Looks fantastic cant wait to see more pictures, have you any build pictures?

Quick question where did you get the four blade head from? was it something you have made yourself?

[Super_Hornet]

Sorry but I do not have any build pictures due to I returned the camera back to my GF.

I just borrowed the camera again and I will try to take some when I open it up for further tweaking.

The 4 bladed head are all home made by myself.

Excellent work I love the four blade tail rotor also. I am interested in the 4 blade head for a scale project I have on the go, have you used a centre hub for a 4 blade propellor unit, it looks like one but cant quite see.

What blades did you end up using? how does it fly

Sorry for all the questions it really does look superb in the air

[Super_Hornet]

No, it is completely scratch build rotor head. If u want, u can actually use bigger size heli multibladed tail hub instead and modify from there.

I'm using Align Pro 335mm blades for the main. The actual blades is longer than Align Pro 335mm. So, if I can find longer than 335mm, I will use it. Haven't really fly the heli due to tail authority having problem that is because I forgot to change the tail linkages to a longer one (I choose to use U.S. made heli standard whereby main rotor spin at Counterclockwise).

Oh... the tail rotor is from Mini-Titan blades. I choose it because it is more rectangular shape...more scale look. And it is longer a bit as well.

Hey, brand new to the RC Heli world(TREX 450 SE/Futaba 6EXH) and also to this type of correspondence. Noticed the tail number on your TREX Pavehawk and wanted to give you a little background on that particular bird as I was the last Assistant Dedicated Crew Chief to that Hawk and have many photos with great memories. It was assigned to Nellis AFB in Nevada and its final resting place is in the middle east after serving the men and women of the U.S. and its allies. A Blackhawk yes- a small distance from a Pavehawk in visual design but none the less impressive, you have done a great job and it looks good!!! Hope to see more photos!

Hi Pavehawkdog71

Thanks for the real life information about that heli (and you). Well, I temporary suspend the Pavehawk job for another scale heli....Hint is:
Normally work together with blackhawk, has 4 bladed tail and main blades, uses landing wheels as well and about the same size as Pavehawk.
