Massimo,
Looks nice and solid in the air. Nice pedal turns during slow flight.
Great job,

Thanks Butch
Hi there!
Congratulations on a beautiful model and flying.
I've got the "Mercy Flight" Bell 421
Can you please tell me your all up flying weight (Mine is 22 lbs) and your heads-speeds? Looking forward to hearing, Safe flights!
Hello Cletus, the flying weight is 18.7lbs (8.5kg) with the 3 batteries, 2x5000 6S, that i use for everything (motor, servos, received, etc), and 1x1,500 3S that is use for the lights system.
Head speed 1,250rpm, i tried to lower it to the 1,100 suggested but at 1,250 it feel more comfortable, for me, in the way the heli respond. Fly time 8min but the batteries still have 55-60% charge after landing. I hope this help you with your project.
