Official RotorScale UH-1A Medic Green 450 Size Helicopter Discussion Thread

Okay I am interested as an aspiring helicopter pilot/deconstruction expert.

Question:How can these be factory flown and adjusted for flight when they dont cpme with a flybarless controller?:Ligthbulb:

The first batches were 100% tested model by model with the original flight controller that was to be included with the model. However, that is no longer included and instead we recommend the Tarot though it is not included it can be found here https://www.motionrc.com/collections...ght-controller

The manual was completed but referenced the old flight controller. We working on removing those references now while adding other required information. We hope to have that manual available tomorrow. We're also working on a complete video showing the programming and setup with the Tarot flight controller. Sorry for putting the cart ahead of the horse. Since the horse is out of the barn, we're doing a little more chasing than we'd like.

I think that idea would have been given up on at the same time that the FBL controller went out the window. Unless of course it is done with the 'recommended' ZYXS2 controller - which would seem to me to be a futile exercise as this is not likely to be the FBL controller of choice for those familiar with the many other options available.

I believe this first batch was actually test flown at the factory with the original controllers, before they were pulled from the package. So, the mechanical setup should actually be close to spot on. It required very little tweaking on my test aircraft to get the mechanical setup down.

It has 2 pulleys that redirect the belt, photos are attached. For those wondering about some more detailed photos and instructions, take a look over at this thread: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...-Huey-Fuselage. The Fuselage itself is the same one shown, however the mechanics and installation have already been done by the factory.

I thought that was how they did it. However the raised tail would require a longer belt but looking at the parts list they are showing the same belt for all models

Excellent link DeltaDart - thanks. Some nice detail and info to read up on & digest. Now we are getting somewhere:Cool:

[F106DeltaDart]

How is the raised tail built.

Surely this should have been finalised before the heli went on sale? I like to study a manual as part of my pre-purchase research, as I know many others do. A half-baked manual is unlikely to inspire much confidence, given the circumstances that have already plagued this release.

I have removed that manual as it was mistakenly provided as a temporary option before the full manuals are available. My apologies.

The manuals are most definitely a work in progress.

If you guys don't mind, please post the questions and answers publicly so other members can benefit from the information.

[F106DeltaDart]

Maybe I'm out of line here but.......... you call that a manual? :Confused: I'd say that's a April fools joke gone bad.

If you have any questions, just shoot me a PM or post them here. I have one in hand so I can go through it and get whatever info you need to get it flying.

[Aros]

[handyman220]

The manual for the UH-1 has been added...We are continuing to work on the others...

Thanks for the fuselage link F106DeltaDart. Appreciate the quick reply on the manual link Aros.MotionRC.

Looking forward to getting this and trying my hand at a fun scale bird. Those 3d printed parts also look great for later customization.

[Aros]

Sorry about the manual issue, we are looking into it...

[F106DeltaDart]

Can we please get the link to the manual (under 'Support') tab corrected?

Hoping to read up a bit on the mechanics and fuselage assembly/disassembly.
