Hummingbird V2 manual - 2003 ARF assembly instructions. Hummingbird Scale body - 2003 supplement for fitting the scale bodies Bell 222, Airwolf, JetRanger and Bolkow BK117 My Century Hummingbird (Airwolf)
Bought Aug 06 and originally had the Bell 222 fuselage. Although fixed pitch was quite flyable however, once the battery voltage started to drop it would not turn right if the nose was raised. By mid 08 the body had become very poor so fitted an Airwolf body (didn't bother with the fins). Requires a bit of getting back into 'fixed pitch' mentality if not flown for a while and will be kept for a bit of inside fun flying every so often. Century Hummingbird V3 Minor upgrading again notably the main rotor head. Hummingbird V3 build manual - 2004 ARF assembly instructions. Century Hummingbird Elite FP/CP Fixed pitch version basically a V3 however CP version though looking similar is fundamentally different. Hummingbird Elite build manual - 2004 ARF assembly instructions covering both FP and CP versions. Century Hummingbird Elite 3D Pro Though called a Hummingbird, apart from looks is a totally different helicopter and much larger. Fully capable of all the 3D manoeuvres. Hummingbird Elite 3D Pro build manual - 2005 Manual for kit version. Hummingbird 3D Pro manual - 2005 ARF assembly Instructions.
