I've been building and flying model aircraft since 1971. I currently fly mainly scale helicopters! I also created HeliStorm, North America’s largest scale helicopter event. In 2025, the event will take place on the front grounds of the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.

You need to consider more than the servos. What model is it? With more blades, you need shorter blades in most cases. Your head speed changes and your power requirements change. I'm also not sure a 3-servo setup would work as well as a 4. Lots of unknowns!

Is that a YES?

That sounds more like sound on an event vs an event activated by a vocal command. Is that what you mean?

Are there other pilots in the area who might pitch in for a single transporter?
