Vintage RC Helicopters - TSK Acrostar

TSK Acrostar

TSK Acrostar

Designed for F3C or 3D styles of flying. Frames were 3 mm thick to provide positive securing of all components and minimal flexing under hard manoeuvring.  All metal swashplate, CCPM (EMS) with push-pull linkages on all cyclic and collective controls ensured minimum wear and slop with maximum control sensitivity.  Belt driven tail rotor and a high bearing count made it a very high specification machine.

Used the same drive belt as the Mystar 60.

Bought as serviced and set up but the previous owner had damaged the piston when fitting the flywheel; when the engine was run and it was hovered for a while it lost power then died.  Engine liner was badly scored so nearly new Webra engine replacement fitted and laid up in long term storage.

Acrostar build manual  -  2008 version 2.1 plus additional build notes  -  Acrostar notes

NOTE The Quick 60 was derived from the Acrostar and so a number of parts are the same; not sure which ones as only have confirmed the main mast.
