As many of you know, I was given a Trex 600 Pro DFC RTF about a year and a half ago. I'm very grateful to the guy that gave me that helicopter. It's been an awesome machine!!!
I have another friend that has decided to give me an HK Assault 700 kit. No electronics nor blades, which is fine with me because I can build it the way that I'd like to have it. So...my hanger just got bigger!!! I'll be looking for a good Scorpion motor and servos. I have a Castle Edge 160amp esc. An Ikon flybarless controller and Glacier 6S packs will surely be on order soon. Zeal main and tail blades, for sure. I'll have to find a canopy that I like because this frame did not come to me with one.
Now...I'm sure that some (Tony, lol) will probably cringe about the idea of an HK 700 helicopter but I have two Youtube buddies that have the Assault 700 and their helicopters have over 30 flights each. I've also seen several other Youtube videos of this helicopter and it seems to be flying very well....with some Align upgrades....easy enough.
It's gonna be a while before I will start the 700 build because I have some other plane and quad projects going on right now but I'll order the electronics for the helicopter when the money allows. Very excited about this build!!
