New Owner 5.5

[MGPTWEGB]

Well... I will be working on the outer boom mount next so the tail control rod clears ..... The rod will now run along the top of the boom to the 3 blade I2 tail unit.

Really cool that you have the equipment and the skill to do this.

Larryu Really cool that you have the equipment and the skill to do this.

Hope one day a helicopter company will put me on as test pilot, demo pilot or field rep...... As I love building and flying .....
I like the KDS drive line.... and with the 7.2 sharing many parts its a good platform to make changes on.

Thanks for the props Larryu ! I'm glad someone is injoying the build as much as I am

Here are the latest photo's.... Boom is mounted control rod has moved to top of boom.

Wow!!! That's neat, very nicely done!!! I like what you have done, does it weigh more than std?

I have been thinking about getting a 5.5 for a while.....

[MGPTWEGB]

once I finish it I'll post weight.... I'm sure she will be heavier than stock...
build is setup for 630 main blades.... So you have the add tail boom weight and the frames.......

I'm still flying mine. Your wright there's not a lot of post on here, which is a bummer I like to talk about flying my Agile, I also have a Gaui X3 and there's always posts on that forum, I wish there were more activity here. You've really created a new helicopter with the number of changes you've made it's got to fly different.I check every so often and did realize you had been making post, I wish I had you fabrication skills you've done a beautiful job modifying the 5.5.
