Have been eyeing couple of scale fuselages for the trex 500.

Thinking fiberglass Airwolf or Agusta 109 from Helipross. Anyone bought these from them and got shipped to India?

Is the weight gonna be a problem for lift?

Thinking of getting an LED system as well. Gonna check out at Thakarapparambu, TVM before spending $30 on

hi mate,
commercial fuses for 500+ size helis should not be a weight prob .....but you may find it attracts more wind resistance side ways
some 450 size with stock motors have a prob with the heavier fg fuses and have to upgrade the motor or see shorter flight times
both of those look to have the 'metal/wire' retracts the 'plastic ones' have been known to fail on heavy landings

Hey Don

Thanks for the tip. Wind resistance is a point worth pondering over..hmm

I am okay with lower flight times since the pleasure of seeing the heli dressed up in a nice scale fuse eclipses that ;)

And yes, they both come with metal retracts

Looks like another canopy from Align.
