Scale RC Helicopter Build - Roban EC130 800 Maiden Flight.

In today's scale RC helicopter build of the Roban EC130 800 size heli, we're getting the tested mechanics installed and getting the EC130 airborne.

I'll be covering important scale RC heli build items such as battery placement, fitting the mechanics, fenestron blade clearance, RX current draw, center of gravity and how not to fry your lighting system.

We'll then get this big beastie up in the air for the first time with the fuselage fitted, further checking operation, vibration and post flight log data.

By the way, motor to main shaft reduction ratio of the Roban HSM 800 mechanics is 13.8:1. I only mention this because I had a hell of a time finding it, and it's of course needed for correct head speed calculation in your governor setup.
