The most current version is the AOCC Eagle 3 SWM with SSZ-V head.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Doc Ben -

Any info posted/published anywhere on this kit? Also, do you know if the manual is available somewhere as a download?

Also wouldn't mind seeing some close ups of the model without the canopy if you know of any.

Big thanks!!!

The E3 is an absolutely gorgeous model. I was fortunate enough to get close to Mr Hashimoto's E3 models at the World Champs. Beautiful!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yes, I was very lucky and got to spend a lot of time with Mr. Hashimoto and the Hirobo crew during the Worlds competition. I must say it was amazing to see the condition that they kept the helicopters. Not a spec of anything on the helicopters.
From what I remember Hashimoto had 4 helicopters all wrapped in Black Shark bodies. All of his heads were the newest SSZ-5 heads. He was flying a v-pus model for much of the time and he would also take up his Black Shark SST-Eagle 3 SWM AOCC. When he pointed the model in the direction it would just go! When he rolled the helicopter on the high speed maneuvers it rolled on its axis like it was on a frozen rope. Sure I know the elegance of the flights came from piloting and he is a former world champion but it also comes with the model. I know he would not be able to be so precise with a Turbulence (lets face it, we will leave it to Dominic to fly that helicopter)
Hashimoto’s helicopters were smooth and graceful and set up with care.
