Hello,

I was very interested by the class 30 Iroquois that hirobo is selling. A shop with good selling price (shop is in Austria) told me this:

"We talked with one pilot flying the Iroquois, and he told us there is a
problem with the tail. The tailrotor is driven by a flexible shaft, and this
will not work fine. It seams to be very hard to set the gyro for the tail,
because the modern gyros are to good.

Today I asked the importer for the problem, and he confirmed it. He will not import the Iroquois until the problem is solved. "

Is anybody here flying with this bird? Any opinion?

Nicolas,

My son just bought a second-hand Hirobo Iroquois, it flys fine, I have done most of the flying so far without any noticeable problems.

It runs a Futaba 401/9253 gyro combo, and 9252 servos. We have only flown it on heading hold, however the previous owner said he thought that it was better on normal mode. Obviously, with an OS 37 it is not overpowered, but flys scale like.
