RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Man I'd fix that its not to bad

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Sorry for that loss RBEAN

Get another and enjoy

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Bummer, I see they are on back order too.

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Good luck finding one... Most places show "back order" because H9 has discontinued the 60 size Hellcat.

As soon as I saw H9 discontinued the Hellcat, I dashed over to my LHS and took the last one they had in stock... :-)

Hey guys,
I have a H9 Hellcat that I will build this winter and was wondering if a nice Satio 82 would be enough power for this plane?
thanks,
Frank

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Hey Frank
The 82 will fly it marginally - ie you will be 3/4 to full throttle - and only if its well broken in to spin a 14x6 @ 9,000 RPM or more. You will need nose weight or install batteries in the cowl area.

A Saito 100 is ideal, a 125 or DLE 20 is too much but can be tamed down with a 15x7 3-blade prop.

Thanks for the reply. I fly off grass so is there a need to improve the retracts? I would like to stay with mech. retracts.
thanks,
Frank

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

The struts are flimsy and the mech retracts have a weak part that will break: the collar with the ball link that rotates the strut.

But you can try them and see what happens. I used Robart 615s and later Lados, both worked well.

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Just received my H9 F6f, what a buitiful looking bird. I got the last one from Graveshobby before they were out of stock. I thnk I will go with the Saito 100, this bird deserves it!

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

still using stock retracts...have had to adjust a bunch of times, but they are still doin what I need them to do ........so ......for now.. :)

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Can't replace the H9 Hellcat as they are OUT OF STOCK and discontinued. I still want a Hellcat and thinking of going bigger, maybe a EMS Hellcat 72" wingspan. At least they come with flaps. Anyone want a set of Century Jet Retracts with wheel well doors, (the whole system) slightly used but cheap, for a H9 Hellcat?

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

What`s cheap?:) I`m intrested, please let me know what you want for them. Send me a email at [email protected]

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

A great motor for the Hellcat...just be sure to keep after run oil in the case after de-fueling

A new plane can still be bought....one piece at a time...just very expensive...I just bought a spare cowl, canopy, and retracts

RE: H9-F6F Hellcat 60 ARF
 

Funny, yesterday I also ordered a spare cowl and canopy for my 4 1/2 year old H9 Hellcat. Fuel tank stopper just started leaking in my plane so I included a new fuel tank on my order.<div>
