| Yup been there done that. The GSR's carbon tail boom and belt will solve your one problem, swinging the 720's on the STD Sylphide rotorhead. It'll make the heli look a little akward but it certainly works, my one Sylphide is still set up with this mod. It will move the tail box roughly 150mm back from its original position. Oh and you'll need a carbon tail pushrod, I think the one we used were from the Vigor or something. An extra tail pushrod guide doesn't hurt either in this config.
The heli becomes an autorotation beast in this configuration but you're going to run into some other problems unless you can hide a few more gerbals somewhere in the canopy, the rotordisc becomes simply too big for the average motor to swing fast enough. Other problem is the Rotortechs really only start generating punch from 9' and up, you'll load things up too much. I can go into this in length, but you get the picture.
In closing, those blades are absolutely amazing in all respects. But a stock Sylphide head is just not going to cut it. |
