Rainy day build

Post by DOG »

Hello there everyone. I received a fuselage
P3230085.JPG
from a friend. This will be a nice little project for those days I can't fly to due weather, parts or natural disaster "Crash" LOL. This will be part of the bird collection
P2210072.JPG
that we fly with. I'm probably going to have a 6s set up for the extra weight. I'm not to sure on the electronics but i have plenty of time to figure out what electronics I'm going with. I will be asking questions on this build and i will post pics as i put the heli together. Any suggestion would be helpful on this build. Thanks in advance.

That's cool, is the landing gear/wheels functional? Will you make them retractable?
Just as a side note I live and hour and a bit away from Inverness, Scotland.

Hey DamhDearg. Yes those wheels are retractable and functional. I also have lights for this bird and like to get miniature Coast Guard men operating this heli. After all said and done this heli will look fine after all the little details are installed. One hour away from Inverness, Scotland, that's not to far from Inverness Florida, LOL! :lol:
