Syma S026 CH-47 Chinook ouf of the box

Just got a Syma S026 CH-47 Chinook off ebay – nice little machine.

Now if it only had a gyro and i could fly it with my 2801 Pro TX. So i removed the IR receiver and put a Walkera 5G6 RX2402 into the heli. Motors hooked up in parallel. Now i have a nice little submicro Chinook heli that has a gyro.

Only two channels for now, forward speed is set by COG adjustment. Replaced the stock battery, both 240 and 400mAh Zippys work well. Here is a little video.
