Sweet talked into building the above for a good mate, he sure can fly, but he is C**P at building, his words, not mine he he, SO, kit ordered, mechanics, Zenoah 26, head, mainshaft now in stock, fuselage will be 3 weeks, so all in hand, this is the colour scheme he wants me to paint for him.

Odieser, thanks , parts arived today everything but the bodywork, so the build can start

hrbeta · 11-11-2009, 07:14 AM

Hey sats, how is your build going? I'm starting one myself now

satsuma · 11-11-2009, 11:02 AM

hrbeta, hi, the mechanics are built as far as they can be, as no Futaba 9206 servo's innthe UK at the moment, may start doing some on the fuz, are you building the older version, or the new one with the VR22 mechanics, which keeps the cockpit free from engine ?
Enjoy your build, and a photo would be good when you can

Brilliant Scraggy, he he spot on, thats the colour my build will be

Skiddz · 11-14-2009, 03:43 PM

Hmm.. that doesn't sound anything like a Lycoming IO360-J2A

satsuma · 11-28-2009, 02:46 PM

Update piccs, mechanics almost finished, silencer is awesome, should be fairly quiet running i would think.

Skiddz · 12-02-2009, 01:38 PM

You got any more done on this project?? How about the A-Star?

satsuma · 12-02-2009, 04:15 PM

Built the head today, need to start on the fuselage mounting points next, as for my A Star, it's done bar the fuel tank and plumbing, the reason my A Star isn't done is this Robinson my mate was pushing me to build, he he, buddies

Skiddz · 12-03-2009, 12:49 AM

I don't need friends like that..

I've got enough projects of my own to deal with.

satsuma · 12-03-2009, 04:51 AM

He he, you and me both

satsuma · 12-05-2009, 03:32 PM

Woahh, he he, just fitted the mechanics to the skids, this is big, it sits on the floor and is HALF my height,34" tall to top of rotor head, should be fun

Skiddz · 12-05-2009, 06:17 PM

Pictures!!!!

satsuma · 12-06-2009, 11:11 AM

Pictured next to my Cobra, these mechanics are 33.5" tall, and i am 5ft 7", so exactly half my height.
