Maiden Flight

I was finally able to make the maiden flight of my 600NSP a few days ago. After rechecking everything, it seems that my problem was a glow ignition issue after all. I noticed that the contact of the black wire of the 2in1 wasn'nt good enough on the engine mount screw. I removed it and fixed it on another scre and now the current that goes through the glow plug during igition is better.


So I now have done 4 flights with original settings. (needle 1.75 turn out). The heli flies really well. I get a lot of smoke and everything went just fine so far. On my next flight, I will start to lean the needle a few clicks to begin the final tuning of the engine.

There was a weird vibration during my first flights, but I think it is because it was windy out there. In fact, it's been very windy here in the last days. I am now waiting for a calm day to go out agin and see how it goes without any wind.

So, the maiden flight is now done and I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to fly her for real and do some loops and stuff, but I am a patient guy with my helicopters and I don't want to rush anything.
