Just veiwed your video clip, looks superb Given me a kick up the backside to get mine up and running Gonna look into my retract problem, hope it's something just as simple as yours was?? Just another Q are you running everything on 1 battery or are you running the retracts on a 2nd battery?

[ChrisB]

I am running everything off the 1 lipo,,1200mah Align one with 6A regulator

Hi,
now, my Airwolf is almost ready... the first flights are done, and the lady looks beautiful.
I've cut the edge at the bottom away and made a smale nose-operation, becouse the bump was to high and to thin.
Then I cut a think stikingfilm an simulate some service-doors, engrave the mising doors and with woodglue I simulate the thousands of rivets.

DuPont mixed me the Phantom Grey effect.

Now, without any guns, it flies with a waight of 4,3 kg.
Inside is da T-Rex 600 Alu, the head is a LF-Technik Rigid-Head for T-Rex, Blades are S65 M-Blades and now the joke, no v-bar
It flies nice, a little bit nervous if it is windy, but nice.
With a 4400 LiMnPo the flighttime is almost 10 minutes with reserves.
I don't know the Rotor RPM, maybe 1700

In the near future, Jürgen Behrens, a friend of mine, builds a scale-retract
For Airwolf and the Bell 222

I hope, my english is not too band an you are able to understand everythink if I made faults please correct me so i just learn

But here are the Fotos

very nice ck.one83 the retracts that your friend is making look good too!
are you running with no flybar and no v.bar system!!!!! amazing i bet its twitchy in any conditions!!

your english is perfectly understandable except for a few spelling mistakes, but hey ive been writing in it for years and still cant spell myself!!!

The retract will be for selling after I tested the prototype.

I have a mixing-card, like a csm cyclock and i switched a normal gyro between elevator and aileron, but it is more like esp in a car, it makes the flight a little bit more comfortable, but you don't notice it realy.
But I was verry suprised, first I flew it without any gyros (only at the tailrotor) and the combination of the rotorhead and the mainblaids are verry harmonic.
I flies like a soft Head with a flybar, only at wind, it is a little bit nervous, and the Lady feels like a T-Rex 450
But, if there is no wind at all, It flies like a trainer.

took me a better half of an hour to get through this thread but it was very inspiring and the only down side is theres no updates or recent posts
the german heli looks beautiful in the pictures and the other one has a nice flying style very original
well done guys
