Tips are tied so that they are shorter than main brakes.

By doing this, when trims are released, tips are very effective and are engaged before brakes.

If you need, you can always grab the tube and go the traditional way.

It is hard to explain, but i am happy with it.

Just find the right lenght

I can not upload a pic from my phone.

Anyway: now i have got only 1 handle. The standard one.

From this there are two cable, one lead to the tip, the other is the traditional brake.

So i have not to switch from one to the other or to keep two handle together (i did this before)

Miniplane sell a prop manufactured by Helix called the T2HA for the 19/73 box. It has no Helix labelling but is excellent. I have one of those as well as the standard Helix recommended prop. Both these are 130cm. Both excellent but I slightly prefer the T2HA for thrust and lower vibes. I haven’t flown with the 130 e-prop but my friend has it (who has also flown my machine with the Helix) and he swears by his e-prop. Basically they are all good and it’s just a matter of personal preference and price. By the way we both run the larger frame than standard.

Do you mean the L size ore the one indicated for competition?

I own a L size one.

When trims are full open, tips steering is much more effective because they become "shorter" and you do not need a long travel when pulling them.

Hi!

I am going to switch to carbon blades on my top80 miniplane.

After bit of investigation on the market and forum i ended up with 2 propellers.

E-prop and Helix: do you have any experience on those 2 model available for Top80?

I will go on 130cm.

Redrive is 19/73

Maybe 1cm of asymetrical trim will help you?

On my ozone i plugged my tip line to the brake handle. It took me a flight or two to determinate the right lenght of the line (where to make the knot) not to be pulled on full opened trims or to be too much loose on full in trims.

First of all i guess you poured some oil into the cylinder and piston.

It is normal to have a nice compression after replacing piston and or cylinder.

But:

Did you get the right size piston? They are marked A, B, C... Piston bigger than the right size coul lead to the problem you explained.

 Well: it should be imposible to mount on "reverse". There is a pin in it and one only hole to fit in on the cylinder if i am not wrong.

I rebuilt it 2 times and i can not remember this issue. Also it would be off-set if placed not the conventional way.

I mean normal and max temperatures

Did you considered Trail Tech TTO CHT gauge?

And also: what are the right temp for top80?
