Fusuno Bell 407 / Vario Mechanics
First Flight
I do all my "first flights" in the front yard where I have no distractions. I set all my models up with the same parameters and then adjust accordingly if needed. This 407 was very uneventful needing no changes, blades tracked, no vibrations and the 3X doing it's job perfectly. The next videos are at my club field where I fly my first flights pretty fast and aggressive ( not very scale ) to check control response and pitch settings. The Vario "Two Bolt" head and blades are very responsive and the 407 was screaming for a few loops and rolls, lol. After getting this out of my system I will get back in "scale mode". I have logged several hundred hours flying the full size 407 and they are the most "cyclic responsive" helicopter I had the pleasure to fly. They are one of the "hot rods" of helicopters, lol.
