Hirobo Eagle III AOCC

Just bought my 3rd Hirobo Eagle 3 in AOCC version. This is really the last true F3C samurai machine from Hirobo.

It is brand new and comes with the same Hashimoto's gear ratio upgrade with 108T on main gear and 101T on the second one.

The Heli comes with his original Hirobo blades. Nowadays these F3C expensive competition machines are becoming rare.

Hirobo SST-Eagle Upgrade kit

This is a very rare upgrade kit made by japanease company Capital for the Hirobo SST-Eagle  (87/91 models).

With this kit the Eagle can be converted with new light alu frames, new main shaft, gold anodized parts and new control lines on cyclic washplate, The frames are very similar to Kalt Omega Pro Grand Prix.

Only few internal parts of mechanic, so tank, gears, are stock parts from SST-Eagle.

Hirobo Vertol restoring

Some time ago i bought this Hirobo Vertol in bad conditions. Now i began to restore it. I will convert it in EP with the right motor and support. My goal is use 6S lipo with stock CH-46 gear ratio. With the current setup i can use the stock clutch and bell.

I fitted two old Futaba G301 piezo gyros.

Here the link with the pics when the Vertol landed here.
