Hello everybody who posted to this thread. I have been absent for a long time. I´m sorry cause much of you were expecting to know about the progress of my Chinook. Well let me tell you the Chinook is almost finished. Only panel lines and paint details are missing. I still don´t feel my self confident to fly it but a friend of mine, good instructor and great RC helis pilot do for me. The color scheme I chose is a tribute to the first helicopter that landed in the Antarctica after fly from the South American Continent on 30th November 1980. It was the Chinook H-91 of the Argentine Air Force. If someone is interested, follow the progress at YouTube, search there for Helimex. Thanks for all of your comments. Here some pictures.

Here a home made video of the maiden flight.

Chinook RC Maiden Flight (4 min 24 sec)

After this test, I lost a servo during a flight and almost the heli. After that, I changed the all six servo to Fut S9351 and installed a Power Box System. The difference is incredible, faster response and more stable.
Now I'm triyng to reduce vibrations in the rear rotor.

Always something to do!!!!
