Senior Heliman
Location: Westchester County, New York
| I thought the biggest problem was getting the engine to run right? I remember seeing posts, a few years back, where people thought that motor was hard to set up and a bit finicky. Search for eLMH conversion here (or at rcgroups.com) and read about some of the electric conversion. Don't know if LMH still sells a conversion kit. And don't know if converting (moving servos, 35A electronic speed control, brushlwess motor, 8-cells, grips, etc.) would be worth it on such an old design. Maybe a new heli like the T-rex? However, not having to worry about fuel, noise, and a starter is a real joy. I started on the Corona 120 and don't regret it. |
Much tougher than any other helis I have or have had. Still running the stock plywood fuse. Pretty well unbreakable even from a 20 ft. drop. Nicknamed Rotorooter.
Making a set of skis for it right now till this blizzard blows over. Won't have to dig so deep for it in the snow.
