Century scale md 500e question ??

[jrumer]

Does anyone know if the 620 swift will go in the century md 500e 50 size scale fuselage ? I have one and was planning on putting the 50 scale mechanics in it but I think id rather go electric. thanks

Sounds like an interesting project. I would call Century and have them do some measurements for you...as both the heli and the fuselage are from them.

Yes the Swift will go into the Century 500 fuselage. You could probably get two of them in there. I doubt it would fly, though. The Align 600E is a perfect fit, though I installed a Raptor head, because the Align fly bar is very close to the top of the 500. It flys like a dream.

I also have a 600E in Centurys Agusta 109 and their Bell 222. I have another one in Aces Esquereal ( spelled something like that ). The Raptor one is a perfect fit, costs much less than Century and is a dream to fly. I have built 3 of the Raptor ones for myself and friends. It is definitely a beginner project.

Hmmm...I found the fiberglass and paint jobs on my Century fuselages of a much higher quality then the TT ones.

The Swift also flies very well.

I have recently had the opportunity to fly the Swift 16 that was mounted into this fuselage - beautiful fuselage and a very nice flying combination - and he was only using a 4 cell pack! The retracts it came with really worked well and looked great in operation.
