Wonder why you left the glow igniter dangling from the heli Head Scratching

engine died for the Nth time with first starts...so my brain-wave to keep it on for just 4-5 mins in a ground effect hover - just to see if the darn thing even flew!!!

The low needle being rich is common, causing the engine to quit frequently during break in.  Another issue is the glow plug itself, but being brand new, that is less suspect here. 

From the later pictures, it looks like this resolved itself after the engine found its groove !

Great ! Congratulations.
What fuel did you use for the breakin ? Even mine died 10 times on my Raptor's first flight. Idle was OK, but as the throttle was increased, at mid point the engine got too rich and died. With airplanes we usually leave the glow plug connected during the first minute of breakin. Didnt really think of doing that on a heli.

Great show. Look forward to further pictures/videos.

Can't see the "bobbing vibration" Head Scratching  Can you describe what you are seeing a bit more ? 

The head-speed looked good for what you are doing, and the tail was holding well too.

i am glad you asked the specifics  Grin

It is not true bobbing but just that the tail is vibrating very fast in an up-down motion. The movement is less tan an inch maybe but it is vibrating a lot!!

I can barely see it in the video, and a bit of vibration is normal. In any case, you should get some help by bumping up your throttle curve for those stick positions by a little (about 3 to 5 points is a good guess).  A good amount of up-down wobble of the tail is typically an indication of not enough head-speed (which is barely visible in your case, but no harm in being a bit higher).

Hey Anwar,
I got your recommended Align B6T 2 in 1 regulator with the align lipo. I was installing it and just realized that its regulated output is 5.8v while the Fut S9254 is rated for 4.8v!!!! No am I going to need the Align inline 5.1v regulator between the Gyro and the Servo to prevent it from getting fried?? This is such a pain if i cant use it in this setup and having to add so many weak links to the setup!! Or, will the 9254 stand up to the regulated 5.8v output just fine?

Cheers

Futaba 9254 cannot handle 5.8V . Yo uwill need to use a regulator.
That is the prime reason, I switched to the Turnigy servo. Works great with unregulated 6.6V A123.
In your case, just use the inline regulator. Should be good enough. Its just a diode !

Yes, you have to bring it down to 5.1v using the regulator (which is just diodes).  It is a shame that I overlooked your rudder servo, and did not mention this initially itself (although it was not clear from the NiMH battery specs whether it was 4.8v or 6v).  But you will love the convenience of it later on, and you can continue the old setup until then; so there is nothing really to lose.

A diode is the last thing you expect to fail, so the whole "weak links" part is not a concern at all.

darn!!! the wait is so irritating, I changed all the elctrics for the 2 in 1 and am no way going to cange it back to the old setup, will just wait for the inline regulator.
In the meantime just read this whole thread and see the counter arguements....these are by experienced heli pilots BTW!!

Not worth the risk on an expensive servo, and possibly the expensive heli. 

Regardless of the discussion, Futaba clearly does not support 6V.

If you have a servo extension lying around, it is a trivial job with a soldering iron to make one. Instead of waiting days, you just need one trip to local electronics shop to get a diode.

There are choices in diodes, in terms of power.  I have not opened up the regulator yet (and I am not using it any more, since all the newer servos support 6V), so do not know which one specifically they are using. 

Other than that, just some confidence in basic soldering skills is the other requirement; and knowing the diodes are directional. 

If the above are clear, then absolutely no need to wait.  All are basics, but important.

I feel a little uncomfortable towards the ends of the 8's when the heli is turning....have this habit of pulling elevator to slow things down fearing it will get too hot on me....makes it look a little less fluid....working on it though!!

Thanks buddy, coming from you it gives me a lot of confidence. Yes it is the ultimate RC field possible....a friends polo farm where he breeds horses....1500 feet X 700 feet of perfectly manicured lawns....unfortunately only a max of 2 flyers allowed at a time since it is disturbing to the horses!!
