Electronics

   

The Plettenberg HP 370/40/A2 Heli motor.

   

Schulze Future 40.160 speed controller.  This controls your motor.

 

My mistake:  The end of the ESC where it connects to the motor, I didn't realize the ends comes off.  This is where you'll solder the wires from the motor.  Pull them out before soldering.

   

Schulze dip switch settings.

   

Futaba 12 channel receiver.

   

3 Futaba 9255 Servos.

 

These controls your cyclic.

   

Futaba 401 Gyro kit.

 

The gyro keeps the nose of the helicopter straight or stabilizes the yaw movement by adjusting the pitch of the tail blades.  The kit comes with a servo.

 

NOTE:  You can purchase either the servo or gyro separately.

   

My 401 settings.

 

DS: ON

DIR: REV

DELAY: 0

LIMIT:  Adjust this according to the travel of the tail pitch slider.

   

Spartan AP2000i flight stabilizer.

 

The AP2000i keeps your helicopter leveled while hovering.  Great for AP work.

 

Can be disabled for forward flight.

   

FMA sensor and cable.  This plugs into AP2000i.

 

Don't forget to order the cable!

 

I used the extra double-sided foam sticky from the Gyro kit.

 

This uses IR to detect the horizon.

   

Align RCE-B6X voltage regulator. 

 

If you change your receiver battery to LiPos then you'll need this.

   

 

How it all connects.

(I'll clean up the wiring later...  :D  )
