Good luck and looking forward to the pictures and report !!

Heli-Baby enters the new millenium!

OK, so I don't have the original GI Joe for my model... so my heli is now being flown by one of the "Bratz Kidz".

Ready for the electronics now.

Take care that your pilot has tightened seat belts from good strengthness and a single pelvis belt is not enough. Additionally you should mount two shoulder belts, perhaps cross mounted, perhaps not, that you must try.

This is no joke!

When you have a crash in forward flight the pilot becomes a projectile like in real cars. I have that in my mind from one Baby crash: The pilot has really flown thru the canopy!! The number of change parts was small: both blade pairs, both shafts, nothing else. GI Joe had a broken arm and.....a canopy with an (unnessesary) hole in the front.
So fasten your seat belts please

Next build steps. Radio is now installed, all throws are correct, and CG appears to be right on! (Battery is inside vertical "instrument console" ).

Last Build Pics... next ones will be flight pics.

This kit went together really well. Improvements to the original design were well thought out and executed. I am looking forward to the pending flight tests!
Thanks Gerd!

tutelar,

That was superb!

I miss my HeliBaby!!!

I have been following this and another build thread-the quality of the new kits appears to be superb.

I noticed your comments about using the gyro.

My guess is that you will probably not be running a governor!
(LOL!).

Good luck with your beautiful new (old) machine!

First Forward Flight!

Probably a little windy for the first real flight of a fixed-pitch heli of this size...

After bouncing it a couple of times, I started to get the feel of anticipating power requirements about 3 to 5 seconds ahead. Obviously, need less power into the wind and more power with the wind.


Spectrum DX7 radio with rate gyro.

Excellent reproduction kit from minicopter.de - Gerd is a great guy to deal with!

Enjoy!

Man, were you ever grinning after landing!

That was great!

I want to post a link to a thread on another forum, where another person is building a Helibaby:

http://www.rchelimag.com/forum/show...08&page=1&pp=10

Perhaps the two of you can compare notes!

Gerd at [www.minicopter.de] is definitely a great guy!

A small package arrived in the mail as an upgrade to the original kit.

This tail pitch slider bridge is made of brass with a bearing, so it will not wear out.

This definitely will help keep this retro bird in the air for a long time to come.

Thanks again Gerd!
