Towerpro H40a Esc Manual
This article is about the kit.If you live in Europe or another region with a local HK shop it will pay off to get your kit there. It's very likely that you will get extra taxes on this kind of bigger packages from abroad. Also shipping from local regions is much faster and cheaper. This is the link for the.If you want to go even cheaper than that you could buy the.
Be aware that this one has no canopy, blades, etc. EDIT: this kit seems to be removed from the website?External Resources For Version 1 there is a available. This can help you to some extend for the V2 version. Same goes for the. Don't go into detail with these manuals as screws and other details might not match completely.Required Electronics for the HK 450 v2 Kit The HK450 V2 kit comes without electronics. You need a lipo, motor, pinion, esc, servo's, gyro and receiver (and progammable transmitter). These are the cheapest parts available from HK.
Please not that the cheap plastic geared servo's are not suited for extreme 3D performance. By the time you learned how to fly 3D you probably know what servo's to replace them with anyway;-).(lightweight and good performance)(comes with pinion and 3 bullet connectors)(cheap and enough power for sport flying, have a higher C rate for better performance)4x (these fit frame well. For better performance look for digital metal geared servo's instead)If you don't have the standard interchangeable RC gear yet you will also need the following. These parts you only need to buy once and can be used for several models:Transmitter & Receiver ComboYou either buy a Mode 1 or Mode 2 transmitter. This mode is an indication on where the throttle stick is, left or right. The throttle stick is different than the other stick because it can be left at a certain position without having a spring centering it when released. This however can easily be changed by taking off the spring on one stick and putting it back on the other stick.
Also in firmware you can choose what channels corresponds to what control.Also note that this transmitter is very popular and because of that has been on backorder for ages now. The only way to get one is to place a backorder and wait. At the beginning of this year I ordered one and the wait time for the order to get reserved was around 1 month. Add another month for shipping and you'll be waiting for 2 months!
But it's worth it, believe me.Battery Charger Another part you'll only buy once. The best option for this really is the. For that price you have a very complete charger with all the options you'll ever need.

The only disadvantage so far is that it can only charge a single pack. But for that price you can get 2 of them and charge 2 batteries at the same time;-).Important note on tools The screws that come with this kit are either philips or hex.
Don't use a 1.5mm metric hex driver for these screws since it won't fit perfectly and you will end up breaking the screws. You need an imperial 1/16 inch hex driver instead! In fact many people complaining about the weak screws just use improper tools.Loctite is needed on all metal to metal parts. But only on metal to metal parts! Don't use it on plastic since it can damage plastics. For plastic securing you want to use a drop of CA glue. Also if you want to loosen a piece you've secured with loctite it can help to heat it up shortly with a soldering iron.Kit Contents & Build Instructions Be aware that the packages are well grouped.

The screws that are in the package of the landing skids for instance need to be used for mounting the landing skids;-). The main gear, spacer and the screw for attaching. With this I had some issues. In the tail drive gear, the smallest, bottom gear there is a metal shaft (one way bearing shaft) with a hole that has to align with the hole in the plastic gear.
These didn't align on my parts making it impossible to put the screw through to keep everything together (the black one on the picture). I tried turning it but it was very stiff and only after heating it up shortly I could move it around to align the holes. Problem is I heated up too long causing the plastic to melt and now the shaft isn't centered anymore.
