GAUI 330X Quad-Flyer S Version supplied now
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.

 3DX 500 SE / SAH /SAS Flybarless ConversionWe recently converted a Standard 3DX500 SDE head to a Flybarless version as the picture bears witness. It is pretty easy to do yourself as long as you have access to a drill and tap to drill the UGL-09 Item fixing it to the main shaft. |

 Flybarless FAQ'sPilots report longer flight time and more power gain but still there are FAQs. |

 T Rex 500 Std Head to Flybarless ConversionWe thought this article from RC Heli was worth mentioning for T Rex 500 pilots looking to go Flybarless at a minimal cost. click here and read the article on T Rex 500 Conversion |
 Removing Tight ScrewsWe have all had a screw that is hard to get out. You know, the one we used that thread locking compound on so it wouldn't come out when we are flying. Sometimes those screws have to be removed to get to a bearing, or just for a good overhaul of the helicopter. Use your soldering iron to loosen up the thread locker without heating up a big area. Just press the tip of the soldering iron on the screw you are removing for about 15 seconds. This is enough heat to liquefy the thread lock and allow you to remove it with ease. Only use this tip on a metal to metal connection, not near plastic components that might melt or elongate from the heat. |
 Cooling FanSome electric models run just a little hot, and it may not always be practical to add a heat sink. If the power system is getting warm and there is minimal airflow, one option is to run a cooling fan to keep the temps in check. There are 5-volt computer fans available, although they may be hard to find. Another source is the small cooling fans made for RC car speed controllers. Novak and LRP both make tiny cooling fans that work perfectly in tight spots to get the air moving. |
 Needle Valve ExtensionEngines often have provisions for a needle valve extension built right in. Sometimes the needle valve is tapped for threads so you can thread a screw into it. A hex head screw works best here because you can easily access it with a hex driver to make adjustments. If you use a screw threaded into the needle valve, be sure to use thread locking compound. This trick can help with making small adjustments easier, especially if you have a nice handle type hex driver. This tip also works great for scale helis, as a small hole will give you access with a hex driver for that hard-to-reach needle valve. |
 Locking BoltsHave you ever had a problem securing the screws that thread into plastic? Using a CA bottle can be difficult for those hard-to-reach areas. More than likely you'll have some toothpicks in your kitchen that will make your job easy. Hold the toothpick horizontally and put a drop of CA close to the middle. The toothpick will hold the CA in place until you're ready to put a drop into the hole. Tilt the toothpick vertically over the hole and touch one of the sides of the hole. The CA will drop perfectly into the screw hole, and there is no way that screw will be coming loose. |
 Remote Glow PlugMany pilots use a glow plug extension so they don't have to pull off the canopy to light the glow plug. These extensions are prone to the wire failing close to the glow plug connector after a given amount of use, rendering the unit inoperable. This handy tip will get you through until you can replace the extension. Simply strip the wire covering to expose ½ inch or so of bare wire. Pull the wire through and over the edge of some fuel tubing. The fuel tubing can then be pressed onto the center of the glow plug to make a connection. Make sure not to press the fuel tubing all the way to the base. You only want to make a connection with the center pin on the glow plug. |
 Removal of a stuck boltIf you strip a screw head, there are a few options to get it out. With either a small file or a rotary tool and a cut off wheel, cut a notch across the head of the screw. Cut the notch to fit an appropriately sized flathead screwdriver, then carefully use the screwdriver to back the screw out. If you do not have enough material to use a flathead screwdriver, you may have to drill the screw out. This is often difficult and not practical, but if you break off the head of the screw, it may be your only option short of a new part. |
 Neck Strap SafetyNeck straps are a very useful accessory. Many pilots appreciate being able to relax when flying by using support for their radios so they don’t have to hold them up; however, neck straps can get tangled during the process of getting the model started and taking it to the flight line. The biggest danger is the neck strap bumping the throttle. If you do use a neck strap, it helps to get work out a procedure and make a habit of sticking to it. One idea that works well is to not attach the transmitter to the neck strap until you have the model on the flight line and ready to fly. Another method I have seen is to hold the transmitter with a thumb across the throttle stick to prevent it from being bumped. |
 Keep a Flight LogEvery pilot should get in the habit of keeping a detailed flight log. After each day of flying you should keep track of the day's events. Indicate where you flew, the date and time, the conditions, the number of flights. Take note of head-speed, if you're running glow or gas was the engine running lean or rich? After each inspection were there any signs of excessive or premature wear? Did anything loosen up? Did you make radio adjustments? How about blade pitch, did you make any changes? What were the pitch settings. Sometimes at the field you'll come across an item of maintenance that you know that you need to perform, but you'll forget about. Or at least you'll forget until that items fails on you as you're doing an emergency auto rotation. Don't let that happen to you, keep a log. |
 Headspeed ? why is it importantHeadspeed can make a huge difference in how well your helicopter flies or whether or not you'll be able to do the hot 3D maneuvers you want to perform. For the most part the higher the headspeed, the more responsive your helicopter will be. Collective, cyclic, and tail rotor control will all be more responsive. That's why most 3D pilots favor a higher headspeed. Those looking for a less responsive, more controllable helicopter should reduce headspeed. A lower headspeed will make the collective, cyclic, and tail rotor less responsive. This is good for beginners and those who want precise hovering. Higher Headspeed = More precise control Lower Headspeed = Easier to control |
 Belt Drive FishingOn a heli with a belt-driven tail rotor, it can sometimes be tricky to get the belt all the way through the boom. Save yourself a few minutes by simply grabbing some twine or kite string to help feed the belt. 1) Drop the string through the boom, and then loop the string around the belt. 2) You can either tie the string to the belt or drop the string back through the boom. 3) Once you've got a hold of both ends of the string, simply pull the belt through the boom and you're done. Simple! |
