Wow, this is very cinematic. Very well done! -

Wow, what a wealth of information on this subject! Wish I had found this earlier when I started my project. I'm making a 1/6 scale diorama on the subject, featuring an animated Task Force Ranger hero figure. All of you with sharp eyes will notice the Huey imposter faking as a crashed UH60. I will be adding damage details later so it won't be recognizable:) I also started a build thread here: Pat Leong -
Hi all, here's my current work in progress- a 1/6 diorama featuring an animated soldier, kind of a whimsical take on the Battle of Mogadishu. Hope you enjoy it! Pat Leong

It's been awhile since I updated this. Here's my latest Cobra story- emergency extraction of a stranded soldier using the ammo bay door. While lifting off, crew encounters heavy ground fire. A fire fight ensues. FYI, I have yet to fly it in this configuration. I need to procure longer main blades for better lift.FYI, I have yet to fly it in this configuration.

Zach, Did you fly that Cobra in your signature? I notice it has the airborne laser tracking glass dome. I spent days figuring out how to make the glass dome until I came across plastic Christmas ornaments in the exact diameter! This may not be the best RC Cobra out there but I dare say it is the only one with the laser tracker. Everyone else just paint it body color.

Floyd, very good question regarding the CG. In fact, my need to build a highly detailed cockpit and animations scuttled the original plan to locate the heavy lipo flight batteries in the ammo bay. It will be way too nose-heavy. I have since relocated it closer to the main shaft (see pic), it is now perfectly balanced with a 5 degree backward tilt while hovering. It is a kit you can buy at https://www.starwoodscalemodels.com/estore/products.php?8 , but very basic fiberglass components with no details at all, the builder has to figure out how to fit his mechanics inside and detail the rest.

Gino, The fuselage itself is about 7'2" long. It is about 8' if you count the bade length.

This is slightly larger than what gets normally posted here, it is a scale helicopter nonetheless. It is also RC and features simulated sound, animated gun and cockpit.
