Default Logo 10 or Eolo

Good choice Highvoltage :-)

My Eolo is running 385mm CF Symmetrical blades, Kontronik Twist 3700 & ESC and 8 Cells. If you are getting the same motor you will want to set the linkages up for "3d". You really don't need the extra positive pitch of the "standard" setting with the 3700! If you do, it goes upwards at an unhealthy speed :-) You'll be really happy with it.

I am on stock paddles, the switch to lightened paddles and weights gives a lot more cyclic control (for flips etc) but I'm going to keep the stock ones for a while as I like the way it turns smoothly.

Very important hint: Trim half a cm off the very top of the canopy, otherwise the linkages clip the body on full cyclic. Caused me 2 crashes.

She is one sweet heli, and I fly her more than my Eco 8 or my Pic Pro.

I'm actually thinking of ditching my Pic Pro because you really can't do much with it indoors unless you live in a barn. When I go in my small garden the Eolo fits the bill perfectly, and it handles wind with aplomb. It really is a superb heli.

I'm thinking of putting the electrics of my Pic pro back in my Hummingbird as it is more suited to indoors, and a good nose in trainer outdoors.

The Eolo is tough as hell. Below is a picture after a 40ft full throttle crash into the ground, sideways. All that was broken were main rotors, fly bar, and one landing leg. Pretty amazing bearing in mind the speed of the crash.
