Took the mighty T Rex 600 Airwolf down to the field this afternoon for its maiden.
Had to move a lot of my electrionics forward during the build as I knew it would be tail heavy after preliminary C of G checks.
The landing gear servo I bought from HK is crap and burnt out during gear set up on the bench.
Stay away from Bluebird servos, it is supposed to be 7.5 Kg of torque but is certainly not up to running 3 retracts
I have ordered the top of the range 25Kg servo from Turnigy to replace it.
With retracts retracted I spun it up and it settled into a very neutral hover with only 2 clicks of right aileron.
No vibration at all and looks sweeeeeeeett in the air.
Very happy!
