Finally finished building my Roban UH-1D Huey 800 size. These are shipped painted the wrong color so I did a total repaint, decals from Caligraphics, running 12s packs. Finally got the rotor balance kit on which gives it a much better scale appearance as well as added custom made steps on the front...

Looks great Bill! I just finished my Roban UH1-N Marines. Where did you get the rotor balance kit and the pilot figures?

There is a company called ZY Hobby. They are a Chinese distributor for Roban. These rotor balance kits are $49.95. The pilot figure I purchased from Figures Toy Company. You need an 8” pilot for the 800 size Huey.

I wanted to share some pictures of my mechanics testing sled that I built. Right now it has a Roban 800 mechanics on it so I can test and make any necessary adjustments before I put it in the fuselage.

Looks great. I designed my own test frame for Roban Mechanics as well. Much better to test and adjust everything before putting in the fuselage if you have the option!

I am building a Roban 800 size Bell 222 with retractable landing gear. I am using a Spektrum FC6250HX flybarless with a Spektrum NX8. Does anyone have any advise on how to program the retractable gear to work with one of my switches? Help. Thanks

Just assign the gear to an aux channel and assign a switch to that channel. The Spektrum radio is pretty intuitive. Adjust the travel settings on that channel to dial in the full retract and full extension positions.
