My knight 50 Sport

[overspeed]

I finished and have flown my Knight a few times and just wanted to share a picture of it, as I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks for taking a look. It has 9252's on the cyclic, 401/9254 on the tail, Duralite 5.3 volt regulator with a 4300mah Li ion batt, OS hyper 50 with a CY Muscle pipe 5 on it. V blade tail 95 mm tail rotor blades, Mav Carbon Pro 600 main blades and sitckers I cut from day glo monocoat trim sheets. Oh yea, it has a Fut T6EX Fasst 2.4 ghz radio. I'm really enjoying flying it. Ultra smooth and stable. It inspires confidence right away. Tons of control authority but not at all twitchy. Anyway, thanks again for looking and thanks to the forum for providing such a great place to share all things helicopter.

Sincerely,
Dave

Hey Dave,

Sweet heli. You did a nice job on the Stickers. What did you use to tint the windshield?

[overspeed]

Thanks Steve. I just painted the underside of the windscreen using Rustoleum. I didn't mke the winds screen cutout in the canopy to keep fuel off the paint.

I did some more work with the monocoat trim sheets. The wrap on the boom supports really helps with orientation.

That's nice how does it compare to the raptor 50 Titan?

[overspeed]

I find it to be more solid and precise. It tracks better in FFF with no tendency to pitch up. My Titan has the ultra lite paddles on it and I find it a little pitchy when I get it going fast. That's a problem for me as I like to draw long lines. The Knight has plenty of cyclic authority with the stock paddles and, from what I've heard, tracks like an Evo in forward flight. Its CCPM and there is no slop in the control mechanism. I said it that way because linkages are in part up to the builder. On my Titan, I can grab the elevator arm and move it a bit. Even though the linkages are tight I can see the plastic in the parts bend, creating some play. I'm sure others could explain the "why" better, but for me the Knight is more precise, tracks better and just flies truer, if that makes any sense. Mine is the sport version, the cheap all plastic one, but it flies suprisingly well. And for the price, its would be well within reason to have another kit on hand as a spare.
