    Completely agree, which is why I listed sedate and scale as separate characteristics. The option is always there to fly scale like Chuck Aaron ;).

      To me the challenge of flying scale helis is to see how smooth you can be on the sticks, give it a try Aros and you might get hooked.:Cool:

      I still enjoy helis but it has to be scale only for me. I did build a RCAerodyne Little Bird, they had a 600 size fuselage from Roban, but I don't see it listed on MRC site, wonder if its out of production?? Here it is, about 4 yrs ago I had one up and flying, couldn't find all my pics, only this one. This is where I bought mine but they are out of stock and have been for a while now.

        Found some more pics, maybe these will motivate some of you guys who are thinking about getting into scale......:)


        I had way to many, this is like 1/2 of them, when I got hooked on the EDF Jets I sold them all but one...:Confused:

        I did get into giant giant scale, I wish that is, this one was parked at the Chino airshow on display.

          That is an awesome fleet Dcorsair!! I love that Bell 47! Is that the Century version? I am the same way with my Helis, only scale birds!

            Yes, it is a Century Bell 47 and it has a little story behind it. I first bought it new from a guy, built it and flew it a bunch with an OS .37 nitro motor, I ran 600 blades and it flew very nice and scale. I then converted all my nitro burners to electric, I just couldn't do this one for some reason, so I sold it to a buddy of mine. He passed away a couple of yrs ago and his wife wanted me to have it back to display in my shop in memory of him, so I made a special shelf for it and it will remain there for display only. These are hard to find now days and some parts are no longer available.
