Daisy Electric Glider - I need HELP with assembly

(1/3) > >>

error404:
I have recently bought my first rc plane which is a DAISY electric glider. As a complete novice I know I will struggle with assembling this and I may need your advice/help (if you don't mind the stupid questions :oops: ).

Q1. Has anyone got any pics of their assembly which may be of benefit to me?

So far, I have cut out & trial fitted the vertical fin. Next is fitting the prop and motor which is half complete.

Q2. How does the engine fit securely in place? Do I then attach the prop?

Thank You!!! :D

Hi Error  :lol:

First of all, welcome to the forum ! And there are no stupid questions, just crazy answers !  :lol:

For Q1 : I don't have any picture of the Daisy, but if you have any doubt, you can post pictures in the forum (or send them to me, and I'll do it for you), and then, we can see what to do / what's wrong.

For Q2, I guess the daisy is powered by a Speed 400 ? Is it direct drive or geared ?
If it's directe drive, in front of the motor, there will be 2 or 4 holes for the screws, and on the noze of the glider, you should have a plywood piece called firewall. The motor goes by the inside, and then it's screwed to the firewall. Just take care not to use very long bolts, as they can touch the rotay part inside the motor.
If the motor is geared, same thing, but I think the daisy is direct drive.

To attach the propeller to the shaft of the motor, you need an adapter, something like this :


But once again, the best way to help you is to tell us what you got, using pictures and so on.
But an even better way, if you leave near Dublin, Mt Leinster, is to meet us with your glider at the slope  :D

Fred, thanks for the info. I got a chance yesterday evening to pop into Green's HS, where i bought the plane and saw a daisy that was built. Seeing it finished helped.

The motor is direct drive (Race 400 Electro Motor 7,2V). I got some washers (2.5mm + 3mm) to use on the bolts (8.5mm) that go into motor and firewall so it does not touch the rotary part.

I hope to do this on the weekend so I will let you know how I get on and I will post pictures of the build as I go along.

Finally, I will try to get out to Mt. Leinster some Saturday.

Hiya Error.Welcome to the forum  :D.
Let us know how your getting on and if you like we can let you know when we're flying at Killakee(Dublin) or Mt Leinster(Wexford Carlow border).
Take care and best of luck getting the Daisy ready!

error404:
I am nearly finished the assembly of my Electric Daisy(found some time). However I have two questions.
 
1. When I connect the battery the speed controller beeps every one second continiously. What causes this problem, how should i fix it.
 
2. When I turn on the 'Hitec Optic 6' the servos 'jump' they move position by about 45 degrees.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would love to begin flying soon. Thanks
