Helicopter group build


Recommended Posts

I'm really excited about building my first helicopter.  I'll need help to keep things on track as I'm not to familiar with helicopters.  I've only got a few hours in them and learned things aren't what I'm used to.  Apparently, continuously calling the anti-torque pedals rudder pedals is frowned upon!

Yup. to reiterate: There's nothing PLANE about helicopters... lol.

 

But you can say rudders. but don't call it a joy-stick.  it's either a cyclic or a collective... 

 

Perhaps I'll tackle my OH-58D. with Werner's and Zacto's extras, and Fireball stickers... yes, I could do that...

 

I do have others too, but they may get very ambitious.

 

Cheers

H.

Yep, fraid so!!!

They're way different: 

Airplanes fly,  helicopters beat the air into submission!

I hope to join in a few months with a 1/72 Marine CH-46. I have visions of more modern Echo with the enlarged stub wings but I have the had the idea for years and it has not happened yet, so who knows.
