MI-2 turbine 1st flight

[Peter Wales]

I dont know i f this comes under turbines or scale!

Well I finally got it in the air!!! The tail is way way sensitive as you will see on the first part of this video. It took me a little while to get the feel of it. I'll be changing the rotor blades for some smaller ones which will be thinner chord and more scale.

Anyway, enjoy the video

That's very smooth Peter. Are you using gyros on the head? :)

No gyros on the head. I am very impressed with the stability and control on this head, it works very well. I had to wind my Lama up to 1050 rpm with the same size blades to get the same flight characteristics.
