While my “Visitors” were here this fall, they witnessed first hand an unusual crash of my Blue Ray Helicopter when the entire Flybar and paddles ejected themselves in flight!
They were never found, so no clue why they departed company!
So not having any parts, I modified the main gear plus show how I balanced the blades and bent the main and tail rotor shafts back to straight. My replacement servos are HS 55’s from Chun Park at HiTec RCD/ Multiplex.
The Helicopter is an Exceed RC Blue Ray 450 from Xheli.
I like this helicopter and the way it “feels” in flight. I also like the momentum and constant control of my rotors, with the mod I made to make the gears solid.
It is nice to have the ole Blue Ray back up. I was afraid to look at it after the crash, but glad I did, as this was not a bad fix.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
