The old bird stretched her wings again today for the first time in possibly a long time, the tracking took a bit to adjust but once that was done the tail servo was found to be far from acceptable. So we decided on ordering a new one in, once again trying to cut corners costs more I guess. :rolleyes:
The os .37 seems very peppy but in it's inverted orientation I had to lean the low jet out about 2 hours to make it not flood out trying to start. It may be too much for this helicopter, but if the customer balls it up at least it will be more then suited for any other .30 size bird :)
As for right now the blades seem to be working out, time will tell.
oh well, here's some pics.
