Agusta A109 Heliartist updates

I've finished with the assembly and setting up the fuse and ready for airbrush. What can I say from my experience with assembling agusta a109 from heliartist was quite challenging. I've made several modification to the fuse to accommodate dragonus 450 frame inside this fuse.

Useful tips:
1. Rail type of base mount for mounting the heli base to the fuse. 4 long screws needed with nuts to lock the rail to fuse base. You need to drill 4 small holes. Use a square plywood to reinforce the base mount.
2. Test the heli before fix it into the fuse. Make sure all the setting correct.
3. I put the gyro under the frame mount.
4. Take your time, don't rush.
5. You need to make a square holes at the tail section for ease your tail assembly.



Some pictures during before sending my fuse to yus for airbrush.

Agusta A109 Heliartist


White beauty

Comes with detachable head for easy battery instalation

The retract is working now

Need some adjustment for my dragonus frame; battery mount, gyro mount taken out to give way for retract system.

This is my latest project after letting go my Heliartist Airwolf fuselage. I bought this fuse from flying-hobby and it arrived on my doorstep in just 3 days. This is white fuse Agusta comes with retract system. Just finished with the retract mechanism and it's working fine. I use the channel 5 as the retract channel since I only have 6chn rx and luckily I'm using Gy240 as my gryo. So here it is my Agusta 109. Still thinking of the colour scheme..all yellow, military stipes, medic heli hmm...
