How-to fit and setup the aluminium upgrade parts for Esky Co-axial Helicopters.
The following is a guide to installing and setting up the esky aluminium upgrade parts. It should be used as a guide only. It can also be used as a guide for the installation of the superior Xtreme upgrades
   
|
First you will need to remove the inner shaft A (EK1-0315), bearing housing or retainer ring (EK1-0324), inner shaft B or bottom central holder (EK1-0318) and the swash plate (EK1-0319). You should also remove the battery holder and skids, tail and canopy. |
|
Install the aluminium swash plate upgrade (EK5-0209) by pushing it down the main shaft |
|
Install the bottom central holder set (EK5-0207) onto the main shaft. Line up the holes on the shaft with the screws on the top of the central holder and tighten screws through the holes. The bottom part is then screwed tightly to the shaft in the slots on the bottom of the central holder. |
|
Assemble the aluminium grip set (EK5-0210) in two halves, one grip one side. |
|
Install the bottom grip set onto the bottom central holder and tighten them with the screws. |
|
Replace the retainer ring on the main shaft. |
|
Connect the swash plate and the grip set with the push rods. |
|
Connect the push rod on the servo horn with the swash plate. |
|
Adjust the bottom of the central holder, if needed, so that the push rods are straight. |
|
Install the central hub (EK5-0206) through the main shaft.
|
|
Connect the main gear to the inner shaft. |
|
Lock the main gear in place with the gear retainer ring. |
|
Install the grip to the central hub as you did above. |
|
Connect the blades B (lower) a lock them in with the screws. |
|
Connect the blades A (upper) a lock them in with the screws. |
|
Install the stabilizer to the central hub |
|
Lock the stabilizer in place with the cap and screw it in with the two screws. |
|
Connect the control link to the upper grip set. |
|
Fully assembled aluminium upgrade. |
Now that the upgrade is installed, reconnect the tail, canopy and skids. Before you fly your heli there are a few things you should do.
Adjust the servo push rods so that the swash plate sits straight. To do this turn the transmitter on and set all the trims to the center, except the throttle trim and control stick which should be at the bottom. Connect the battery to the heli and let the heli initialise. Check that the servo arms are at 90 degrees to the servo. now adjust the servo push rods so that the swash plate is at 90 degrees to the main shaft when viewed from the front and side.
Adjust the gain and proportional as needed.
You will find that the heli is very twitchy and more responsive to the inputs on the control. With this in mind it is a good idea to find a large area for the first flight. After a lot of adjustments and practice you get the feel for it.
Good luck.
