The "Dragon Nest" has expanded again so I thought I post a "family photo" of me and the birds.
The newest addition is Puff-the-magic-dragon, a electric mini of the 400 (motor size) class. Puff is a T-Rex 450 SA. Power comes from a 450xl motor and a 2170mha LiPo battery. Puff is a bit over 25" long nose-to-tail and swings 325mm main rotor blades.
The smaller size makes Puff a bit more "twitchy" than the larger birds, but I've been making small adjustments and it's coming around.
This little bird requires a lot less support equipment be carried and I can fly it in the front yard. This is the only one I've been able to fly since I messed up my ankle.
I'm all ready working a scale fuselage for Puff. Before long, it will become a Bell 222 complete with retracting landing gear!
