    Increíble, nunca pensé que un helicóptero a gomas pudiera tener tanta autonomía de vuelo.

    This thing doesn’t push any of my aviation buttons, it resembles more a bug around a street lamp.

      Then build one like the ones we built in the olde days, using eight feathers, a cork, a bit of steel spring (we didn't have rubber back then), some thin string. Flew quite well, but not like this.

    Hi! I flew the tornado for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised with times around 90s. Do you have any recommendations on how to extend the time? I don’t see a way to trim it like a plane in previous years

    I had 64 years ago I took 2 props from PW airplanes and almost the same as your helicopter. The difference was I put the tail feathers in the bottom of helicopter and the props were plastic and had shorter duration!

    got one of these. Best flight is 81 seconds with a 0.125 for 1000 winds!

      do you have tips on how to make the helicopter fly longer??
      (I have v2)
      Since I dont have a laser cutter, I am making v3 rotors out of carbon!
      Hope you can give tips

    That is a fantastic machine! You sure know how to "break" in a motor. 🤣

      Div B this year was won by a short kit airplane (and two years ago as well), and Div C was won by kits for two or 3 years running now. Not bashing kit builds, however Scioly's competition structure makes it really hard to run an aircraft design project and remain competitive in other events too.

      My only div B plane flew for three seconds. mostly cause some retarted kids kept destroying it and I built it in literally two days.
      Division C helicopter is gonna be great. no little kids, only high schoolers.
      building mine from scratch btw

    Hey! I tried messaging you on instagram but maybe it got stuck in the requested inbox. I had a couple questions about these planes, specifically the ali express one. Id love to chat about how it all works if you are free sometime. Thanks!
