450 coastguard heli flight

Post by DOG »

I didn't have any 6S batteries for my new Gaui X3L to fly today so having the itch to fly I broke out my coastguard heli for a few flights :) I zoom in a little to much but it works https://youtu.be/YthGQXQilps

Nice flight DOG:) It was a little weird at the start, i thought the tail was wagging badly, then later on in the video i realised it was a flashing light that was creating the effect of tail wag:) Nice one:)

Well that Coast Guard fuselage is under repair due to crash :( Here's the 450 frame that was in it and repaired. This is a test flight to make sure everything is fine before I put it in this https://scaleflying.de/product_info.php ... rsion.html Just having fun :D

I really don't know what my head speed is Derek? I mostly go by sound and how the heli reacts. I do know that i'm using 13T pinion on the motor, 13 degrees +/- pitch and running throttle curves at 85 on 1 and 90 at 2.

Thanks Graham. Just glad that I live in Florida. I don't really have to worry about bad weather much beside hurricanes :(
