    PH2T shaft is 2mm or could be 2.3mm (which is a STD size for these heli motors)
    its a 180 size motor a 1:18 pinion should go onto the shaft if you grind the shaft for a grub screw (standard pinions are pressed on)
    if you want a servo driver i have a UBER tiny one here (from a HS55) if you want it?
    if you want to see it in action i still have a spare diff ill see if i can get it aligned better and see if it will survive, more than a rev out to WOT,

    12A RX2 (nice car :D)
    ok gear rear diff and no bearings could contribute also make sure to get the steering trim straight (drive it up and down twaking it each time till its straight)

    the 2 motor one is a airhogs areoace/siverlit X twin and they are the current entry level plane, and grea tfun and you can tweak them to be quite decent flyers the microflyer is rubbish the wattage rockie is better but needs more room
    after that you can either build your own or buy a plantraco butterfly or similar, the 240USD price tag on the butterfly is acctually quite reasonable when you work out what you get in them, i have just built a sub 10g model which cost me a fair bit less, and with similar characteristics, except not in a nice neat package and a fair bit heavyer also i had to do alot of electronics work for the ESC actuators etc and calculating out how much of what can go were..
    if you have lots of money you can go sub gram, im pretty sure the lightest known is .7g flying weight pretty sweet

    build it, totaled the rear end on a test rev, then put the motor back into a heli, not worth the total destruction of countless iwaver rear ends

    betty, are these the really tiny ones that some one posted a link to a while back? hows she fly? the counter rotating style helis are normaly pretty stable

    lol dave i remember my first FP heli flight, got it to about head heght and then it came right for me. i suggest filming from afar but first timers on a heli (with no sim) is always quite funny

    you sure you got the wires to the right places on you prototype that circuit looks pretty good at a glance 4V out should still be enought to open the Transistors furthenough to switch the realays, ill look at tha data sheets this arvo to see if thats right, odds are its a silly thing like a reverse polarised diode or somthing? if your 100% sure it all good check voltages after R1 R3 R5 R7 and if there below they switching voltage then tear out R1 R3 R5 R7 and see if that helps but once again will have to look at the data sheet

    also there are better cicuits to use, microcontrollers are much better sinking than sourcing might look into that?

    Mate, ATM some of the boys on ausrc are talking to the council about abit of land. nothing “official” yet. but the 3rd meeting they should come out with what the council wants, soon there should be a official show of hands (will be via some form of paperwork or mass email in or something to show the coincil the people want it)

    one way VR front spool depends on your driving style i always droped tie using a one way and put time on with a spool, although one way does make it easyer to spin the car so take ur time and get used to it

    yeah i got into winding motors and such. very hard work to get them spot on but recently have been winding bit sized brushless motors (well trying to) for planes. that a PITA teh wire is thinner than hair. but i deffently like the slooted armature. the only other thinkg i would like to see is more advanced bell ends with adjustable timing
