Hi guys,
Always fun to watch the flitetest shows, I though I would share something here:
The build of my new Voodoo 600, a 3d helicopter by Stefan Plöchinger.
As the Name implies it's a 600 sized helicopter. It comes as a kit (no electronics, no blades, white canopy).
First order of business for me was to order a fusuno canopy - I was curious what they had to offer for the relatively small price of 65$.
And I was positivly surprised - because I could just tell them how I wanted my canopy to look, they photoshopped it, showed it to me, I made some changes, and then they made it and shipped it.
So the first thing (before I even had the heli) I got was this:
Fusuno Canopy for Voodoo 600 - custom made for me. I am very happy with it.
So since the heli comes "kit only" I was free in my choice of electronics.
I went with:
Jive 100 LV and Pyro 600-12 - I got them used from a fellow pilot who has converted his own voodoo to 12S.
For the swashplate servos I reused my 3 Align DS610 which I salvaged from my crashed gaui 550. - I checked the gears, everything is fine.
For the tail I got a new savöx sh-1290mg (aka Align DS650).
The fbl unit I choose is a Spektrum AR72000BX which is a BeastX MicroBeast with integrated 7Channel-Spektrum Receiver.
The Voodoo kit and alle the parts were there. Finally building could commence.
While building I followed the great detailed manual, which comes as a pdf (hence the laptop in the background).
First step is to equip the two sides of the chassi with the servos.
Then the side with only one servo is equipped with all the gears.
Even both the belts get installed before the two halfes are put together. - Yes, two belts. Tail belt and also a belt from the motor to the first gear. - This makes the voodoo sound incredible.
The pyro is installed and the two halves are connected.
Attached the optional lipo tray (nearly forgot..) and started putting the landing gear together.
