Vintage RC Helicopters - Joe's Collection - EF Joe's Collection - EF Joe William Richardson EF Shogun (2006)
Bought whilst I was still at the 'figure of eight' stage to 'complement' my Zoom i.e. if one was damaged because of an Oops, the other would be used and Visa-Versa; in the end it turned out to be the first helicopter that I actually completed proper 'planned' circuits with. I had experienced an occasional fly-away with the Zoom which would result in much panic and over controlling until a reasonable hover could be achieved, followed by a semi-controlled landing. The Shogun though had a little bit more stability (i.e. heavier) and as I had achieved figure of eights then circuits seemed the obvious next step; only problem was speed control as it was easy to speed up but much harder to slow it down again. During 2008/2009 it was a general flyer mainly indoors when I was on the ship however in Jun 09 I managed to 'loose it' near a bulkhead resulting in an unplanned arrival in a rubbish skip. on checking it was found that the ESC was defective and the head had a wobble so put into storage pending future repair.
