You are welcome Sir....and Merry Christmas to you all@@TheRMRCchannel

[@binauchich]

Super

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Thanks

[@davidbradley6448]

Epic! I built an overweight Vario 230 with Benzin gas mechanics and loved the extra mass. The damped response from the added weight smoothed its reaction to wind and stick movements, adding to the enjoyment and scale impression Also, you could try drilling a shallow (2mm) 3mm dia hole in the top of one blade. It sounds more scale as you hear the blade chop at half rotor speed. Well done.

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Thank you very much I might try that.

[@shaundavies5151]

Great video

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikestubbs8733]

Gonna be following your progress from the USA.... maybe I will fly mine someday.... heli are hard as hell to fly... I was pretty good at airplanes but very little hovering tome with electric helis... had a small electric heli once but it got where couldn't buy the fiber glass blades any longer even had a airwolf kit but never put it on it...

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Thank you I do appreciate it very much. Videos are slow at the moment because busy in life but they will keep popping up as and when I get chance.

[@majorsmackdown]

If you warm up ball links with a heat gun they can shrink a bit when they cool off. Might not need to replace.

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Thanks for the tip I’ll try that next time as already replaced them now

[@noelfroggatt416]

What a beautiful helicopter, as a new subscriber I find these very helpful and interesting, please keep making more. 🙂

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Thank you and thank you for the support, I will be.

[@maelotransportationmonedas4688]

Wow that very nice , i had make one frame complete but now cant find a fuselage for it and the fuselage in sale they are imposible ❤

[@OliveiraX]

I’m a little curious about esc and motor temperature, and mAh consumption. Keep us posted.

[@kennyjohnson3837]

Enjoyed the video. Yes, the Airwolf is a sweet scale choice. My Align Nitro Pro 50 has been sitting in my closet for years... never flown or fueled up.... I may have to get the ol girl out and girl her a try someday soon.... just gotta figure out how to set up the JR heli radio?

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Not sure about JR never had one. I use Spektrum and Graupner for my radios, Spektrum for the helicopters as real easy too set up.

[@kennyjohnson3837]

@@TheRMRCchannel gotta new Hitec Aurora 9x but don't know how to program it.... I used to know how to program Futaba radios years ago but forgot it all

[@xXRapToRiXxGamer]

Awesome bird 👌👌 Did you look into using non-symmetric blades? On 6S you would get more efficiency that way. Cheers

[@TheRMRCchannel]

Semi Symmetrical blades are hard to come by here and quite expensive compared to a set of fully symmetrical ones but to be honest on scale models I never have an issue with them if set up right
