Whiplash Nitro Update

05-13-2021

In my last two blog posts, I covered the building process of my new Miniature Aircraft Whiplash nitro helicopter. The build has been completed, and the helicopter has 20 or so flights on it at the time of this post.

It took several flights to get used to it and start opening it up, but each flight gets better and better. It`s a very well designed and build helicopter, and it just screams quality. It is smooth, stable and predicable, which makes it even that much more fun to fly it.

The red canopy is a little hard for me to see in some orientations, but it`s nothing that I can`t get through.
Miniature aircraft will be sending me the neon orange canopies when they send me my Whiplash 730E and Fury 57, and I should be able to see them a lot easier.


Parts count on this helicopter is pretty low, which is a plus in the event of a crash. But from what I have seen from my team mates crashing them, they don`t break very easily.

The Whiplash is build to last, and even though they are build so tough, they are still reasonably light as well. Mine weighs in at 12.6 pounds with a full tank of fuel, and the tank holds a quart of fuel. I will try to get the empty weight, and include that in my next blog post.

It will take a wide range of main blade lengths from 690mm to 720mm. I have 710mm KBDD Extreme Edition main blades on mine, and it flies great.


I love the layout of this helicopter too. It has a ton of options for electronics placement and wire routing, which makes for a very clean appearance. That`s very important to me, because I do not like messy wiring on my helicopters. I will be posting updates here and flight videos on my youtube channel often, so stay tuned for those. my you tube channel link is; https://www.youtube.com/user/GeenaTucker
