Custom built 130x

Post by Superbad »

Here is my custom built 130x
Not one stock part on this little money pit . The only part that looks stock is the 3n1 board but is not its been upgraded to handle the servos
So what Im going to be doing to it NOW is to take the 3n1 out and put in a Mini K-Bar FBL unit and see if I can make it fly like it should LOL

Dont know if I would call it that LOL
I just like to tinker and make stuff work
I have built a 150 version last year with a clone beast X and it was okay but just couldnt get the feel right in the out dated FBL unit
The K-bar I think will work Good being fully adjustable to what I need

Did not even think of overall size. Yep size can be an issue. I hope the vibrations can be isolated well enough to get good flights.

Well went to start wiring things up and found I have a bad jitter in one of the servos .
Not good these are 30.00 servos that are made of unatainum ( as in you cant get them )
Would explain the head shake it was getting with the old 3n1

That sucks mate, is that with the Kbar settings setup too? I recall having probs with my servos but had the Kbar set to the wrong type of servo..just a thought!!

You going to replace the servo or just move on? That's expensive for a servo.

oh wow! That is some dedication I sold my 130x off to a friend. I picked up a 180cfx flew it for 5 min and then packed it back up and returned it lol. I am out of micro helis for good now I think. They are just to easy to get sucked into and tinker with. :)
