  • Trex 600 Airwolf maiden

    This may not be everyone's thing, but as a kid growing up, all I wanted to do was fly an Airwolf. Ok so it took me 40 years to do, but over the winter I built one and this is the maiden flight. I apologise for the shaky flying, it's been 6 months, so a little stick rusty and scale flying is very different to sport and 3D, hope you like it. http://youtu.be/KTXEzbeXO9c

                    well spotted, it was the steel rod connected to the servo, it kept on bending up when wheels were lowered, so I've made some guilds and fitted them with the rod going through the middle so it supports and stops any flex. Should be mint now, just need to soften the settings up too in the brain, as it's set to 3D mode and it's a little heavy and I need to learn to fly it properly. Going to fit a möbius to it and take some footage .

                          Not 100% sure mate, I think I could do rolls and a few soft things, but I don't want the nose to come loose and end up in bits going through the blades. I'll try a loop and roll this weekend I recon
