4G6 / 4#6 pitchslider, chinese weights preview

February 20th, 2010 RobZULU 1 comment

Just got some very nicely machined parts from Hardy, including the new pitchslider and plastic baldegrips inlays. Now there absolutely no play in the pitchslider anymore. Here is a video of the double-bearing pitchslider, i also have a single bearing version which is lighter but has a little bit of play due to the use of only one bearing.

I have also installed chinese weights on the bladegrips which reduce the force needed to pitch the tailblades dramatically.

Flexible driveshaft for the 4G6/4#6 tail

February 1st, 2010 RobZULU No comments

If you’re into scale-ish looking submicro helis this is for you: Nanoheli (nanoheli.net) is developing a flexible shaftdrive solution for the tailrotor of the Walkera 4G6 / 4#6. The flexible shaftdrive is designed for the scale-ish bodies that nanoheli is offering. Also just announced is the Sikorsky S-61 Sea King body from Nanoheli.
First pics of the flexdrive shaft look promising, but we don’t know yet how the servo linkage is going to work. Lets see what Nanoheli will come up with.
