Scratch Built Collective Pitch 3D Pro Hybrid

Introduction

This is my third design for a Hybrid Micro Helicopter based this time around the Century 3D Pro Head. Unlike the 3D Pro this design has a tail that is belt driven.

All the drawings completed in AutoCAD R14 are available for download throughout the site together with the technical details contained within the analysis page
