EXCELLENT Bob!
I do have a request when you get it done, post a pic of the Swift - Trex 600 - Lepton - Trex SE all together so we can get a physical size relationship of the machines. Your combo is the one I have been looking at so that is an added bonus for me.

I have posted a BUNCH of new vids for those interested.
Man the CCPM on this bird is very different..... I spent an hour doing calculations trying to figure out how to use stock Fuatab servo wheels and getthings right. Int he end... I drilled my own wheels... The "servo wheel" vid might be worth a look to those interested. Bob

Got the maiden flight in Sunday.... Here is the vid
VIDEO -> Maiden flight of the Swift (35 megs) I have some trimming and other things to adjust plus I want to go Carbon blades and get the head speed up more (I am thinking 2200 would be real good). I have the swash cyclic set up FULL (e.g. just to the point where the swash would start binding).... Cyclic is BLAZING FAST and even after putting in 30% expo it is clear I need to slow it down some so FF is cleaner..... All said and done next weekend I should have her completely TUNED and I will share what I did. Bob

I was thinking... the heli manufactures would do well to hire you to make the videos and then put them with the kits on a DVD. If a company did that it would be a serious cause for people to be more inclined to buy their models vs another. Jev |

Me too Dan!
I think they dont get that E-heli's are drawing a lot of new people and the usual "manual" just doesnt cut it! Not that I want to make money on this I really dont! I love to do the build vids and all I require is the heli! I always want to kepe this a hobby not a JOB.... Kinda stupid aint it? Bob
