RE: DD Tail Mount.
no I fly mostley in doors......would the lightend heading hold gyro work for me at heelihobby? My problem isnt really bad now....I can get it to hover in the air but then little by little the tail creaps right....I am not good enough to correct this while it is in the air yet htough.. I tend to lose alltitude when I do or I lose controll...whichever comes first.

I used to have same issue of controlling too. Either I lost altitude & crashed or lost control & crashed!
Dont give up, Justin. Keep on practicing. it will eventually get to you real soon. If you can hook up Tx to FMS, it would help getting hand-eye cordination.

RE: DD Tail Mount.
i have a flight sim but no cord to connect my tx to pc. I am excpecting my dd to arrive today. cant wait to get the bad boy in the air again. I have stopped braking landing gear every time I fly now though. Now its every 3 times I fly I break them lol. I am alot better then my buddy is whith his aerohawk though. He put the duct fan on and it wont leave the ground now dues to unballanced and when he ballences it he has to add weight to it and its too heavy lol. he is going to a plain dd style like mine soon though.l

RE: DD Tail Mount.
Thanks for the info Antrock I got the motor and the props coming to do a reverse cooling system that you have. What is it that you used to hold the motor in place? Thanks

RE: DD Tail Mount.
Benzito,
Are you asking about HH gyro? If so, I havent bought it yet. Just gather all info and save up $$$.
BTW, I'm gunning for Futaba GY240 or CSM G200.

Benzito,
Oh,ok.[8D]
You can buy DD tail motor/blades from most shops for ~$11.00. Part# GWS EDP 50XC.
For DD tail mount you can get from Mdttb's link above. (I really like his design).

RE: DD Tail Mount.
Benzito,
go to this link and towards the bottom you will se a post with the part # and drill bit sizes http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t...light=mcmaster.
i also drilled small holes on each side and used set screws instead of CA. and a hole all the way through so i can place a graphite rod so the tail blades do not hit the ground on a rough landing. also be careful not to use too much ca on the blade or it will creap into the motor and i am sure you know what happens from there.
good luck.
