I bought one of these new around 98 or 99. Spun it up on the ground a few times but could never get the guys to fly it and sold it. Nice restoration.
Just got an old Kyosho Nexus going this summer!
I just purchased a nice Nexus 30, and I'm in the process of rebuilding her. It had less than 1 tank of fuel ran through it, and the PO couldn't get the servos and trim set, so he sold it and I bought it.
I like this old bird, and hope to have a video of her up and running soon.
Sounds nice. Let me know when you have a video, so i can see it fly
It's a fantastic sport RC helicopter, for the price and time. I really wish they would release it again... I restored mine and have retired it. The collective system is so nice..
NICE ONE - WELL DONE !
I get that little pitch wobble too. I may have figured out a major deal with mine. The shrink tube or heat shrink was very loose and the heli was all over the place. Re-heated the rotorblade wrap and it made the helicopter much more stable in a hover. I could have missed that in your video but mine was super loose!
Okey. That can be a major couse for the wobble. My wobble was because of the low headspeed. More rpm and the heli became more stable.
Just pulled my old nexus out loft she all dusty but looking forward to getting her flying again just like yourself.if I have any problems can I ask
Bravo sir!
Enjoyed the video, thanks. I do GMPs but have been looking at Kyoshos lately too.
I would have been concerned about what looked like a lot of aluminum powder all over the frames, or was it something else?
I happened into an Nexus 30 about three years ago and bought it. My issue is how to setup with a modern radio. Please share your radio settings details with me so I might have a chance to get this classic bird back in the air where she belongs. I'd probably use a Turnigy 9x, or a DX6i. Thanks in advance for the advise :-)
Hi there. You install everything just the way you do with the old radios. Make sure you have the right swashplate settings on your radio.
Turnigy 9x can be configured without problems
heh Boomstrike :)
