  • "Chinooks don't fly, they beat the air into submission!" - LOL What a line! You should be a copy writer!

    Great job building that yourself Jim. Twister have only just released a production model but have cheated by using a stabilized dual co-axle design.

  • That is very impressive! Well done.

  • The CH-47 is set up for DCP, and I have gyros for both pitch and yaw. In addition to the gusty wind that day, I was getting some radio glitches. In calm conditions, the heli is stable in pitch.

  • This is Jim, the builder. As for stability, bear in mind that it was pretty windy that day, and this thing is a handful in the wind. Pitch oscillation isn't normally a problem, but it's somewhat loose in the yaw axis.

  • Jim - Very Nice. Seems unstable around the elevator axis though. Does your setup allow for DCP (Differential Collective Pitch)? If so, I recommend putting a gyro (elevator axis) which keeps the heli level by applying corrections through DCP.
