I bought the heli used off of the Canadian Heli flying champion, Scott Gray. This heli is fully blinged.
A lot of custom modifications done.
|
|
An awesome paint job done on the canopy.
|
|
I've bought a spare canopy as a replacement in case the unthinkable happened. There's a lot of work involved in
painting a canopy so it's better to have one in reserve just in case.
|
|
Unlike the previous helis, this heli uses push-pull systems throughout. With huge servo wheels all around.
|
|
The engine is a special "limited" edition O.S. 90 with Hyper Head. This engine has a serial number "003" on it. A truly
unique engine.
|
|
The head is much beefier than the head on the Voyager 50. Pretty much everything is either steel or aluminum. Not much plastic in here.
|
|
The extended servo tray, barely fits into the canopy. It's a tight fight as it is.
|
|
The "Team JR" sticker adorns the tail boom. Unfortunately it'll unlikely survive the first "accident".
|
|
Reinforced tail fin, you can barely see it but it's there. Prevents damaging vibration.
|
|
Can't have a powerful heli without Kurti's Muscle Pipe. I hear that engines are a pain to setup with this pipe, but well worth it in the end.
|
|
Apparently this heli has a fan mod that makes it sound "different" in flight. Not sure what that entitles, will definitely find out
during the spring fun fly when I get a chance to compare it to other helis.
|
|
You can see the new JR6000T gyro. Apparently is quite a step up from the 5000T. With incredibly fast response time it's supposed to eliminate
tail wagging.
|
|
The ultra high speed servo needs to compliment the high speed Gyro. It drives a rather thick carbon rod which in turn drives the tail.
|
|
The sensor for the Futaba GV-1 governor can be seen here. Setting up the governor's gonna be a task and a half. I've never done it before.
|
|
A closer look at the electronics tray. The governor and the gyro amplifier can be seen here. A hefty 2700mAh NiMh battery pack
drives the system. The heli came without a receiver but I already secured a 9 channel JR receiver shortly after I bought the heli.
|
|
The plastic tail boxes is only one of very few plastic items on the heli.
|
|
The carbon fibre tail stab is not a stock item, will have to see if I can preorder another one as a spare.
|
|
The heli uses fly bar weights for more stable control. Will prolly take em out at some point to get more response. I think for now
i'll leave them, I expect this heli to be much more responsive than the 50 even with them on.
|
|
The Hyper Head clearly visible here. I've never operated an engine with a built in pump. Will need to learn :)
|
|
The main gear can be seen here. Unlike my previous helis this one has a wire driven tail where the Voyager and Venture were belt driven.
