The lady is flying. 100mAh lipo, Walkera 5G6 4-1, servoboard mod proportional tailmotor for 3rd channel. 6:30 flighttime. Based on the famous IR Toy Airwolf helicopter. Build log here.
Just did the first testflights with the Airwolf coax helicopter – made from the well know RC toy heli, the IR, 3Ch Airwolf.
inside look: Airwolf 3 Ch 2.4GHz gyro-ed
The electronics were removed and replaced by a Walkera 5G6 4 in 1 (RX2402) which has 2 brushed motor outputs, 2 servo outputs and an onboard gyro. The 4 in 1 goes into the body quite nicely – only little cutting was necessary.
The heli is now powered by a 50mAh Zippy lipo – maybe a 70mAh or even 110mAh will also do.
Because of a broken rotorblade tip i had to cut the blades back – not good, because lift is decreased significantly – now im waiting for new blades.
The third channel is used to controll the vertical tailrotor. This rotor achieves forwars and backward flying. The motor is powered via a servo board (PCB) which instead of driving the servo motor drives the tailmotor.
