Looks Pretty Smooth, AK. The tail held real well, too. What motor are you using. Sounded kind of like my Alpha 400.
BTW, Beautiful background!

I like that heli, Phil. But you already knew that. Sounds like you could up your headspeed a tad.

well probably shouldn't tell you guys this motor is a generic motor 4000kv's running a 13 tooth pinion hovering around 60% throttle . but just hovering around I think I wont be putting it in idle up for awhile might be too fast but will see

That heli sounds nice! 4000kv is HIGH for a 450 on 3s with a 13t pinion!!!!
The headspeed might be deceiving from the sound... It sounds pretty fast to me!
I hope to post a video soon with my Scopion 2221-8 with now a 13t pinion at 3400. It was at 3000 with a 12t. The sound difference is large!
Humm... Kent

The copterx has the 2221-8 with 13 tooth pinion in it and it sounds wild this one sounds quite compared to it

I'm wondering if the fact that it has 3 main bearing's might make it smoother sounding

That could be. I also wonder what your pitch is when you are hovering. I usually would suspect around 3.5 to 4.5 degrees. May be less with that kind of head speed I also wonder how much the blade tip style affects the sound Anyway, nice 450. Don't fly off that hill ;D
