The parts listed here are a combination of upgrades and original parts obtained from various manufacturers, Heliup, Duzi, MicroHeli, MS Composite and JR. I originally brought the parts to build myself the ultimate Hornet, but unfortunately I never completed the project and have since sold it all to someone else.
The first picture shows the basic Heliup frame set and servo mounts. It also shows the Duzi motor mount and one-way main gear (i.e. with an autorotation bearing), the swash plate and some of the other head components (the remaining head components are shown later).
The next picture shows a closer view of the one-way main gear assembly and brushless Axi motor. This photo also shows the rear tail boom mount, and stock MS Composite skids.
The next two pictures show alternative views of the main mechanics. In these images it is easier to see the JR281 digital micro servos and the Duzi anti rotation guide. Note also the Duzi servo to swash links, these are ball raced at the mount point with the servo horn.
The next picture shows the MS Composite carbon tail boom mounted on the main frames. The inset image shows the pinion that engages with the Duzi one-way main gear, and it is also just possible to see the flanged bearing mounted in the end of the carbon boom. The other end of the boom has the same type of bearing, and the internal carbon drive shat is also supported by two inner bearings, these are not visible.
The next picture shows two views of the MS-116 speed controller, as recommended for use with the Axi brushless motor. The inset images show the additional Axi motor pinions and the various JR281 servo accessories.
This next double picture shows the Duzi mixer arm assemblies and the flybar cradle. Both are un-opened and thus not shown on the earlier pictures of the main mechanics.
Shown below are a set of standard MS Composite Hornet paddles, and a flybar.
The next set of three photos shows a plastic flybar assembly yoke, hoop links and a few spare normal links. I did consider buying a metal flybar assembly yoke, but I was advised by Duzi that the plastic component worked best with their head block, and would also help protect the head in a crash.
This next double picture shows the Duzi ball raced tail blade grips, and the tail servo mount kit. A standard MS Composite tail hub is required to complete the tail assembly.
The next pictures show the MicroHeli tail gearbox housing, the two Delrin tail gears (the plastic spacer is not shown), and a MicroHeli vertical tail fin. There is no horizontal fin, I decided not to use one as part of my plan to keep the overall weight down.
The final set of pictures show the MicroHeli tail pitch slider for use with the Duzi blade grips, a tail pitch lever designed specifically for the tail gear box shown above, and a precision tail output shaft.
