JR Venture 30 Helicopter test hovering

[@kjmathew]

Phew! Good job. Looks like you've got a Spektrum DX6i radio there. I have a JR Venture 30 sitting around. Thinking of hooking it up to a June 2014 second-gen DX6 radio.

[@crowe73]

The radio is indeed a DX6i by Spektrum. The radio you have should work fine for your heli. Thanks for commenting.

@happyvapes Not sure exactly. I don't have a temp guage. It seemed a little warm on the backplate, but not blazing hot. Thanks for commenting.

@fordmustangman1 Thanks for the comment. The Venture is a very good flying helicopter. I just got my blade grips and head block installed on mine. Hopefully, the wind will calm down a little so I can try it out.

[@crowe73]

@mic4rap To be honest, I'm not sure how it would be with a helicam but, it would be worth a try. Make sure to secure the camera well and check the C.G. of the heli before you fly it. Good luck to you and happy flying.

@crowe73 hello mate it this ideal for a helicam? or any other recomendations. thanks

[@happyvapes]

looks like your a lil on the lean side, what are your head temps?? nice flight :)

[@crowe73]

Hi I saw your video and saw that it was taken at pekin club I was wondering if you were still in the area and if so if you would be able to give me some pointers with my JR Venture I live about 20 minutes from pekin Thank You

[@crowe73]

Thanks for commenting. I still live in Pekin and I can help you with your helicopter. I'm available during the week after 5 P.M. and anytime on the weekend.

[@jerrybessler5425]

crowe73 Sweet I am not sure what is going on with it I am new to helicopters I have been flying some electric ones for a while. And been flying planes since I was 13. When I try to start it the rotor head tries to engage pretty hard when you hit the starter. When the engine starts it tries to jerk the blade out of your hand and then It is like the clutch lets go. The helicopter has never been flown and I only have attempted to start it 2 times in the 4 years I have had it. Would Wednesday of next Wednesday work to take a look at it?

[@crowe73]

Jerry Bessler Friday or saturday anytime would be better for me. Let me know and we will meet at Pekin R.C. field and I can have a look at your helicopter.

[@jerrybessler5425]

Is Junior Venture 30 the model I have one just like it it looks like almost all the parts are there but I know nothing about them I got it for really cheap is there a site I can go to to purchase parts or maybe find out what I need?

[@fpvstomper7020]

Many older nitro helis are hard to find parts for, ebay is your best bet.

[@charlessledge1703]

What kind of transmitter are you using with the jr venture 30 and what are your settings when I push forward the heli moves backwards

[@crowe73]

I used a Spektrum DX6i transmitter. As far as radio settings go, it sounds like your elevator settings is backwards. Go into the swash mix, in the elevator setting, and change the number to the opposite of what it's set to (Example - +60 degrees; set to -60 degrees or vice versa). When you move the stick forward, the swashplate should tilt forward. Hope this helps and happy flying to you. Thanks for commenting.

@macdaddy1600 Jr no longer manufactures this helicopter, however the replacement parts can be found at heliproz.com.
