  • Page 4: Kit Introduction

    Kit introduction Thank you for purchasing the X-Cell Fury 55 by Miniature Aircraft USA. This model is the culmination of years of designing and manufacturing R/C helicopters. It is designed with the highest standards, and will provide years of enjoyment. Whether this is your first R/C model helicopter or you are an advanced R/C helicopter modeler, the X-Cell Fury 55 is a fantastic choice for a “50 size” model. r/c Helicopter safety A radio controlled model helicopter is not a toy, but rather a technically complex device that must be built and operated with care. It is also a fascinating and challenging part of the R/C sport, the mastery of which is very rewarding. A model helicopter must be built exactly in accordance with the building instructions. The kit manufacturer has spent much time and effort refining his product to make it reliable in operation and easy to build. The essentially bolt together construction can proceed quite rapidly, giving the builder a strong sense of accomplishment that encourages hasty progress from one construction phase to the next, so that the completed model can be more quickly seen and enjoyed. It is essential to recognize and guard against this tendency.

  • Page 39 Illustration 6c Locate two MA128-188 main blade grips w/0319 bearings, two MA128-196 3-D bell mixer assemblies, two MA0112 m3x9.5 threaded control balls, two MA0109 m3x8 threaded 128-188 control balls, and two MA0091 m3x16 Phillips bolts. Refer to Illustration 6c for this step. Thread the MA0112 m3x9.5 threaded control balls into the OUTER holes on the MA128-196 3-D bell mixers. Note there is an inner hole, for the Fury 55 application we do not recommend installing the MA0112 m3x9.5 threaded control ball in this location. Mounting the MA0112 m3x9.5 threaded control ball on the inner hole on the Fury 55 may result in the binding and/or failure of the MA0133-1 ball link. Thread the MA0109 0109 m3x8 threaded control balls into the opposite side of each MA128-196 3-D bell mixer. Slide the MA0091 m3x16 Phillips bolt through each bell mixer, and apply a small amount of medium CA (cyanoacrylate) to the threads of the 0112 bolt, then thread the bolt into the hole on the blade grip as shown. It is important to thread the MA0091 Phillips bolts 128-196 into the correct hole on the blade grip for proper rotor head geometry. 0091 0848-2 gRoovE foR 0848-2 0332 0331 0844-6 128-187 Illustration 6d USE BoTH WASHERS foR 3D fLyIng.

Refer to Illustration 6g for this step. Use the MA120-25 m3x86 threaded control rods, and MA0331-1 plastic grey ball links to make two “Hiller” control rods. These control rods should be made so that 70mm of thread control rod is visible between the ball links. See page 44 for control rod lengths. Use the MA0053-5 m3x16 socket set screws, and MA0133-1 plastic grey ball links to make two “Bell” control rods. These control rods should be made so that 0.0mm of thread control rod is visible between the ball links. See page 44 for control rod lengths. Install the completed control linkages as shown in the illustration. 0082 3700-150 2 PER SIDE 0082 0021 3700-150 USED onLy foR 12MM BLADE RooTS 0021 MAIn BLADE Illustration 6h Locate two MA0082 m4x38 socket bolts, two MA0021 m4 locknuts, four MA3700-150 1mm main rotor blade mount spacers, and the rotor blades you intend to use for this model. Refer to Illustration 6h for this step. NOTE: The main rotor blade grips on the Fury 55 have a 14mm grip spacing. Some rotor blades have a 12mm root thickness. If this is the case with your rotor blades, please use the MA3700-150 1mm main rotor blade mount spacers above and below each rotor blade root. If your rotor blades have a 14mm root thickness, do not use the spacers. Install the MA0082 m4x38 socket bolt through the hole in the blade grip, and through the rotor blades, and attach the MA0021 m4 locknut on the bottom. Main rotor grip tightness should be so that the blades do not “fall under their own weight”, but can still be rotated in the mount with moderate force.

  • Page 45: Basic Model/Radio Set Up

    basic model/radio set up The X-Cell Fury 55 is an eCCPM model. This means that the servos that are connected to the swashplate move together to achieve the function requested from the transmitter input. The transmitter mixes the channels required to achieve the correct movement of the swashplate. The X-Cell Fury 55 uses a very simple “direct” servo to swashplate system that decreases the overall parts count and complexity of the model. The very first thing to do, is center the swashplate servos. Your kit includes a simple pointer tool designed to help you center your servos. Ideally, you rotate the servo horn until the servo is centered, eliminating the use of sub-trim. For the pitch, aileron, and elevator servos: In your radio • ATV (servo endpoints) should be at 100%.

  • Page 46: Swashplate Eccpm Set Up

    swashplate eccPm set up: Now that you’ve built your new Fury 55 helicopter, you have to make the servos work together. The Fury 55 is an eCCPM model, and requires a specific radio program for the servos that control the swashplate. eCCPM is a mix that is already programmed in your transmitter, you just have to fine tune it to your Fury 55 and here’s how: The very first thing you need to do is tell your radio that a 120 degree eCCPM mix must be used.

  • Page 47: Pitch Curve Set Up

    Pitch curve set up: It is important that you build your model to exactly the way described in this manual. Make sure all your linkage rods are exactly the length determined in the manual included with your helicopter kit. First, go to the pitch curve menu in your radio for Idle up 1, or Stunt mode 1. You’ll see numbers, a graph or both. There will generally be 5 points you can adjust. You’ll have to imagine the points (1,2,3,4,5) as representing points on the collective stick, where point 1 represents full bottom stick, and 5 represents full top stick. Obviously that makes point 3 center stick and that’s where we start. Ensure that point 3 on the pitch curve (center stick) to equal 50% of the swashplate’s up and down travel, meaning the in the middle of it’s available travel. So, turn on your transmitter, and receiver, flip the flight mode switch to idle-up 1 or Stunt mode, and scroll to the pitch curve menu. Now place the left stick in the center. Use a pitch gauge, (We recommend MA3000-06) ensure that there is 0 degrees pitch on both rotor blades and that the mixing arms, and washout arms are perpendicular to the mainshaft. If any of this is untrue, you’ll need to make it so, by adjusting slightly the length of the pushrods. Now that you’ve got 0 degrees at center stick, and point 3 on the pitch curve has a value of 50% (don’t deviate here!) We can adjust the pitch at full top and bottom collective stick positions. Generally we want to have the same amount of pitch on the bottom stick position as we do on the top stick position in idle up or stunt mode. That means positive 10 degrees on top stick, and negative 10...

  • Page 48: Throttle Curve Set Up

    throttle curve set up: Build the throttle linkage as shown previously. This linkage length may change but ideally, you’ll want the servo linkage 90 degrees to the servo horn. This ensures equal travel in both directions. Turn on your transmitter. Scroll to the “throttle curve” screen and notice that there are points, usually 5, and the all have an assignable percentage. For example point 1 is 0% and point 5 is 100% (of the servo’s travel). Ensure that when the throttle/collective stick is at the mid point (point 3) that the engine’s carburetor is exactly ½ or 50% open (or otherwise stated in the manual included with the engine). This is crucial to easy set up. You may have to loosen the throttle arm on the carburetor for this to happen. Place the throttle stick to ½ and see where the carburetor opens to. On most popular engines today there is a mark that shows the halfway point. If it is not quite ½ way open you can use sub trim to make it so, but you don’t want to use too much. Too much sub trim can make further set up more difficult. Move the throttle stick to full throttle . The servo should open the carb to full open. If it opens less you can increase the end point in your radio so that it opens a little further, and if the servo binds (keeps wanting to move but the throttle is fully open) you can decrease the endpoint, but ideally you want the endpoints as close to 100% and 100% as possible. If you are experiencing the need for more servo movement, try moving the ball link out one hole on the servo arm, and conversely if you need much less servo movement, you can move the ball link one hole in. Once you have this set up in normal mode you’ll have to start and fly the helicopter to determine whether you need more or less throttle, but from what we’ve found this is a good starting point.
