I like to deal with Heli Direct they have it nailed. Aeropanda is also very good. If they show it not in stock, then its not in stock! And vice versa.

I ordered the USB connector for my power box and also ordered this thing called a "teleconverter". I read the manual and didnt see either one of those mentioned so I may have over purchase. I got some work ahead of me to get all this setup. The RXs plugged right in and I got it up and running, very exciting.

FWIW, I used AMP connectors from Aeropanda. Those one-clicks serve the same purpose so they should be great.

What is this crap?

Im going to do an ace hardware hack job on a 10k jet? Srs carf has gone downhill its very sad. For $30 but I can get some nice turnbuckels from secraft they should be able to provide them for what they charged.

Are you guys using these?

I have in certain occasion…and that work fine, I like the left/right hand one better since I can adjust them without taking the one on the bolt off….

A quick question for the 210G4 owners, does your turbine make a low hum noise at 50% or more throttle? I sent a vid to kingtech they said they couldnt hear it, I can hear it on my tv or with my headphones. Phones not so much, first few seconds of this vid:

Or end of this vid:

Trying to decide if I should pay inspection fee and send it back. Ive had several KTs even my wife noticed it sounds odd.

Finally assembling mine now. Im seeing that the front gear in some cases is mounted on top of the former, and in other case on the bottom of the former. I assume underneath gives a better AOA for take off or something?

‘All I can say it’s supposed to be mounted under, but since it a little more work some don’t…the one I build is mounted under and has been flying great, in it 3th seasons

Manual states the nose gear should be mounted from the bottom. Yes, it’s a pain to get to the screw heads. At the suggestion of Dansy, I used lock nuts in place of the supplied blind nuts. A ball driver can be used from below while the nuts are tightened from the top. Very easy and thanks again Dansy

Definitely mount from the bottom. Lock nuts are much easier to do than blind/T-nuts but it still takes patience and a few diet cokes to get it done.

Very clean install.
Where do you buy the grommet you have used for the wires going thru the top? Do you have a link?

The grommets are designed and 3D printed by myself.

I found a great source and used them in my Rebel. Jonathan is a great guy to top it all off. https://www.thelightersideofrc.com/3d-parts

Am the the only one? My gear controller caught on fire. Fortunately on the ground. I went out to maiden, did a test on the gesr and once of the wasnt working. Figured something came unplugged so I used the other gear to thest wiring, got one cycle and then that one quit working. Front never quit working. I could smell hot eletronics and the SMOKE. Lots of it.

Using a 2s lipo. I had cut the gear wires of coruse to add my connectors to take wings off, but from my understanding even if I reversed them the gear would just cycle backwards. Im confused as they were working well before leaving the house though I thought I smelled something hot but I have a lot of motorcycles that smell carbony.

Ill see if the company screws me but can I use these struts with air retracts?

I believe the question is it, GS 200 or the new 200pro controller that created white smoke?

The GS200 I had set up with my 50R electron is work great, no issues

How do you think the pro will perform with a JC Rhino 200 at a filed elevation of 6k? That “should” be a loss of around 18% yielding a sea level equivalent of a 165. I would like to stick with JetCentral but don’t really wanna go all the way up to the 250.

Brain so I've talked with Mike McConville, and the Max and Pro have a large diameter pipe and can handle a large engine.

With my Pro I using a 240 Swiwin as I'm flying at 3400' and yes about loss at 15-18% from sea level but very thin air.

A few guys are using 200 size at or near sea level and it's okay but I would use a 240-250 as it's easier with a large engine.

I can get the rb45 in the USA, looks like it will work since we dont need sequencers or gear doors, I wont have the gyro braking I dont care.

Think it will work?
