I finally found time to put my Cuatro turbine together.

It has an SPH5 in the last of the SPS chassis and a Cuatro head and tail.

It flies so nice. I love these helis

Everything slotted together nicely to make a comparatively neat installation...for a turbine that is.

And the new solenoid valves from Jetcat are sweet.

The heli is set up with 3 headspeeds. 1350 with a "scale " pitch curve and 1500 and 1650 with a straight line pitch curve. On its first flight it was looping and rolling, which shows the confidence this setup inspires in you. Now I need to get more cyclic throw and start giving her a good work out.
