Thanks Butch!

Agree with Michael. I generally configure my collective setup so it is -3 deg on the low side and +11.5 deg on the high side. That’s pretty much all there is too it.

Very cool! Will look forward to seeing it!

Very nice! Love that smooth slow start, and looks great in the air!

It is. I’ve bought stuff from them pretty often if I can’t find it elsewhere. No issues so far.

Thanks, it is one of my favorite machines. Super stable, and really long flight times.

Looks like a good. turnout and lots of great looking models! Any chance you might make it down to Hinesville this year?
On Edgewood Flyers Scale Heli/War Bird Event. · Jun 7, 2024
I’ve got about a 50/50 mix. I love anything that flies, especially if it’s scale. On the bench now are both a 500 size Skycrane, and a 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft which will eventually carry the Shuttle Enterprise.

The SAB Goblin 700 ball links are excellent. Much better than the stock links.

It’s so dependent on size and aircraft type.. It varies so much. With some models like my 500 size Sikorsky S-51, no ballast is needed. For others, like my 500 size Apache and UH-34, the noses are stuffed with lead. It definitely tends to be more problematic for aircraft with short nose sections,...

I’m a big fan of the 500-600 sizes. Big enough to fly scale and handle wind, small enough to store and transport without much effort.

I’ve been doing scale helis for a fairly short period compared to some of you guys, but I’ve been at it since 2014. All electric so far, and mostly in the sub 800 size.
On Where are you in the world of scale helicopters? · Jun 2, 2023
I’ve purchased direct from them. I own their 500 size UH-1C, UH-1D, UH-34, and OH-58A. Communication can be a bit troublesome, best done through Facebook messenger to their page, but they’ve always come through. The great thing is, they custom build to your request. So, you can specify finish and...
On Any one know where and who still sells scale fuselages?... · Jun 2, 2023
60 seems a bit on the low side. I run a HobbyWing 120 in mine. Are you planning on the 4 blade head? The 1200kv is definitely on the high side. I run the scorpion 900KV 3226 motor in mine with the 4 blade head and tail.
