Test flying of Swift

At the weekend I worked on my Swift so that it is a more capable flying machine. (is that possible with a swift?). I have replaced the receiver with an AR7000 so I can fly using my new DX7, I added a new S9254 tail servo to compliment my 401 Gyro, and probably the best item I changed was the motor. I now have a Century 600+ on 12T pinion instead of the endurance stock motor.

Yesterday, Ash and I met up so that he could check my set up. After a bit of fine tuning, i.e. the meshing was too tight etc it flew a treat, although Ash thinks I need to change the pinion to 13T which I have now ordered as well as other bits that I dont need! (But it justifies the postage - well thats my story anyway :-))

Weather is pants today!

Well, it has rained all day today and I havent been able to get out and fly any of my helis. I found my heli friend's (another Sue) blog whilst mouching around on the net so I thought that I would create one myself for the fun of it.
