UH-1M Heli being reborn again (450 size)

[Super-Hornet]

My UH-1M (450 size) is back!!
After the last major crash, it left rotten in the hanger for so long, I decided to rebuild it again...and here is it. It has different internal mechanical and electronics this time.

Just came back from maiden flight and it is perform perfectly

Too bad no one taking any video for it.

BTW, here are 2 photo of a real UH-1M.
Notice that its rotor blades are very wide chord and it is without stabilizer bar?
Also notice that the tail rotor blades spin downward as well?

[Super-Hornet]

"ScorpionM2" asked me about how do I route/change the tail rotor control for my UH-1M.

Here is the picture. I didn't take any picture showing the servo to tail slider control because it required to open up the UH-1M. Maybe on the next maintenance, I try to take some picture of it.

What I did is to move the tail slider "L" linkage from top to the bottom and then use some spacer to create some gap for the "L" linkage to move.

From tail servo to tail slider, it is controlled by a pushrod (can get it from TT AH-1W or make your own using carbon rod). There is a "L" linkage at the rear that link the tail pushrod to the elevated "L" linkage. (not visible in the photo. It is inside the frame)

Thanks Bro, a picture tells a thousand word, good enough for me to experiment. Just got to find the time Cheers!

Here is a test video I took this morning at Yishun Northbrook. I use a tiny MiniDV camera (Bought from Sim Lim Square) and I strap it onto my forehead using velcro why flying it

Sorry for the poor video quality and tilted some more. Next time try to take a better one ;)

Hi ScorpionM2

[Super-Hornet]

Thanks!

Yup! Flybarless 2 blades

slow motion make the flying more realistic, your camera can adjust recording speed? or the play back speed?
