600 UH-1N Twin Huey- ARF Bundle - Build and Impressions

[F106DeltaDart]

Have been following your thread and am currently building the same heli but a hevi lift version. What battery for 6s did you end up going with? Thanks!

I used an Admiral 6000mah 6S Pack

Been flying this guy for a while now and have received a few questions on the paints that I used. Since I was recently doing a few touch ups, I figured I would post the color list here. I used Tamiya AS-14 Olive Green (USAF) for the lighter green, and airbrushed model master acrylic Euro 1 Dark Green and Gunship Gray for the rest.

Looks and sounds great! Very nice flight too.

Hope to to see it Dalton this year ear.

Thanks man! Definitely planning on bringing it to Dalton this year. With all of the new projects I’ve been working on, packing the car is going to involve some tough choices!

Yeah I seen that too, all the ARF bundle kits disappeared off their site once they sold out, maybe short supply of mechanics or something.

Is that that the phoenixtech 600 ESP kit? It came with it? Where did you get the whole package?

It is Phoenixtech 600 CF kit: https://www.scaleflying.com/Chaos-60...e-_p_4740.html. Motion used to offer an “ARF Bundle” option that included the fuselage, Chaos 600 mechanics, motor, ESC, and servos in one package. Seems to have been removed from the site now, I wonder if they may be revising the included contents.

Thanks Hardway! Got out the Huey today for its first flight with the FLIR and completed flight crew. Almost finished now, just a few last touches to go!

Finished up detailing the FLIR. Only a few more details to add now.

Progress on the 3D model for the FLIR. Hoping to get everything printed out tomorrow.

Was a great afternoon for flying today. Put a few flights on the UH-1N in gusty conditions and it handled it great! Still have a few more details to add, but it is almost complete.

Ah.. personally, I’d rather trim the frames. Cutting the doghouse would be messy.

Well, I got the motor coming, so we shall see what happens. I would rather trim the doghouse myself but it won't look good with the motor showing, it will help with cooling, I thought for $80 is was worth trying to see if it fits, better than $200 I was going to spend at first, I can alway sell it if it don't work and I have to cut to much on the doghouse, thanks for your help with this project, I still need and ESC and BEC or get one of those ESC with a built in BEC, not sure yet which way I will go on that. Here it is, almost ready for it's test flight.

Thank you, I'm trying to get it from him, only bad thing is, I will have to trim the doghouse because it is a tall motor, it's taller than the normal 600 motor but I won't have to trim the frames, don't know which one I would rather do....

Saw this over on RCG: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...E-600xf-1100kv. Looks to be a smaller 1100kv motor. Might be worth a try.

Okay, that is what I thought, still confused about the spacers, so your kit has the same parts as mine but yours came with wider spacers and bearing blocks? So on my kit conversion, all my spacers and bearing blocks were only 47" wide, I can't use the motors that are 49", now I got a problem trying to find a 1100 kv heli motor that will fit inside my frames. its like they made two different sets of spacers and bearing blocks.
