Direct Drive on HB FP...direction qns

[dankoo]

Just install the DD on my FP...I did not use the GWS housing, just the motor, prop and heat sink...some noob questions:

As the original direction for the GWS housing is on opp side of the HB housing, I filed and fitted the motor in. rotation seems to be reversed cos of that...do I change the polarity to reverse this?

solder the wire oppostie lo.

Another way is to invert the tail motor connector at your 4in1.

Yes, you can invert the polarity at your DD motor, or just plug in reversed on 4in1 for tail motor plug.

I remember the propeller must be install correctly too on DD motor. The glossy surface facing the motor.

right....so reversing polarity is correct. I was told that the gloss part should face out..away from the motor...which works correctly for me....

According to installation picture of propeller for DD motor, the glossy part facing in the motor. Which one is correct?

I have tried both, and I found it is more wind thrust when glossy part facing in the motor.

Anyone can comments?

other den buyin the motor from pips, can buy from ace too rite? any idea wat the price ace selling? my motor gone case, i need replace it.

if you are using the stock honeybee frame and tail holder, then your motor will be on the left and prop will be on the right (as seen from the back)

thus the underside (glossy) surface of the prop should be facing the right, i.e. the matte surface with words 4530 facing the motor.

if you soldered your wires according to the tail boom wire color coding, you will need to turn the connector at the 4-in-1 around to reverse the polarity.

BTW, where you get the heatsink for DD motor?

I got everything from Ace as I could not meet up with Pips last thurs...

Prop + motor = $30
Heat sink = $3++, cant remember

I was wondering why the accessories does not include the super tiny allen for the screw on the tail adapter?

just tried out at void deck just now...now I realised how heavy it is...i am now tail heavy even after shifting batt forward...need to figure a way to shift further ...still trying to adjust the proportion...did not touch the gain...what is the right feel?

[detach8]

did u remove the bearings from the original tail? u need to get rid of those...

the right feel is, when you let go your rudder stick, your heli tail stays there..

[dankoo]

I took out the bearings before hand....will try to get to that...
