This is the heavy duty version, is a little harder to control, but can lift much more weight than its little brother.
This helicopter dont uses gyros or heli parts, its just rotators and wings, the control system is based on changing the angle to pitch and roll, the yaw is controlled by the rpm diference between the rotors
i still making adjustements in some details, specially in the winch because it breaks easily at its maximun load
Flying tips:
the helicopter has a lot of power, being sometimes unpredictable. the max speed with no load is around 160 knots, but the cruise is around 130-140 knots. with the maximun load (67000lbs) is funny, but you can exceed 250knots. i recomend to fly it with 50-75% of RPM if dont have load (at 100% of rpm is hard to control it, i think is for the light frame)
the maximun weight that can lift and fly is 72000lbs, but is hard to manuever, i recomend to not exceed the 67000lbs of takeoff weight
