Kalt Whisper EP

Here is the first version (azure box) of Kalt Whisper EP helicopter from 1991. It has been one of the first ep helicopter in kit.

The helicoper can fly with a 9.6 nicd battery pack. The kit include a powerful mabuchi 540RX black motor.

I own also a flying Kalt whisper with brushless motor and fly realy very very well.

The kit is new and the instruction are still sealed. Great quality for that era.

Kalt Whisper Ep reloaded

Recently i updated my old Kalt Whisper EP. It still works with 4 servos of time but i fitted a micro gyro with heading hold mode, a 3.300kv 12T brushless motor with stock pinion, intested of his of brushed 17T mabuchi 540vs motor,  a Quark 35A ESC, and a 2.4ghz rx. I fitted also a new canopy with original decals.

With this new setup, with original pinion, the Whisper fly with a 2S lipo battery. The esc has not the governor mode,  it is a car's esc, so the idle up curve is classic 100 - 85 - 100.
It flies for about 9/10 minutes with 3000mha; the final temperature of esc is 54° and motor 48°. The esc can get a lot of fresh air from big front air intake.

Here is the previous post about my whisper

From the past: Kalt baron Whisper EP

I bought this kit in 1988. It was one of the first kit Ep available in the worldwide market. This Kalt whisper fly still very very well with his powerfull mabuchi 17T motor.

I have still a lot of spare parts of this hely. The kit has been re-released again in the second mid of 90' when Kalt was bought by Sanwa electronics.
