Augusta A109

My Trex 550e has now found a new home... :-)

Maiden flight today...

Was a bit windy but seemed to handle it quite well.

Looks good.

Very Nice Perhaps run a lower headspeed though, makes it look more scale imo

Very nice Neale, sorry I could not be there today. Hope to make it later in the week and for the AHA opener on Saturday.

Yep its currently at 1650 rpm. Can certainly drop it a bit more but for a first flight wanted to make sure the tail held ok.

Got 6 minutes with 40% left in a 5000mAh pack.

Nice job !! - That's far nicer than all this 3D stuff....

Where did you get the A109 body? I am thinking about putting a scale body on my 550. Not sure about the A109 though. I don't want the complication of retracts.

Its a Funkey fuselage. Purchased on ebay here :-
FUNKEY - Agusta A-109 Retract Version Scale Fuselage For 30 size | eBay

Be prepared to do a bit of work to get the airframe aligned with the fuse so that the tail box is aligned.

Will do some pictures of the frame mount that I made so I could adjust the airframe height once mounted inside the fuse.
Also had to cut the rear stabilizer so that the boom and tail control was not caught.

Like it a lot, I do like scale ones, 3d is good too, but my brain wouldn't be fast enough!
