Some fun flying with the 500 size CH-54A and MH-53J last week.

Got a few more flights in on the 500 size MH-53, and it’s good to have it behaving nicely. Finally got the cyclic gains high enough that it doesn’t feel as squirrely in ground effect any more. I think I can finally (mostly) call this project complete.

After a few months of tuning and troubleshooting, I finally got the 500 size MH-53M Pave Low up in the air today. Still have some issues to sort out (uncooperative retracts), but it's now flying smoothly. Thank Paul Lange for the excellent in flight photos!

Another project airworthy! Got the 500 size MH-53M Pave Low up in the air today for a few test flights. Cyclic gains still need some tuning, and the ramp servo needs replacement, but it’s close to complete. Has the most features I’ve tried to pack into a 500 size model before, including retracts, no...
