Century Bell Jet Ranger "Day Dream"

[Adrianli]

Completed tail end.

Installation of the tail gearbox with the metal rod drive shaft. First time seeing a metal rod drive shaft. It was missing the set screws to secure the metal rod to the tail so I had to get it from the screw shop. Also greased the bevel gears with lithium grease. The tail drive end is squared and there is a spacer within the tail to fit the metal rod.

Connect the servos to the flight controller and Rx. Installation of FBL head, ripped off from my TT X50E FBL. All electronics will be from my TT X50E cos it crashed and no one had the spare parts for its tail end bevel gear so it now sits quietly in the store room.

Installation of ball links and linkage rods and main shaft with swashplate. Damn old school, mCCPM setup.

[Adrianli]

Installation of servos and try fit the motor mount.

With a little bit of time, it is time for me to restart this build project and complete it. Very sad that Century Heli no longer exist and the number of R/C helicopter fliers decreasing, even more so for scale helicopters.

Lucky that I managed to get the electric conversion kit from Century Heli that time. It has been 8 years since this heli kit seen the light!!!

Now looking at which FBL system available that is capable of doing mCCPM mixing. Maybe going with full size Vbar.
