Scale fuse for BlackHawk 500 ep?
I have a BlackHawk 500 SePro that i bought a year ago, and i find that i rarely fly anymore. its a real nice flying bird, and over the year ive upgraded it a bit to run on 4S, and added a decent gyro, other than that, its basically remains stock. now i was thinking of selling it off to fund other heli projects and then got to thinking, "why dont i build it into a scale bird"??
i mean, ive started my first scale build and am having a great time buiding it, and was considering doing another one.... as i already have the 500, and am used to flying it, have lots of spare parts, its really not worth selling, as you can't really recoup the money put into these things now-a-days..... the BlackHawk 500 is really a 480 size bird, the blades are 350mm, and the tail is only about 1 1/4" longer than a regular rex 450 tail.... the frame though is quite a bit larger than a standard 450 rex frame, its about 1 1/4 inches taller, and the motor is top mounted as well..... my question here, is what scale fusalage would fit this frame? as far a length goes, i could just run a standard size 450 tail boom on it, and run 335 blades, but id need a fuse that would fit the slightly taller frame.or if need be, stretch the tail .... i looked at putting the frame/mechanics in my Augusta A109 fuse, but its just a little too tall, i may have been able to fit it with minor mods to the mounting plate in the fuse, and cutting a little off the top/back of the frame itself, but chose a regular 450 frame for this build. so the blackhawk is sitting here, ready for a scale build! its a really good flying bird, and with 4s power has lots of jam, id really like to do a Bell 222, or airwolf on it, as they are a 2-bladed bird..... but im open to any suggestions on a fuse that would fit! thanks for reading my long novel like post! and any suggestions are appreciated! ginnz.
