Hi, well this is the update video to all the other CH46 ones.
I really don't like the Airy blades, they don't seem any stronger than stock ones, are more prone to bending thus causing blade strike.
By all means try for yourself LOL

In this video I make some important amendments to my tips video from some time back.
We also see a bad crash caused by one of the puller rods slipping out of its cup!

Please rate and comment.

  • Thanks, I will not be getting those airy blades for mine. The blades break way too easy and it is probably part for new parts. I am in development of my own blades for mine. I found a material at the hardware store that does not break.. A pair of tin snips and trace out a default blade and cut it out and install them and so far my ch 46 can fly but only up to about a meter off the ground. If I hit anything the blades have no damage. If I figure it all out I will post it

  • Hi, the only thing to watch with blades that don't break is that you can strip the teeth of the drive gears! far more costly. For my Co-Comanche I did not fit Xtream blades until I stopped crashing it LOL if Xtream made blades for the CH46 we would all be happy

  • great vidios, after crashing my chinook 38 many times I watched all of youre vidios, and made some adjustments. Now I can pretty much throttle up the heli, let go of the remote and the heli will hover beautiful.

  • Great news

  • whats the range on this heli?

  • I once had a Century Spirit helicopter but it was so supsceptable to damage that I could not get enough practice in before it was damaged beyond repair. I now have the Micor Chinook that I picked up for about £26; a flight of which is on my Youtube channel. Although not really an out door machine due to it's radio control being in the infa red range I find it an amazing aircraft and so damage resistant I can get large amounts of practice in without having to repair it.

  • Hi mike,Thanks for your post on the CH 46.. Your post are the best I have seen.. I actually jumped,rappelled and Spie rigged out of real CH 46 helos in the USMC. your video shop work is greatly apprechiated..I hope to show mine off like you did!!

  • Hi mike,thanks again, I did not think of that..the force would have to go somewhere.. I have some material that works and breaks too..I might work on that instead

  • this is hard to fly
