I love the way your heli looks, flat black and missles on the sides... really sharp man! I had a airwolf fuse on my trex 500 but sold it, bringing it anywhere was a pain in the ass with the guns on the sides and the fragile side fins and tail fin. I love watching watching scale flying though, nice build and you have some great looking helis in your collection, subscribed and thanks for sharing.
I eyeball each blade grip at 0 pitch. Before mounting the blades, I stacked the rotor blades and put a allen driver thru the mounting holes to keep them even.
Starting with the blade on the top of the stack, using a silver paint pen, I placed a 3mm dot on the leading edge tip of the blade.
I then marked each blade with one dot in a step pattern, with a 3mm spacing between each dot.
Look closely at the video and you can see the tracking dots.

@QMAXIMUS - BTW, the weapons pods are magnetically attached. Removing them makes it easy to fit in the HeliTote bag.

This is actually not a MH-6! It's an AH-6. The MH-6 is an unarmed team carrier, while the AH-6 is armed like yours.

Wow...this looks great!! I look forward to seeing it at the flying field soon. Hopefully this seattle weather will treat us good this winter.

Sweet! You build the nicest looking helicopters. Has this one flown yet? What are you using for stabilization?

@uhrik - Thanks.
Yes, I 've flown it several times. It does not have electronic stabilization.
It has weight tipped rotor blades, that give it stability.
However, it is only comfortable to fly on near zero wind days, and that is rare here in Seattle.
When it is a little breezy it is difficult to fly, and requires very good pilot skills.

@uhrik - I don't like being grounded, due to wind conditions.
So, I am going to put a Skookum SK360 on it.

Very nice! How crazy hard is it to get tracking adjusted on these 5 blades?

@salvix001 - It is actually not very hard at all.
