Are fixed pitch electric helis supported in G2?

Is it relatively easy to set it up for the micro helis such as the Piccolo or the newer Hornet?


Thanks,
Phil

There are 2 fixed pitch helis that fly
similar to the LMH 110. However, if you
are trying to duplicate the Piccolo or
Hornet I think you will run into the same
trouble with weights that I am having. The
batteries the program will let you use start
at 1000 mah and are too heavy. Also I'm not
sure if the gram weights of the components
can be duplicated. Hopefully, there will be
a fix since Great Planes is becoming more
involved with lightweight aircraft.
BTW have you flown the Hornet or know someone
who has????? :eek:

rcflyer - thanks for the comments. Let's hope that someone comes up with good G2 models of the Hornet and Piccolo.

Yes, I have a Hornet, but it isn't yet complete. Soon I hope, soon ..........


Cheers,
Phil
