Vintage RC Helicopters - MS Composit Helicopters
Hornet A small fixed pitch electric helicopter introduced in 2001. Very much like the 'Piccolo' but had a direct tail drive instead of a separate small electric motor. The benefit of this being a fixed speed relationship between the main and tail blades so that tail control was by the 'normal' means of pushrod and moving tail blade holders. Not as simple as the separate motor method but a better form of tail control. Dave Day has an excellent range of articles covering the Hornet here - Dave Days Hornet pages CH-46 Sea Knight Electric version incorporating two CP Hornet head assemblies gear driven by a brushless motor. Like the Hirobo version (though using non scale flybar heads) the blade discs overlapped and so the gear drive was needed to keep both heads in synchronisation.
