Bergen R/C Helicopters > I'm in love

Well, I have finally flown a Bergen. I have been doing aerial photo work, and have been making do with a Raptor 50 Hyper - but recently partnered up with another company and am now maintaining and flying a very nice Bergen EB with a Hanson G26 swinging 840's.

This heli had been sitting for quite a while, and I took it out to get my feet wet with it for a while. It flew like a dream. Steady, smooth, stable - and GOBS of power. Only thing that went wrong was that one of the boom supports came lose from the airframe and was hanging from the tail boom. I landed with a little backward motion so the support would fold forward. Worked fine. Also noticed on landing that the muffler was a little loose.

Looking forward to flying some more - great machine.

Good save, Tim.

Sounds like you've got your maintainence work cut out for you. Must be the builder missed a few spots of locktite.

Well, this one's a self-locking nut. Reasonably sure that at one point the boom was removed and this was just missed. Here's hoping anyway.
