Hummm, the Walkera UFly is fixed pitch, I might have to price out the rotorhead assembly and stuff and see if it is feasable or not.Īs a point of interest, a large fixed pitch was made by Walkera (and others) called the Dragonfly 4. So if someone has some ideas on doing up a two channel setup for the rotorhead, I am listening or reading so to speak. But those two channel helis are great fun, albeit the landings can be tricky. So I have been contemplating maybe just somehow using CCCP without using pitch and lock the pitch adjustment in place or something. I have thought about doing a larger one using 400 size components but finding a swashplate/rotorhead assembly or parts for just using two channels is tricky. It used a 90 degree swashplate if I remember right. You had forward and back and left and right for the controls. I added a throttle to mine instead of the stiff wire pendulum power switch. Oh yeah Kyosho had a cool two channel version they sold a long time ago. I did buy some parts from them for my LMH example last year though. Hard to tell from the pics I saw of the electric one. But the LMH110 and LMH120 looked to be fixed pitch still. But they may be out of the heli-business now and doing government work instead. 049 powered versions from many years ago.
LMH Lite Machines had some fixed pitch heli's I still have one of their early model LMH 100 Cox. 40 size engine powered one from Hobby Lobby when they used to sell them years ago (circa 1986).
there used to be the Cricket heli a long time ago. But I can't tell you how well it flies yet.īut it is inexpensive and they have parts for them too.Ī long time ago there used to be several large fixed pitch heli's.
I think at the moment that the Nine Eagles Free Spirit is a fiarly large one too. The Walkera Ufly is probably the biggest fixed pitch heli and it looks to be pretty stable with a three way gyro stablization system built in.
