Hi All,

I thought I would share a picture of my 30 size Century Helicopter Bell 222 that I
am finishing up with.

Hawk Pro Mechanics
O.S. .32

I can't wait to fly it!

Really nice scale project Gary. The Bell is one of my favorite scale helis. Try to get some video of the flight.

Where do you fly up there? I spent 4 years in Anchorage and miss it so much.

:cool: Gary you did an excellent job! Did you paint the scheme? Where did the fuse come from? :cool:

Hello,

I think Anchorage is a great place to live as well, I fly my helicopter over off of Klatt Road over by Huffman or South Anchorage. Nice wide open field.

I learned how to fly on my own this spring with the help of this awesome magazine and Great Planes G3 flight simulator. I do all aspects of remote control, cars,planes,boats and really wanted to get into helicopters. There is just hardly anyone that I have seen flying helicopters here=(. I think already having experience with remote control made it a little easier learning how to fly as well.

The Century Hawk Pro is a great beginner helicopter that is very stable and easy to setup and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to fly helicopters.

I got my Bell 222 prepainted from Helicopter World/Century Helicopters out of California. They are a great group of people with a great support staff and huge inventory with awesome mail service. I ordered this fusaluge from them and it arrived in a big box in 3 days via USPS Priority Mail to Anchorage, AK. WOW! Most all my orders arrive in 3 days.

I liked my Hawk Pro so much I purchased another one and upgraded from a .30 size to the .50 size and installed a O.S. .50 Hyper with carbon fiber upgrades throughout the helicopter.

This is my Hawk Pro with OS. .32 last week before I took it apart and started putting it into my Bell 222 helicopter. This helicopter has flown 3 gallons without any problems.

Too fun!

Update,

I decided to install a O.S. .37 instead of a O.S. .32 just thought it would be nice
to have a little extra power with the added weight and decided to add lights
to it as well.

No maiden flight yet but soon

Well, I finally finished the Bell 222 30 size. I am amazed of the power of the O.S. .37
compared to the O.S. .32. Big difference indeed but uses more fuel.

I took this to the baseball field to test the mechanics and do a little hovering to make
sure everything is dialed in before I head to the field.

It just needs a little tweaking but it hovers great!
