MadMan's RC Aircraft Site NEW HORNET and MICRO HELICOPTER SECTION
|
Section is dedicated to Hornet II and scale
applications for micro electrics. Check out my
Night Flying Hornet Airwolf pics at the bottom!
HORNET II - The best micro flyer on the market
SPECS for the perfect machine:
- Stock Hornet 2
- Hacker 20-22s
- Phoenix 10 or Schulze 11.2 ESC
- ThunderPower 1300 mah 11.1 v
- GY-240 (NOT a 401)
- Center ball mod (only upgrade)
- HS-55's on cyclic
- HS-50 on tail
- Berg 5 or Futaba Rx
- Can get a better shaft (e.g. Walt's) and you
may want to consider changing torque tube to
3-4 bearings to prevent whip.
Now imagine that - no fancy upgrades! You
can see vid's of this config flying in the
MadMan Productions video section
NOTE: The pics at left have a test bed motor
and ESC installed. Stick with what's above
for the most success!

Still ADDICTED to Hornets after all these years and money. It was like a zen thing - after tons of
