| For all you electric buffs out there,
I have a complete Robin 280 kit from http://www.micro-flight.com/index.htm. I paid over 600.00 for this kit and it now lists for I believe $585.00 on the web site.
The kit includes the following:
-1 Robin 280 heli with speed 300 motor
-1 hitec feather 4 channel receiver
-2 HS-55 hitec servos
-1 Cirrus MPG-10 micro piezo gyro
-1 8 cell battery pack
-1 control mixer
-2 electronic speed controllers
-1 hitec Focus 4 channel radio
-1 original Robin 280 canopy
-1 Hughes 500D canopy (Unfinished)
-1 extra tailboom
-1 extra wood and 1 aluminum tail rotor.
-1 extra set of aluminum blades (Wood blades are dinged up on ends)
I think that's everything and the original instruction manual as well.
This project was a frustrating experience for me and I had a tough time getting this thing to fly properly but then I don't have a lot of experience with electrics (I'll stick to glow). I did get it flying outside and it is quite cool. Very rugged as well as it has bumped into my couch pillows a few times in the basement.
If you want to try your hand at it let me know. I'm selling the package for $250.00
Pictures available on request.
Thanks.
