Here is an interesting video of an Augusta 109 with retracts shooting touch and goes.

Love the fact there is no smoke and the retracts seem to work very well. Semms to have a servo slow or something similar on them.

Swift 109

I have the same heli Century Agusta 109 with a Swift in it and it's a pleasure to fly. I like to think I'm a scale flyer and this is one heli that helps me with my dream of flying scale.

There is a couple of pictures from a fun fly take by a local Photo buff in my gallery.

That is my A109A/Swift 16 and I am having a ball with it (just had my 54th flight with it the other day).

I use the Futaba 14MZ radio, which has servo speed adjustment software built in for the aux channels. I use two servos into separate channels for the retracts, and use the built in software to adjust the speeds. I would like to see the full scale A109 retracts in operation to see if the nosegear retract and extend at a different rate then the mains. If so, then I will be able to adjust for that with this radio.

Charles,

Nice to see you here. I really enjoyed watching you fly yours at that event. That is what really got the burr under my butt, so to speak, to get me one. We'll have to get together sometime and try some formation flying with them.

Too Cool

It's an easy heli to fly, I really like the electric: as you know I have the Century Bell 47GII it to is easy to fly but it still has a small smoke trail. Not bad when flying around but down close to the ground you can see it.
