In part 5 of the Roban EC130 Build series, we finally get to see how this large scale RC helicopter flies, and get to experience just how well (or poorly) a fenestron tail rotor works.
This is the best part of every new RC helicopter build in my opinion. It combines fear, fun and a great sense of accomplishment into one single event. It can also end in disaster, but that possibility has been greatly minimized by the progressive baby steps taken in this build thus far. A good deal of confidence in the helicopter, components, build & setup has therefor already been established.
It is however this first proper maiden flight of every heli I have ever built, that I remember the most; it's just one big reason why I and so many others love this hobby so much. The last 2 months all coalesce into this single flight. I also haven't been this excited about a fresh RC heli build since I flew my first turbine powered RC helicopter back in 2009. This one as well is introducing an unknown element I have no prior experience with - the fenestron tail rotor.
Before flying the Roban EC130 however, there are both internal and external scale details that have to be installed along with the ESC cooling fan, and lastly rechecking the center of gravity.
