Walkera 4G6 landing gear mod for 30mm wide Zippy lipos
As the 30mm wide Zippy lipos (450, 600mAh) wont fits into the stock Walkera 4G6 landing gear i have removed the battery holder from and cut the LG in the middle of the front mounting. Drilled a second whole and used a longer screw to mount it.
Now the distance between the struts big enough for 30mm Zippys. Lipo is held by a rubber band. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but less weight than any other landing gear. Stabilty of the LG is still strong.
Walkera 4G6 landing gear modified for Zippy lipos
Hello Rob.
can I ask you a question?
I just orded a Walkera HM4#6.
Yes, the FP version.
I have not yet got the heli, and must be patience.
But can you tell me if that HM4#6 has the same build in Gyro as the HM4G6??
I am really wondering if the tail off the HM4#6 is just so tight and good steerable as from the HM4G6 as I seen on Yoy Tube movies.
Is that so? Is the Tail from the HM4#6 really tight to fly with?
Because I am used to my HM4#3B and that Tail never will be 100% tight during flight.
I like to hear from you.
Much regards, Erwin (from Holland)
Hi Erwin,
i havent tested the 4#6 myself yet. But im pretty sure the tail will perform great, just like on the 4G6. The first reports about the 4#6 sound very good, maybe take a look at RCGroups here (if youre not already on there): http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1161120
The 4#3B tail is a fixed pitch prop, the 4#6 is variable pitch, this alone make a huge difference, because a fixed pitch tail can only thrust in one direction, where s the variable pitch tail can thrust both directions. This combined with a nice gyro and you have a perfect tail.
Let me know when you get the Heli and tested it!
Rob
