I'm sure I've seen that heli flying recently in person.

Looks a whole lot better without those Hitec 82MG's servos on the cyclic Rob.

Nice nice flying Rob......i just love the way that a half mood forwards roll/flip seems to be incrimented into so many delayed moves like a quarts watch.......just for a split second there seems to be nothing happening and then BAM!! the heli's traveled an amazing distance in as many ms's.

[robgt]

Yes Tim, much better!!
Thanks guys
Cheers,
Rob

Got another couple of vids on the Protos today.
First flight - no changes...

2nd flight I decided to jam the Trex500 tail blades (5mm root) into the slightly smaller Protos tail blade grips (4mm root)
Huge difference on tail performance... we need some decent proper (official) carbon tails for this heli!!!

Video is still cooking, will post it when video oven goes "bing"

Cheers,
Rob

2nd flight vid on the Protos from today - carbon tail blades bade a big difference to it.
Shame they don't fit properly (sorry for butchering your Protos Trevor )

If you want better tail blades, try these also:

Same profile as the kit tailblades but not made of jelly like the kit blades, much stiffer ! And they fit the blade grips without any modifications!

I just bought one, I liked the look of these a while back, it caught my eye - but the video has swayed it. Ill post the spec in a bit.

My missus thinks im a spoilt git.

[robgt]

I'm sure you will enjoy it!
Definitely get carbon tail blades if you can, it made a big difference for me.

I like your scorecard in your sig
LOL

Thanks dude - As long as that number stays higher on my side then Im doing ok

I will order the blade right now

Im waiting for some battery packs to come in stock though, I can only see 2250mAH not 2500mAH - or will the 2250mAH be ok??

[Bauerjack]

Oh, this is the spec

1 x MSH Protos heli
3 x Hitec 5245 MG cyclic servos
1 x Align 60 A ESC ( as used on Trex500)
1 x Align 600 HH gyro with Hitec65 MG tail servo
1 x MSH 26-10 brushless motor
1 x (pair) 425mm Carbon Main blades

Just need suitable lipo to fly.

Im gonna change the tail servo though me thinks..
