Default RE: Bell 47 Crash

Hi all,

some updates about the hirobo bell 47G.

Thanks for the info about servo, Claude.

I managed to bring the hirobo to the field yesterday. it flew for the first flight but the main mast stopper slipped and I had to come back to fix it.[]

Although it was jsut one flight, i can notice that the engine did starts ok. but does not iddle that well when the choke is fully open. it is too rich or lean? if i start with choke half closed, then it start ok, then i slowly open the choke and increasing throttle slowly, then it will fly well.

i did the flight with a longer set of tail blades, around 143cm and i can see that it is much better than previous 130 cm tail blades.

cheers.

Lawrence
