OK, Got my HeliArtist MD500E Fuse and my EXI450 installed today done a test Hover and all went well. The thing I found was the ESC and Batt got pretty warm in just 3 to 4 min hover. I think the trouble is the G90 servos that Iam using I pretty sure these things pull way to much voltage. So I think I will be changing them so I well gets some vid of the Heli in a hover soon and post it here for you guys to see. Any input on the Tower Pro G90 servos would great ya know if anyone thinks there is a problem with them. The hover is stable as can be, I was amazed at the diff.
Here are some pics sdjb

hmmm Didnt think to install a Processor fan?.
A guy from Colombia installed one over his ESC, cuz he is using a scale heli of a Bell 206, and it keeps the esc and the frame components more cooled.

Beautiful helicopter. Can't wan't wait to see your video. I use sg 90 servos on my Belt CP and have been really happy with them. I plan to eventually install a scale fuse on my Belt CP, so good to know we have someone with some experience.

Donnie D, Thanks man, yea I will get it figured out. Iam thinkin that I need to get a motor with a higher wattage rating cause the alpha 400 is under powered with the extra load of the fuse. or the one I have in it now may have a problem. Thats why I have not installed the windows yet going to do the lighting system also just what to get all my ducks in a row frist. The CopterX in the pics is going to get a scale make over as well I think the AS350 is the one Iam going to get for it. Like i said before the CopterX is just great it blew me away on the maiden flight just amazing as to how stable they are. everyone should get one of them they are worth every penny and then some.

Hey Fat, Just went to take a look at the Black Angel SWEEEEET. The only thing I saw was the return pully on the tail had the same kind on my MX400 and the frist troubles I had with it was that same return pulley it cut the drive belt in two. from that time on I always remove the return pulley ya dont need it away, The new Algin helis dont use them any more. And I have found that it can and will mess with your gyro.

Yea I think that Black Angel looks pretty impressive for Copter X being a new co.as such!! I will be using the head and tail rotor assembelys for a build I'm going to start this week, Its for a trade I've agreeded to for a truck!!! I'm impressed by what I can see so far and for 69 for the pair including shafts I'm thinkin it is a good deal.....

I love that color scheme on that 500 fuselage. After I get my Bell 47 done, I want to scale out my Belt CP, probably with a Hughes 500 fuse. Hope you can help me with that. Then I want to do my E-Smart probably with a Huey fuse. Eventually maybe I will do a 500 size hely as an Apache or Cobra. I love scale stuff.
