All is well with just over a gallon of 0% nitro run through the engine.

I had it cut out on me a couple of times a couple of tanks in but at low level and in front of me so I was sort off able to auto it down with out any problems.
The Rossi has been learned out a bit now I must say that it sounds superb,is very responsive with bags of power.
The heli itself is very smooth and stable,it doesn`t tend to want to go any where if you sort of go hands off for a second or two either.The only adjustment being to turn the gyro gain down a bit.( in heading hold).
Very fast on the tail as well maybe due to the JR8900 servo fitted - this may be a bit overkill really I think,but it is rock solid.

I think that the plan will be to fly it for the rest of the season (good weather over here) along side my T Rex 600N and 600E and then strip it down and get it painted.For now it stays white,at least its pretty easy to see.

Well its been a long time since I sort of finished the Sonic but today I am going off down to pick the fuselage up from a guy down the country who has painted for me.
I have been busy with other little projects but though it was time to get it done and dusted.
It will need reassembly and a new JR R921 2.4g receiver installing but maybe this season it will be flown without being plain white.
I`ll post a few pictures of the colour scheme when I get back later.

Hows your skyfox flying Malc?

Mine needs a crash kit since about 2 years ago, I think I might just get a fuse like yours.

I'll check back in.

Garland it was flying fine up until it was taken for pieces for painting.

It is now all finished and ready to be flown again,but this time not plain white.

The finished machine.....
