Eflite funtana 300

mattman683 · 09-12-2008, 09:30 AM

Do any of you guys have this? I am trying to finish mine up. The length of wire from my esc to battery is to short making the CG to far up. Also the controll surfaces have some slop. Any suggestions?

mighty9 · 09-12-2008, 10:54 AM

can ya show a few pix and give details on the esc you used...my esc[castle creations 35] will reach back to the servo bay if need be..and where is the slop? in the control horn or the servo>?

Hey Matt, what servos are you using?

mattman683 · 09-12-2008, 12:52 PM

Hey brandon,

It has 4 eflite S75's. The esc is an electrifly bl-8.

I will try to get some pics later tonight.

brandonduley · 09-12-2008, 01:46 PM

i have those s75's in my heli, they seem to have a little slop at the center

krayzc · 09-12-2008, 01:49 PM

mine is still in the brown box from H H. I think i have a 400 motor for it and some small brand of servos that I plan to test this baby out who knows when. I have it now so its going to work for my needs lol

I think the servos are part of the problem. The push rods are part of the problem too, there is like a Z bend that makes it worse too.

Well I just got a new speed controller and battery in the mail after the other one blew up. This one has a longer wire! Now she's ready to go! Although I am still going to have to do something about the slop from the Z-bend. Any other thoughts?

Should I put on the Side Force Generators?

Put a drop of CA in the control horn hole, then keep it moving until it kicks. It should be better, but keep in mind its still a foamie, and there will be some slop

mattman683 · 09-14-2008, 09:58 AM

It has these things on the control horn.[IMG]file:///C:/Users/mark/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg[/IMG]

I installed them and put a drop of CA were the metal post and the black piece of plastic meet making sure to push down. That fixed the problem.

hpapilot · 09-14-2008, 10:24 AM

Z-bends work great as long as the hole isn't too large. As Mahak said, a drop of CA will tighten up the holes in control horns very well.

Got the maiden in tonight what an awesome plane. Highly recommended!
