It had the familiar shape of my Shuttle, yet all the metal-anodized parts and the more precise belt drive and the glass canopy just oozed perfection. I had to have one. I set my Shuttle RG up a bit differently from Rick s version. I used an Enya 35X for power. This is the ABC version of this engine, and so far, I ve been impressed with the performance.
Response is really quick and precise.
I tend to fly without heading lock most of the time because practicing tail-rotor control is something that a beginner should do a lot. But it s pretty neat to turn the heading lock on when I practice hovering at new attitudes and altitudes, as I can work on the visual aspects of hovering with the heading lock helping me to maintain helicopter orientation. I m using my trusty JR8103 transmitter to talk to this hardware. This really stiffens up the tail and looks cool, too. I installed a Century Helicopter Products 2-ounce header tank.
