heli tips and tricks (feathering shaft, thrust bearings, and dampers part 2)

[@4300kem]

Freddy, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with your fan base. I just got into this sport about a year and a half ago. I am already flying a Blade 450x and loving the hobby. Have crashed a couple of time and been through the rebuilding process, and I have learned a little more every time. So thanks again for sharing.

Hey Freddie, Feathering shaft video is EXCELLENT

[@dilligaf1009]

been looking for this for a while! thanks! I rebuilt mine and put the blades back on wrong. then I crashed it again. Lesson learned. = )

[@berdena74]

Awesome video, wasn't sure how tight to make bolts at the end. U just confirmed, they got to be tight. Also great tip for getting the thrust bearings the right way. Cheers.

[@peterjohnson8935]

yours is some of the best explained stuff Freddy so a big thank you. happy flying.

[@RVRCAP]

Hey Freddy great vid, having detailed information of the critical components is invaluable, and like a few others I'd also like to see the tail rotor assembly as well. Keep up the good work & thanks again.

[@mYfLASK]

Freddy I can only echo everybody’s sentiments brilliant tutorial, explanation is flourless.

[@TechNoPhobiaGirl]

Great video, Freddy! Thanks so much!

[@TheDedados]

As always the best. BUT, u could use a toothpick to apply the locktight on the threads IN the SPINDLE when u assemble the 2nd side of the spindle. very useful tip

[@elxero2189]

much better way to do it rather than balancing bearings on a thread lock soaked screw for sure!

[@carlos64030]

Great video tutorials!

[@thomasnichols3677]

Dude I love your training videos.I got a flight simulator coming,can't wait to follow your videos and try it. I started with a cx2, then a mcpx,now I got a blade 400.

[@HalStaniloff]

Great video! I'm about to start a 500E DFC build - my very first "big heli" build. These videos are awesome! Can you do the tail rotor assembly next? Thanks!

[@intohelis2672]

Great Tips Thanx Freddy !!!

[@jednevada]

Awesome videos man. Good job! Would love to see you build a T-REX 700E DFC. Cheers.

[@19Silverboy82]

Thanks for your videos buddy they are so helpfull for a newbie like my self ha ha ha

[@vedasticks]

Brilliant video!!! and typical after i just finished rebuilding the head on my a 2nd hand 450 pro dfc i just got. I actually had issues getting a smooth rotating blade grips, before i took it apart there was slight play in the head, what was in the head also didnt match the manual. Looking through spares i found what looked to be the correct washers but no matter what i tried it would lock the head up tight. I think the problem is the color between the dampener and blade grip is too thick being 1.4mm instead of 1mm. The thrust bearings also showd a little play and if i used different washer on the screw it just locked them up :/ the heli test hovered fine but i think for peace of mind ill replace the blade grip bearings, thrust bearings and get the align washers as i think it had some hk 450 parts in it

[@tubeaudioslave]

great video.

[@MrMatt30987]

Love your vids. What would the result be if there was outward pull or play?

[@kerns84]

Great video! I've just reassembled my 450 DFC head after crashing and all my thrust bearing parts are facing the right way but yet I find its very notchy, could it be the bearings in the blade grips?? please help...

[@charlesbooker5140]

Thank you for this video it helped me correct a problem I was having that was related to the thrust bearing being installed incorrectly by me. One question though is the order of the thrust bearings the same for the tail also???

[@reppinthelocals]

great video man, thanks K

[@jasontried]

Nice, thanks. Have you had any experience with the tarot zyx fbl unit?

[@123Airfly]

Hello, I would like to use the 550 EFL head (no DFC !) for scale heli. Should I use the plastic shaft sleeve ? And which damper do you recommend ? I would like to fly low RPM. Is it not better to remove the plastic sleeve ?

[@33forsaken]

If you are asking about the sleeve in the rotor head, leave it in. As per the design its there for a reason no matter what RPM you use. With that being said I do not think it will hurt to remove it (may more head play) but I would say keep it as per the design. As for damper options, the align ones are really good or you can look at the LYNX ones. those are pretty good as well.

[@very9000]

Hi, can you help? Have you glued the black tape on the tail rotor?

[@33forsaken]

Hey buddy, I am not sure what you mean by black tape ?

[@CPTOZZY]

very useful - thanks

[@andersonl.s]

Freddy your videos are very helpul,Could you tell me where i buy that grease? I currently have nautical grease,can i use this one?

[@33forsaken]

i use tri flow i buy it from heli direct .com

[@andersonl.s]

Thank u very much dude!

[@EmptyyaPockets]

What if your building a 450 head and have no grease handy?? Is bearing oil ok to use?

[@heliernst]

Very good :-)

[@kimchikoalaa714]

Did this wrongly and popped my bearing balls out... gotta spend more money
