Rave 450

I've got a beta version of the Rave 450 model if anyone wants it? Not sure if phoenix will be happy if I post the link here so pm me if interested.

Here is the link for the Rave, I've seen it posted on other forums so I guess phoenix wont be bothered?

Thanks Greig. It is very stable, I had to up the head speed and play with the piro to get it more like my Beam (would you believe my Beam spins about the equiv of 1000deg/sec on Phoenix! LOL).

Much better to fly than teh Trex on there. Is it the same in real life? (I know the Trex on there is not as stable as the Trex in real life either )

I've had a little tinker under the hood as it just didn't feel right to me...
This one is, I think, a bit better, but I just can't get the balance right between power and feel!

It's closer IMO to the real thing (that I have) but still not quite right.

Original file still feels small and 450 like, which could be down to blade size etc (I have a feeling it's been setup with 325 blades in mind) but I've changed it to feel like 350mm blades instead (bigger heli feel and more stability in flight).

Phoenix does a wierd thing of scaling up the entire heli when you make the blades bigger though - not my fault

Anyway, unzip the attached file and copy to \My Documents\PhoenixRC\Variants\helicopters

Rave3D_Tuned should appear under Rave450 in the electric helicopters section.
(Note to Phoenix... the heli is called Rave 3D, not Rave 450 )

Enjoy!
Cheers,
Rob
