rotorwash Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Oliver, Awesome work on the model! What type of 3D printer was used to make it? Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Don't know about the printer brand but its about the size of a washer and dryer side to side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Shimmel Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hello... I'm glad to see such interest in this... I actually designed the real version for the 60... no joke... the Navy is the only one with this, it needs the stub wings and the BRU-65. Can I get an SLA copy of it? Who is coming out with the real thing, and when? I can offer some input on it if you like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Jeff. I wish I had found u at the beginning of this project. It was.kind of hard finding good photos of all sides.It's been designed and printed already .Putting the final touch on it before it gets released for public use. I own the rights to the CAD design. Do you have photos of the ammo box that goes in the help that feeds the gun. I want to include an ammo box with the gun. Please pm me so we can talk further.

We are trying to get the ammo box done but references to it are hard to come by. If you can help I can get this done up real soon. Thanks Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Shimmel Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don't have much for the ammo can. I didn't work on it. There is a feed belt that connects the can to the gun. It goes through a special panel they put in the helo so they can fly with the doors closed. If open, they don't use the extra panel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The feed chute would be nice but we definitely need the ammo can. No sense hanging the gun without it. If you can get us some photos to do the CAD for the ammo can I can certainly send you a copy of the gun system. Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Werner's Wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
