C-189 to CH-53K Conversion
I took the mechanics out of an RC-Era C-189, and forced them into a printed CH 53. The CH 53 was intended to be a desktop toy, so I had to scale it up and modify it the best I could in my slicer. Not a lot of editing options in a slicer.
Anyway it flies, but barely gets off the ground 😂. I printed the body as lightweight as possible, but the mechanics just don't have enough ass to lift this bad boy. I ordered some blades from a YX F-119S, to see if I can adapt them, and also a four blade tail from a Goosky E2.
I think it will fly better with those adjustments, until the motor cooks-off 😂. I will report when I get them adapted.
