New toy first flight.

Just thought I'd like to share the maiden flight of my latest model.

Edit, How do you embed videos.....................I must be as thick as pudding!!!!!!!!!

very nice :D i have a 450 atm and can fly circuits and stuff with it, and some 3D but only tried on the sim, need to get me something bigger (easier, but more expensive to crash?).... the HK600 a good choice? i'd also been looking at a raptor 30/50 but they're nitro......

[Noddy]

What you have just seen is an HK600. They're not bad but you do need to make some changes in the interests of safety and durability. I have changed the swash, main gear, flybar paddles (personal choice) and rear pulley. Everything else is as supplied with the exception of the fuselage of course. Electric is the way forwards but if you want Nitro take a look at the TZ .50 V2 from Hobbyking. I have one of those too and it's a fantastic helicopter.

changed to what? align parts?
and i'm not really after a nitro, just heard good things about the raptors

[Wideboy]

ah i been looking for someone who has built one of these, i was looking at the 500 a while ago but wasn't sure on the quality?

i rebuilt my cypher 3D the other month due to moving to somewhere surrounded by fields. Shuved in some trex 450 bits, flown it once since then but its still to tired

[Noddy]

Yes, Align parts. I had them in stock for my T-Rex 600 nitro. The Raptors are excellent but very dated, actually being phased out altogether now as Thunder Tiger lost the plot a little and didn't move forwards. They are now pushing the new range of X50's to try to regain their foothold in the market.
