New 500 Heli build--UPDATE

[Rolex]

Besides scale, what benifits do 4 blade offer?

Not much as far as handling. You really can't do any 3D flying with 4 blades, so they are mostly a scale feature. Even without the flybar I'll be able to get scale flight with this one, but I'll probably add the computerized "fly bar" just for the added security.

On this heli I went with the 4 blade rotor since it just did not look good with 2. Needless to say, this much money in a bird does NOT call for aggressive flight. :whhooo:

Very cool looking. So has the new toy gone airborn yet or is she resting peacefully next to the savage?

lol.
It's in a different room, but it's been taking a break while I'm getting ready to move.

With a heli that big I assume you crate everything up and airlift it with that beast.

Great idea! I can just sit in a lawn chair with the transmitter and hook and book.

Gotta get one of those first person flight kits.
