Guillows F6F Hellcat RC Conversion Step by Step

Guillows F6F Hellcat RC Conversion Step by Step

This video offers a complete discussion of a Guillows F6F Hellcat RC conversion step by step. I'll start with a short history of the Hellcat. Then, a kit unbox of the Guillows F6F Hellcat with various step by step build options.

While the Hellcat is a bit advanced and not for the Guillows RC conversion for newbies, insights gained with this build of Guillows model airplanes will be applicable for a wide range of Guillow free flight airplane conversions.

The video goes on to show wing construction, the addition of ailerons, making the fuselage and battery hatch, control set up and ParkLite iron on covering.

The Hellcat flies extremely well. It is a fast model, as to be expected. But the model is predictable and looks great in the air.

Hellcat specifics:

E-flite Park 370 motor
Spektrum AR620 receiver
Castle Talon 15 ESC
Hitec HS-55 servos (3)
ThunderPower 2 cell TP 325 lipo
Total weight: 12 ounces
