Scale Bell 222 helicopter test flight

Here is a early flight of my 222 after mounting the fuselage. I had to diassemble the helicopter to mount it in the body, so my trims were out and needed adjustment. It also needed a lot of expo dialed in as it was very sensitive. I have videos of it flying around after all those adjustments. Click my username.

how high can it go?

[helipilot27]

@worracsk8er It can as high as you want. If you could see it you could fly it out of radio range. The only limitations are radio range and visual range of the pilot.

Now what is the flight time on a Helicopter like this one?

[helipilot27]

@DKoppJr Depends on the tank and engine size. Most nitro choppers can fly around 7-8 minutes in idle-up mode. Maybe a little longer in normal mode.

can the rotors slice someone?

@spamdude060

I have seen one person get hit by a 50 size heli rotor...it bruised his arm pretty badly but thats it. They are designed to pivot at the head to prevent major damage, but if you crash one there is not much left. The Centrifugal force keeps them straight at speed.

Where did you get the body?

[kpdl30]

it's a good thing that;s a toy, if that was the real thing you was in trouble moving around like that. but you could handle it well.

Dizel?

@helipilot27 and fuel

[craigsmithx]

you make it look painfully easy to fly. Couple grand worth of hardware there? I'd like one but would have to buy stock in Rolaids for fear of crashing.

[DarthAndre24]

Wow.

The smoke makes it look like it's on fire and about to crash... Beautiful helo though.
