AndrewPerren Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hey Oliver - truly crazy stuff as usual. I've got a tool question for you, when you cut up your plastic card bits and pieces do you use anything special like a "chopper" ? Your cuts always seem so clean and straight and tidy.

Hi Andrew, How have you been? I do use a chopper on occasion. I use a metal ruler to cut all my plastic strips . Once the part is cut I sand it with scotchbrite pad to smooth it out. Once the piece is glued i sand it a second time to get rid of glue marks. I use a # 11 blade and scalpel. oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check Six Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm curious. Are you going to put serial plates with numbers on all of the hydraulic mechanisms ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I am pretty much done with the hydraulics, I still need to add the wires. Started working on the wall in front of the main rotor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Started on folding the main rotor blades. It's a rather involved process. I believe two sets of blades are needed to make this right. Here's how it looks so far. Edited August 22, 2015 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
