Well you know how to tune a gasser so maybe you need to check for air leaks around carb. If you spray a light spray of water when the motor is running it will suck it in and slow the motor, an air leak will cause it to lean and run hot and loss power! (I'm sure you now this and may have already checked.)

 Next I would pull the carb apart and check the internal screen filter.

The tail, disconnect the gyro and connect the tail servo to the receiver and check operation if all is well then it’s likely the gyro. Some older gyros when they are in heading hold they have a tendency to go all the way in one direction until it has a direction to correct. But stick movement should move the tail.

Gassers are great helicopters but a little harder to set up.

Can you check and see what the model number is on the Carb?

What filter do you have on it?

What spark plug did you put in and what colour was the old one?

I have a limited experience with gassers but I would love to see you in the Air!

I'm sure I have one.

It's all FUN

Raymond, I try very hard not to speak at the brand names, I'm a field rep for Century and Mark is a field rep for Raptor, you can approach either of us or both, we can let you fly our helicopters on a buddy box system and have fun.

Most helicopters including the entry level ones from both Thunder TIger and Century will do anything the pilot wants to, setting one up is not a problem for Mark or me  regardless  of the brand!

Field REP's are here to support the hobby and their products the REP for!

Please feel free to approach anyone in the club and get help, we are all willing!

Charles

If you already have a 6 channel you can keep flying with there is ways around it. I don't us a governor, my preference you will just have to set up your nitro like you have your 450.

Parts are always a concern that is why we suggest flying what others in the club fly they will usually be able to help get you back in the air and after a short period of time as you know you will have the parts on hand you need a ie: a crash kit and a few parts.  Raptor, Align, and Century are all safe helicopter to fly lots of flyers and parts. (Sorry if I missed any brands) way up here in St. Albert I'm out of touch so if I missed a brand or field rep please post.

If I can't find parts there is an on line store in BC that is good

Try to support the local scene first that will encourage them to stock the product

Well it sound like it's time for a bigger either a 30 or 50. a 30 you can run wood blades to reduce the cost of crashes. and depending on the motor a 30 is a lot less to run for fuel. The brand is up to you that should depend on the support and parts you can get. Mark (woodchopper) is a Rep for Raptor and I'm a rep for Century.(Charles) Sorry guys I'm not sure who is reping the other brands so please post here.

There is lots of entry level 30 and 50 size helicopters  and you will crash and rebuild long before you reach their limitations. The whole purpose is to get a heli that you spend more time in the air and you are not afraid to fly it.

There is lots of good helicopters out there. Tell us a little more about the kind of flying you are doing with the 450? What kind of radio do you have?

Is there INDOOR Flying March 12

Charles

Lipo batteries are a class D fire  A good ABC dry chemical extinguisher would put out everything that is on fire and just leave the Lipo fire and a little sand would stop the chemical chain reaction and that should control the battery fire

Brian I did some checking on RR and the general speed all are saying to use is 2500, When we were at the indoor what was the speed of your 450?

I will have to check out what mine is and compare.

I did get the 250 set up on the DX6i and the test fling was good so yours should not be a problem.

We will get yours tamed down to a nice feel.

Charles

Well the indoor was a lot of fun but old faithful my 250 tried to to occupy a small space already occupied and did not win.

Good news it's back together and I already had a test flight in the basement and ready for round 2!

Charles

Kevin are you going to have the HD video set up for next weekend?

Kevin how come you always have all the cool toys?
