Any in-flight videos going to post soon?

Now if only the water tank was on a Huey or a H-60. Then I'd buy it pronto!

I'd just be happy if there was a PNP version for those of us who would prefer a traditional FBL, and for the tail rotor to be on the correct side. No reason not to run a scale setup (including main rotor rotation) on a setup like this..

Totally agree with you on this one! I believe you can still get the fuselage and all the components. Tail rotor should definitely be on the correct side of the boom! I do like the new GPS stuff, great for people like me that have problems with arthritis in their hands and can’t control as precisely like when I was younger before all my joint issues.

From the flight demo video Motion RC just posted it looks like the collective/altitude stick is self centering. That would be a nightmare in manual mode. Is there a way to quickly disengage that? I suppose you could remove the springs as a last resort

[DCORSAIR]

Wow, very nice little helis but that price will keep me away for now, they do look cool though.

[BEBELSEN]

Hello,
I bought this model but I have a trouble now. It worked perfectly for 3 flights.
But now, the green light flashes when the GPS signal has been found, but I can't arm the helicopter. The batteries are fully charged. Do you have a solution?

[BEBELSEN]

Can i do a reset factory ?

Hey all, I just recently received my 470 Roban Airwolf.
Having a helluva time getting the landing gear to cooperate.
It either doesn't want to fully retract, or after I make adjustments, it won't fully extend.
Part of the issue is that the grub screw isn't always in the ideal position to make the adjustments that I need.
I've watched every video I could find on this issue, but none of them help.
Also, while facing the helo, the main left side connector rod ( the long one) really arches when I retract the wheels. I've also tried to adjust it to no avail.
This thing is about to get introduced to a baseball bat!!
Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks in advance.
