Looking good Scott, I see you used screen for your window openings. Did you paint the blades? Nicely matched & follows your color scheme.

Re: 450 Agusta 109
What size of motor are you using and what head speed are you running the 4 bladed head?

Does that effect the tail authority?

I have one in the box I would like to build.

This is all stock Trex 450 V2 running gear,,430 XL 3700 kv motor....75-80% throttle curve, 12% max pitch....I have not flown it yet, but I feel confident it will be a good starting setup,,I'm sure the extra gear swinging around with have some effect on tail authority, doubt it will be an issue,,,cheers
