microhelis.de simulation controllers review and discussion

Hi,

THX for the advices.

Unfortunately this is an approved shop system, with all German restrictions, which limits some possibilities.

But I can create a complete configuration by helicopter type.

This would be similar to the "full set" picture from Trip.

Also important to show what is needed for collective only, cyclic only, pedals only, and combinations of any two of those.

Yogi, status of Collective??

Hi

sorry for delay, was out of order some days with migraine headache:cry:

Now I thought I was ready, but I have to change the multipol-cable which I made to short for this short version :music_whistling:

Damn that looks good :).

Do you know if your going to use a short version or a standard length tube for your mounting system?

Hi Yogi. Is the collective base enclsure/boot going to be available to order from your web page? I have been trying to get a price via email but have been unsuccessful.

yes, it will be available for ordering in some days. But as special design it will have a longer time to produce (and higher cost).:(

@Mr. Fenestron: I would prefer the longer version. :music_whistling:

Hi

this is the version with build in BU0836 board and matrix board in the collective head.

The boot get a minor change on the bottom line. (picture follows)

This is the finished version, with elastic in the lower edge

Looks great DM. It will make a fine addition to the mount system and the new Volta rig I'm going to build when Nvidia drops it. I really like the leather too, looks well made.

Hi,

I will offer this base mount in a horizontal version too.

The 22° version is only usefull with short tube sidemounted on racing seats and in my opinion not very ergonomic.:(

Whichever is the most realistic is the best way to go, IMHO

Hi,

this will be the full 0° mount version.

86mm above floor:(

I imagine the mounting system to look like a snow sled, elongated body with parts mounted under.

Nice work Yogi.

Hey Yogi, I just saw you added an MD500 section on your website. Now I'm curiously excited. Also, I like the configured huey option you added. Looking forward to any updates

Hi guys,

anyone recived some staff from yogi149? Maybe somebody will write some review with pictures. I`m waiting for my order and I`m curious about it. So feel free to share your experience.

I don't think anyome has done a video review yet however, the very first post (TripRodriguez) gave a solid review on some of Yogi's products.

Expecting delivery on my collective any minute now.

I am ordering the complete UH-1 configuration September 27th(ish). I did note that the UH-1 pedal base is available however, the actual UH-1 pedals themselves don't seem to be at this moment. I have emailed Yogi (& staff), still waiting for a reply.

Hi,

this will be the full 0° mount version.

Why the sad face? Some people simply can't mount under the floor, it's a trade off that has to be made, no?

Agreed. Just shorten the stick a bit. No one will notice.

Yogi.

Are you really sure of the 109/89/69 mm measurement for the pitch dampers? With 109 mm between the external hole used to fix the pitch damper and the center of the stick, my damper seems to be fully compressed.

Yeah, I confirm, 109 mm can't be right. I added 30 mm just in case and was still short of a good 20 mm. I had to cut one of the part shorter to fit my floor (see picture). The problem now is that I am a bit short for the aft cyclic because I had to move it back. I wish the cyclic was a little bit longer than what it is. I need to figure out a way to extend it.

Agreed. Just shorten the stick a bit. No one will notice.

Exactly - this option makes the purchase viable for me, and I know full well the trade offs, but, well, life happens. :thumbup:

I feel out of my league here, can either of you explain what the issue is?

Really no big thing. We were just commenting on Surface vs Sub-Surface mounting of the Collective. My bet is that the Surface mounted Collective will be more popular in time.
