big bird’s 3dx450 heli adventures

 

Hi

My name is Lorraine otherwise known as Big Bird (cos i am tall!) and i have been flying model helicopters for 2 years. I learned to fly them due to my husbands hobby and started with a cheap Walkera Helicopter.

I now have a 3dx450b model helicopter which is great to fly and practise my budding 3D skills.

I have modified the 3dx450 helicopter with Silver carbon frame parts and 325 mm carbon main and tail blades. I have also fitted an after market canopy in Fiberglass to which i applied Callie Graphic stickers from ebay. I am sure you agree it looks good.

On the technical side i run a 11T pinion to a 150 T main gear, 3500 Sonix brushless motor via Hobbywing 30A ESC with UBEC. I also use 2200 mah 18C battery’s which gives me about 6 to 8 minutes comfortable flying time. You can push it longer to 10 Min’s, but i prefer to be safe than sorry.

I have gained quite a lot of knowledge flying this 3dx 450 B about the technical set up and have invested in a 3dx 500 sah recently to fly bigger birds!

I will keep adding my own experience’s of flying the 3dx models and if you need a little bit of advise i can no doubt help you out.

Keep flying!! girls and guys.
