Cheers Guys,

Totto, I love the building side, enjoy it thoruoghly. In the end I had to stop myslef doing too mcuh really. Theres still odds and ends I will add as time goes on but for the most, its about there really. Its been kind of a labour of love really, on and off over the last two years, I promiuse the next one will be much quicker as I've learnt so much doing this one. A few areas stumped me for several months which held up the process, but in the end I persevered and found a way to achive what I was after.

I will be flying again this weekend and look forward to seeing the images. I might add a mixer as I'm using the flybarless head but I'll see how it feels. Maybe Sunday if the weather holds. saturday will be spent doing final checks etc and getting it all ready.

Part of the enjoymnet for me is buidling a decent model then actually seeing it in the air, can't wait.

Sponsorhsip, now theres a thing, I WISH !!!!!! I would love a turbine in there, I could then sit the mechanics right back and fill in the bulkhead, shame the benzin mechs just stick out too far really.

Matt, thanks very much, I hope so too, I like sharing ideas, and like you say hopefully it will spur people on and help them along the way as to how things are made (Most of it I make up as I go along.

Hi

Slowly getting it back together, couldn't fly this weekend, weather, and a splitting hangover got in the way I'm afraid.

Been finishing up wiring in the nav lights, little more to do on that, just in need of a bit of time now to get it out and fly.

A few shots now its coming together.

With all that detail, how will you know when it will be finished?
And when it's done...? I think I would even cry...

Is there a life outside the sim?

Lee,

Great work so far, but just one thing, the heli is too clean. Are you going to weather it ?

cheers,

Hi Willis

Thats because the one I'm scaling it after is clean, having just been restored :-)

It will get weathered later on in life.

Cheers

You know, it's a strange thing.. but as a newbie who thinks that scale is probably the way to go I'm not sure whether this type of project inspires or discourages me - on the basis that it's the sort of result we would all aspire to but have virtually no chance of achieving.

Excellent work, and info well maintained over a long period.

Thank you for sharing !

Could you tell me how you tinted the overhead glazing?
Doing a 30 size Schwiezer and I need to tint the top of the
canopy.
Thanks, P901

Hi Andrew,

Cheers for all the compliments

Luckily they were already tinted, but I know this was sprayed on using a polycarbonate spray, RC Car shop may have some.

Just an update, I'm currently setting up the flybarless head, not as easy as others, so have a plan in hand which I'll work on this week.

In the meantime some ground shots to look at.













And one for fun from back in the day..........



Cheers
