This will be a third in a series of resin sealed balsa shell fuselages for 300 size micros. This time I chose the EC120 Colibri with Fenestron tail to change the pace a little on these builds. I am using a Blade CP airframe with an EDF50H for the tail and an HDX outrunner for the main. AUW of this fuselage should be around 1.5 ounces when completed. :twisted:

Here is the Colibri with its' royal blue pearl lacquer. Windows, trim (vinyl graphics), skid fairings, etc is all that is needed to finish up. Should be flying in a few days. I want to change the color of the fan impeller but haven't quite figured out just how to do that yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated? :?

Pickup a copy of Model Airplane Magazine and inside there is a article of Rebuild's AStar. Very sweet looking machine. No one would think it was made of balsa by the quality of work Rebuild has put into it. I think the EC120 is worth more than a cover shot in the upcoming issue! :mrgreen:

Kinda like getting to play ball with a pro. Or get in the ring with Ali. Great work.

What nice remarks you guys! Just happy ya like it! Well here she is (again :roll: ) with the trim, finally! The head is compliments of Buzzkill and I got a super deal on a used BCP from a poster (AKA} soulreaper. Thanks to super friends like this, the mechanical side of this build was in the bag. Very much appreciated you guys!! I am still fine tuning the tx program for this and there remains a few piddly things to take care of before I give it a good fly but the hover is nice and I kept it to around 400 grams so it should be a pretty nice little flying machine. :D

All I can say is " HOT " like Jalapeno's. Don't forget to make a video of your 120, so we can drool even more! :D
