Franky, and then he'll be ready to test hover!
