Time for an update!

I've been doing a LOT of flying since I built the first HK-450 back in January....

My personal Heli has had a few upgrades to fly as I like it to (read very twitchy!).

Things I've upgraded:

Complete alloy Rotor head
Carbon fibre main frames (save weight add stiffness)
Trex 450 pro canopy (lightweight f/glass)
4000 kv motor (pulling 55 amps!)
60 amp Esc
4S - 14.4v 2200mah lipo batteries
Digital (0.07/60) tail servo

The biggest changes were fitting the KBB tail blades & flybar paddles, Roll rate is now about 3 rolls per second v's 1 roll per sec with the stock paddles...very grin worthy!

I'm also running 4 cell packs in it now for more punch (power), it's pulling 55 amp peaks which calculates out to 670 watts! ......he he! Quite a power upgrade from the 300w original set up!

The head speed I've settled on is 3200 rpm with the carbon blades and +/- 12 degrees collective pitch, on 4S there is no bogging at all, ever!

I have had to use an align trex 450 fibre glass canopy to correct the centre of gravity when using the heavier 4S batteries....+ It's purdy.





Hk-450 in drag....Trex 450 Pro canopy is 1/4 the weight of the original one.^^

I just recently been interested in helis and i just got an e-flite blade msr as a gift and i think its great for indoor flying. Takes quite a beating too. But i think i've Kind of mastered it now. Its only 4 channel but the speed and stability it has is quite amazing for a non co-axial. Thinking of upgrading to a 3d one down the track. I guess you guys recommend the t-rexx then? Any of you guys flying with mode 1 out there?

I'm a mode 1 flyer (from flying fixed wing since I was a kid).

3d is harder to learn with mode 1, you need to be able to mix cyclic on the two sticks v's mode 2 where all the cyclic is on the one stick....

I'd recomend the HK-450 or Copter X 450 over the Trex, it's 1/3 the price for what is an exact copy of the trex 450 v2.

450 size heli's are a good size to enable you to learn 3d but small enough to be flown anywhere. Once you step up to 500 size you double the set up cost & battery costs.

Yeah was given mode 1 by accident. Gave it a try but found it impossible.
And thats just a 4 channel!! You must be quite pro. Yeah i overlooked what you mentioned above, Just saw trex and thought thats what you had. I'll look into the 450 for sure.. Cheers for that.

hello,

just wanted to find out where one would go to get their heli fixed, got a e-sky lama not too long ago had a few crashes. starts up and all but blades dont seem to be able to rotate/power up enough to fly hence no lift off.

thanks.

Any videos of any Flights Rossco?

More videos to come once I find a way to coax Fobz down to the field again....We were discussing making a couple more the other night.

I get nervous once the camera starts rolling lol....

P.s I'm nowhere near as good as this:

Heli Porn arrived today!
(Just in time for my 3 week holiday break...Woo Hoo!!)

Introducing the new HK450GT-PRO

This is a completely new helicopter, designed for hard 3D flying & high head speeds (3500 rpm)

Got Carbon?


Hmm...This should be hard to kill!



Note all the CNC alloy supports & Tail servo mount^^

CNC alloy rotor head assembly.......18 ball bearings in there somewhere!



There's zero slop in this new head design.
(This has been supplied to me as a working sample)
New RJX Carbon blades (these rock!):


The 'Fleet'


Left to right: 450GT-PRO, HK450 (upgraded head etc), Stock out of the box HK450

The HK450GT-PRO is a direct clone of the Trex 450 (ie an exact carbon copy)

Bert Kammerer putting it through it's paces ->
