Rotorman

any update on this build?

Started on tail folding mechanism . I doubt the frame will support the tail, rotor and stabilizer.. I need to install a brass rod for support. Had to make a jig to get the right angle and gluing purpose.

Thanks

The fuselage is finally coming together and I have started gluing the 2 halves. There is so much torque that I needed to start with the tail first then move forward to the front once its totally glued . I had to wrestle with the kit in order to make it fit. the cabin roof PE part folded on itself while i was dry fitting the fuselage and the transmission needed extra surgery to make it fit. I need to add 3 rods on the linkage unit since we can see its not attached to anything. The kit is pretty heavy with all the extra weight, i will drill a metal rods in each wheel strut to support everything. For the first time in 5 years I feel that i am getting close to the end. oliver

This is one of favorite helo. One helo to be proud of. Please post more of your work. I will be watching.

Modeling News has a review of the kit with few photos of the interior. Very few photos available on the interior so far. Oliver
