Having completed my two previous Hybrids I decided to try again taking forward all the best elements to another helicopter to make further improvements

Again I decided to make the chassis completely out of carbon fibre sheet extending this to the undercarriage as well

I decided I would use Century Hummingbird 3D Pro head as this would allow the fitment of bigger blades and make an altogether bigger helicopter.

The design is far removed from the standard 3D Pro with many differences which in my mind are improvements including a belt driven tail.

Primarily I wanted the following -

1. I wanted to keep down weight but new from the very lightweight construction of the 3D Pro my design would be heavier
2. Investigate the use of carbon sheet for all the load bearing elements including the undercarriage.
3. Investigate the use of delrin for structural elements
4. Create a canopy design from model to mould and cast in glass fibre.
5. Move away from the use of tail motors for tail axis control.
