still waiting....

due to family and supply issues, progress has been stalled on the heli.

i'm waiting for horizon to release the spektrum DX7 + micro servos. + AR 6100. i may end up giving in, and buying all the parts separate, because i'm tired of waiting.

on the plus side, i just received a Hitec HS-50 Micro Servo to use in the tail. this little thing is tiny!

Speed: 0.09sec/60 degree
Weight: 0.2oz/6.1g.
Torque: 7.91oz-in. (0.6kg-cm)
Size: 0.8 X 0.4 X 0.8" (21 X 11 X 22mm)

one little thing, when you're mounting the servo, first center the servo... then attach the horn... then connect it to the tail rotor linkage...

if you forget to center the servo, then you gotta re-position the mount twice!

also, use the corner and edges of a business card, to ensure the rotor linkage matches the 90 degrees spec'd by the manual.
