GAUI 330X Quad-Flyer S Version supplied now

GAUI 330X Quad-Flyer S Version supplied now

£292.00 / €347.48

Upgrade:
S VERSION nOW SUPPLIED
*GAUI 10A ESC X 4
*SCORPRION Brushless Motor 1050KV X 4




330X was designed based on UAV , which emphasizes
the advantages are:

1.Flight Efficiency: Standard Battery
(2S2000mAh) time of flight for more than 12min, with a high-capacity battery,
the flight time will be more than 20 min or more
(available spreadsheet calculation)
2.Excellent wind resistance: the efficiency and load of propeller are perfectly optimized,
so the wind resistance will be better than general electric aircraft High stability:
contains GU344 (three-axis stabilizing system)for the beginner or the FPV flying,
it is a very stable Vehicle.
3.Additional payload capabilities: payload up
to 700g (including battery), can freely install
cameras and video recorder, and other general
system.
4.System Extensibility: can be used with GPS
positioning system and navigation system on
330X without any change
5.Operation mode and flight characteristics with
the same helicopter, but no complex transmission
6.Collapsible body design, greatly reduce the damage rate,Which can be repaired
easily without adjustment.
About the sport and beginner mode, we had indicated it on instruction
manual, in fact, we have 2 flying mode for the 330X, one is Cruise Mode "CRU" for experienced
pilots, in this condition, the 330X will be very similar to normal helicopter, and another one is
Hover Mode "HOV" for beginner to pract in hovering.

Let me explain it clearly, in the Hover Mode, the heli will not go forward if you release the
control stick to let the stick back to the neutral position, it means that even if you fly forward
with some speed, the heli will stop moving in very short period of time and then hover in the
position it is, but if you fly it in the Cruise Mode, the 330X will keep moving forward some
distance even if you release the control stick to let it back to neutral position, it is similar
to helicopters that it is still going to the direction where it used to be.

I do not mean the 330X is able to hover by itself in Hover Mode, the only difference between those
2 modes only can be feel in moving, especially in fast moving the 330X in the air.

Product Review Flylock Flybar Locking Tool

Product Review Flylock Flybar Locking Tool

Includes
The lock and leveler tool is made of blackanodized CNC machined components. You bolt the bridge directly to the head block using an aluminum nut. The two vertical scales sit on the flybar to keep it locked and bolt to each side of the bridge. There is also a pointer that bolts directly to the flybar used to help level the swash.

Features
The main feature of the tool is the way it's threaded in the hole located in the center of the head block. This allows it to be used on a wide range of helicopter brands, such as the entire Align lineup (including the 450), the Miniature Aircraft Stratus and others with the threaded hole, the JR Vibe products, the Hirobo EVO 90, and many more. When threaded into the head block, it has two arms that lock the flybar simultaneously. When adjusting your pitch, that flybar stays rock solid. The standoff on the bridge contains small notches and is a small diameter, so it can be used on all helicopters ranging from 450's and up. Not only does it level your swash but also it is also capable of detecting static CCPM interaction.

Putting it To Use

Flylock
For the most part, the whole contraption went onto the helicopter without a hitch. Initially, looking at all the components left me a little confused and I found myself questioning such a tool. However, once I read the instructions it turned out to be much simpler than it appeared. The flybar locking capabilities are pretty straightforward. Place your bridge horizontally to the flybar and bolt it down to the head block. Apply the two scales the bridge loosely at first, then adjust your flybar until it's perpendicular to the main shaft, then go ahead and tighten it down. You can then use the scale lines to make sure your flybar is straight. Once finished, you can then check your pitch using your trusty pitch gauge. The tool performed as advertised and kept the flybar on lockdown with absolutely no complaints.

Swash Plate Leveling
The instructions require that you apply a small wire to the end of the bridge and use a paperclip as an example. I followed sonix's advice and cut a piece of a paper clip and applied it to the bridge. You then secure the wire using a 2.5mm set screw. Once your wire is secure, you then apply the pointer to the flybar and line the tip up to the wire but not touching.
Now, spin the head but remember where the tip of the pointer is relative to the wire, if it moves at all your swash is not level. The instructions states that the tool checks for any slop in the setup so gives a tip to "pre-load" your control system by making one of the main blades lag or lead a little. With no slop, you should be able to detect very small changes for perfect fine-tuning.
The interaction test consists of checking the level at high pitch, low pitch, and mid pitch. Initially, the tool showed very minor adjustments because our swashplates were pretty centered but not quite perfect. I played with settings a bit and watched how it worked in different extremes. Overall, the tool is quite effective and worked as advertised.

Conclusion
This tool is perfect for anyone who loves to fine tune their helicopters for absolute perfection. It's a good investment for the sheer fact that it kills two birds with one stone. Initially, it may come off as a complicated tool, but proved to be quite simple and effective. This tool is a great investment to anyone who wants to be sure that their setup is accurate to the max.

How it Works Flylock Flybar Lock Tool

How it Works Flylock Flybar Lock Tool

How it works

As a flybar lock only.

The bridge is bolted to the head center block parallel to the flybar. The standoff allows it to sit level on the head, even if the head has a slight radius. The vertical scale is bolted to the end of the bridge loosely. The flybar is adjusted so that it is perpendicular to the main shaft. The scales are then tightened. Check the scale lines and adjust so they are the same on both sides. Now the flybar is locked in position and you can use your pitch gauge to check the pitch. No need for levels.

As a swashplate level.

Insert a piece of wire into the end of the bridge. I like to use a piece of a paperclip, but you can use any kind of wire. Use the 2.5mm set screw and the supplied Allen wrench to secure the wire.

Turn on your transmitter and receiver, then attach the Pointer to your flybar, lining it up with the wire, but not touching it as in the second picture above. Now rotate the head. Note the position of the pointer in relation to the wire. If your swashplate is level, the pointer will not move. The accuracy of this procedure depends on how slop free your control system is. You can "pre-load" the control system by setting one of the main blades to lag or lead just slightly. With no slop, you should be able to detect very small changes. To check for interaction, simply check for level at high pitch, center pitch and low pitch.

When you are finished, replace your head button, or do as I do and leave it off. On most machines, the blade grip is free to rotate from one side of the head to the other without the head button in place. In the event of a crash the pitch arm won't hit anything and will probably survive. No guarantee on that.

You can level your helicopter (not necessary unless your pitch gauge requires the machine to be level) using a bubble level vial and the groove in the bridge. Lay the vial in the groove. Move the blades so they are parallel with the tail boom. Put shims under the landing gear until the bubble is centered. Rotate the head 180 degrees. If the bubble isn't centered, split the difference. Rotate 180 degrees again to be sure the bubble is in the same position. Now rotate the blades 90 degrees and follow the same procedure. When you are finished, the bubble should stay in the same position as you rotate the head. If so, the main shaft is now vertical.
