Pascal Senior Heliman Location: Paris, France
| What I like about the ThreeDee NT :
The sound, or to be precise its absence.
The maintenance, no vibration, no cleaning, no free-play, no trouble for the first 4 gallons.
The weight; which make acrobatics look huge, easy and almost effortless (although it is not the case from the pilot's standpoint)
What I dislike :
The speed, because my airfield is somehow limited and as it goes fast far away, I will soon need binoculars.
The sound, because I need to get used not to hear the engine, 82 dB 3 meters away hovering at full speed (1700rpm) while it hovers at 1350rpm and 79dB
The look, because I need to get used to it when it is far away.
What I liked most :
the user manual, from a box to a hands free hovering helicopter at 1400rpm without any mistake, tuning or even triming.
Definitely a very unique helicopter
And if you want to see nice pictures of the building process, have a look at the site of a friend :
