My Posts This: Topic Forum | CYAG: This one's for you WellmakerButch has been bugging me to post on runryder so I thought for my first post I'd begin by commenting on the S-76.
To those of you who can only experience this build from Runryder, all I can say is you are missing out! The Pictures do not do justice. I am one of the fortuante few to see this bird as it goes together first hand, and It's an incredible piece of work and will be amazing to see flying. Awesome work Butch! I get second flight right?
Also, I'd like to clear something up.. It is my understanding that many do not know that Butch Pioneered a heli manuever in his early RC helicopter "career". Its a manuever that is widely used today.. many of us perform it and never known its origins..As Butch is more widely known for his SCALE flying, this little nugget of sport flying has slipped thru the cracks without Butch getting the proper credit.
So here it is: OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED.
THE WELLMAKER
From level flight, roll the heli inverted pushing the tail down,
With the heli upside down with the underside of the nose at 2 o'clock
push negative collective into a climb.
while climbing, piro the tail around 90 degrees or 270 for an advanced "WELLMAKER"
Complete the wellmaker by adding aft cyclic and positive collective to rotate back over.
So those of you performing this "ground breaking" (pun intended) manuever, please give credit where credit is due.. (that means you Youngblood..)
Ok Butch, first post under my belt! How'd I do? 
I'm thinking for my next post I'd discuss the mint mouth spray you recently aquired.. |
