Scratch Built Collective Pitch Hornet Hybrid V2

Rationale

 

Having completed my Hybrid Version 1 I decided to try again taking forward all the best elements to another helicopter to make further improvements

This time I decided to make the chassis completely out of carbon fibre sheet and to move away from vertical frames

I decided I would use the trusty Hornet head as this works well and I would also use the same servo layout

Primarily I wanted the following -

1. I wanted to cut down on weight a little to further improve performance
2. Investigate the use of carbon sheet for all the load bearing elements
3. Create a testbed for Mulitblade head setups to investigate the possibilities for use in another 1/35th model conversion
4. As usual I intended to have even more FUN!!!
