Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / June 2006Maidened the SE yesterday
Welp, after a couple weeks of assembly, setup and much outlay of cash, I spooled up the new Trex yesterday and "pulled pitch". She came right up into a nice stable hover with no vibration and the tail JUST wanted to rotate right a bit. Tracking was off a touch, but I went ahead and flew an entire battery (10 mins) with some aggressive collective "punches" to see how the gyro would react (rock solid) and a couple hovering piros to see how well it'd stop the tail (on a dime) I even got to 1 handed hover once I got a little air under her. Pics are in my helifreaks.com gallery - http://www.helifreak.com/album_personal.php?user_id=7524 It was a bit breezy and even a left crosswind didn't require too much effort ot hold the bird steady. Very nice flyer indeed. I've got a couple small issues to resolve with my pitch curves but I think she's going to be a joy to fly once I get her dialed in. Now, to get the Rappy flying!! > Welp, after a couple weeks of assembly, setup and much outlay of cash, > I spooled up the new Trex yesterday and "pulled pitch".
