Century Airwolf 50 Scale Project

[Disc]

I have a Bell222 in build and I plan to run one battery for the retracts a small 4.8v 700-1000 ma battery and then power the rest of the electronics as normal.

I don't think adding a small battery will add enough weight for me to worry about it....

[ChrisB]

Cheers Mark,thats a pretty good idea actually and as you say i am not really worried about the weight of it.

Well you used to get the 700ma 4.8v r/x batterys in futaba T/X kits not a lot of use with a 2.4ghz set's to be honest but a 700ma battery should last for plenty of flights as well.

[ChrisB]

Change of plan,i have decided to abandon the conversion mainly because i dont fly it often enough and there will be little if any benefit to it.

Also wont have to worry about the power supply issue,but i will be fitting the silver head from my 600LE onto it so that will make it look nicer.

well just to be a complete nut job and throw a big old spanner in the 'scale' works - i have a set of RJX Xtreme 50 mechs that i'm planning to shoe horn into a century 50 or 60 sized airwolf fuse this summer - that way i can play 'scale' and when i get bored of that (after about five mins - had a 60 vario 222 in the past) i can make like the tv series and speed things up a little. Anyone know how much bigget the 60 is compared to the 50 fuse?

[ChrisB]

Well it hasnt flown since May 2010 in fact i ripped it apart and stuck it in the cupboard for a future fbl conversion.

That culminated in its return to flight on Saturday with RJX head now,Blue V bar,Jive 100LV and Z Power z50 motor that in the vid has a noisy bearing that was cured with a drop of oil for the further two flights after the videod flight.

Hi Chris,

Nice to see the Airwolf flying again mate.

I'm now inspired to take mine back out - its not flown since the RCHA event and its sitting in my office looking pretty - so it's probably time to get it airborne again soon.

They look so good in the air!

Cheers,

[ChrisB]

They sure do look menacing in flight now mine is fbl and feeling better than ever it's going to get regular trips out to the field.

Another good flight Chris it still looks superb Glad its still in your fleet
