Hey Guys,

I have attached some photos of my new Gaui CH-47 Chinook helicotper that I have just finished the mechanics and setup! I will have to wait until I get a realitively calm day to test fly it! My son is putting the decals on the fueselage, so I was not able to take any photos of that!

Good job Richard. Got my rear elev servo relocated with the "V22chap" mod last night so I hope to mount the fuselage today and do a few check flights, then on to add the Trumpter scale details.

Lipo Monitor!

Hey Guys,

I just installed a Lipo Battery Monitor with an Audio Buzzer Alarm! It gives you a very bright visual indication of your battery status with different colors as the battery runs down! It will also give you an audio alert when it is time to come down! I have them on all of my electric helicopters and it sure makes flying them a lot more fun when you do not have to worry about when the battery is running out of juice!

Test Flight!

Larry & Boyd,

Well, I finally got a morning without any wind to test fly my Gaui Chinook! It is very squirrely to say the least! The front head kept wanting to come up first! However, I did manage to get it off the ground about one inch for a couple of seconds! It also wanted to turn to the left a lot while I was applying pitch to get it light on the skids, but then when I put in right rudder trim it tried to turn to the right as it went into the air! Some how one of my blade grip fittings broke, so i am going to need another "A" blade, which hopefully is coming in my free "crash kit" which should arrive next week sometime!! I have moved the battery forward infront of the motor to see if it had too much aft CG! So, as not to ruin a perfect flying morning, I went ahead and flew my Hirobo E-Chinook, which is trimmed up and flys soooo gooood!!

Hey Guys,

How do you like my new dual wheels for the front of my Gaui Chinook fuselage! Not exactly scale, but a whole lot closer to scale than the single wheels wouldn't you say?
