Sat 19th Jan 2008. Testing in the garden. . Click below to see video.
This helicopter is REALLY big - over 4 feet long, with a rotor diameter of about 5 feet!.
It is powered by the 'Rolls-Royce' of engines - an OS61 MAX SF. I've only had it running a few times, never crashed it & probably only got about 2 feet off the ground. When those huge rotors get up to speed it's quite a scary machine!
The scale body for it was a Kyosho item & it looks fantastic on the helicopter.
Essential equipment for setting-up and maintaining a helicopter. To prevent loosing bits or damaging anything, I have put it all in to a custom made container. The instructions for the various items even go between the layers.
The set includes a high quality pitch gauge with associated bits - this lets you set the angle of the main rotor blades with respect to the controls, a blade balancer to prevent wobble and vibration - you use tape on the blades to get this just right, a special tool to separate ball linkages - without damaging them plus the common sizes of allen key - for this equipment and the helicopter in general.
