Direct control head 2. two blade rotor 3. teetering head 3 D print 4. Tractor 5. blade length -400mm Disk loading AUW 650gms ..=23/5.4 =4.26 oz/sq ft .. 4.26x2 =8.5 DID NOT fly It nosed up dramatically and stalled the blades did nor spin fast enough, the overall CG was not correct and was quite heavy MODEL -2 1.
