@krumrick2 yes, only ones I'm missing in my fleet are the Huey, your video is inspiring to make one. I heard rumours that somewhere this year there will be an EC135 & EC120 available for 50 size machines including fenestron tail. That will have me covered hehehe. That will be my winter projects for next year. Now that the summer is here I go fly my Ecureuil & Hughes :)

Nice first flight. We seems to have interest in the same models. As-350, Hughes 500e.

@gaetanboiv thank you for your compliments, appreciated! Yes, the Hughes and Ecureuil have a lot of character as helicopters. So do the Huey (Bell UH-1) & EC-135 - they are on my wish list for future projects ;-)

@pvaneijck The EC-135 with his fenestron represent, with a normal tail rotor a little problem. With a multi blades rotor, the tail rotor is not working enough. It is worst if you like the scalier speed of rotation of the main rotor.

I donot have THE solution but longer tail rotor blades is a part of it. I try to slow the main rotor speed, (2900 kv with a 10 teeth pinion) and I will try 2S on a 3 blades rotor head. 1 thing is sure, I will lack of control on the yaw axis. I will need longer tr..
