Loach Driver Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It took me years to finish my entry in the last Heli Group Build but I finished it in the end. With a track-record like that, I will enter this one again. Hopefully the resulting model will be finished a little quicker! LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) 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.

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I might be convinced to join this group build if I could find it. I'll hope to build an AH-6J from Kitty Hawk by the time this build starts. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Kick it into line Tank! You can do it! I have a CH-46E in 48th scale that is begging to get the HMX-1 treatment... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
