Hirobo has modified the 50 size Chinook with a new main frame design, larger tank, additional body style and updated heads and swashplates. Controls are now electronically mixed via Hirobo designed control system included with the kit. A 3 axis gyro is also included as well as a Hatori tuned pipe and a header. No more complicated mechanical control system. The starting system is changed to the shaft type like that of the Sceadu and Freya series. The Chinook requires seven servos (3 for each rotor head and 1 for throttle).
The Boeing Chinook is a tandem rotor helicopter operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF). A series of variants based on the United States Army's Boeing CH-47 Chinook, the RAF Chinook fleet is the largest outside the United States. RAF Chinooks have seen extensive service including fighting in the Falklands War, peace-keeping commitments in the Balkans, and action in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
