Newest addition to my E-Heli Fleet

[jeepguy1990]

Just wanted to share some pics of my newest addition to the E-heli fleet. I have been building it on and off for about three years. It is a Funkey 30 size Hughes 500 with Hirobo Shuttle Plus mechanics which I converted to electric. I spooled her up last night for the first time using a MaxAmps 6s 3000mah pack from my T-rex 500. Man this thing sounds wicked just like a turbine. Can't wait for the maiden flight, just a little to windy today to trim her out.

I see that you installed the tail rotor to scale, but it looks like you didn't reverse the main rotors direction of rotation.

All I had to do was flip the belt to get the correct rotation of the tail blades so they rotate up into the downwash of the mains. The only thing I do not like about the tail is that I had to leave off the two vertical fins on the horizontal stab because of possible collision with the tail blades. I'm still pleased with the overall finished product.

That's really nice. You did a good job! :thumbup:

Seems like I'm going to have to keep my Hughes (align) fuselage and T450. No one's interested in buying it (too expensive?)... so I'll be like you an take my time building it. I wanted to build a 50 size Hughes and get a turbine heli eventually :YeaBaby:

But I'm up to 4 in the fleet now? When does it stop? :roll:

My friend Randy has somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty copters I dont think it will ever stop to an avid modeler
