BigD's Fire Cobra Project

[BigD]

Well, let me start off this new section with my current project. I have been involved in R/C Helis for over 2 years now, notice I state involved. I haven't flown since March 2003 so I no longer claim to fly, I mearly refer that I don't fly, I just buy them. I can't wait to actually make it back to a field again some day with a heli but it will be months from now before that ever happens. Anyways enough boring you with that crap, here is my project...




Here is what the Cobra looked like this last weekend:

Looks nice, and a diffrent subject for it too. (not the same old thing) Love the slightly unusual scalers.

Don't know how scale your going but one thing did jump out, it looks like the stub wings on yours aren't the same as the full scale.

God that thing looks WICKED! :shock:

WOW nice project! Thanks for sharing!!!

[BigD]

That is very true, the stub wings need to be cut down and actually moved slightly. The pilots left windows also was to be cut out and a custom bubble window made. The nose has to be fully remade and the hump over the exhaust needs to be cut off. By far not a small effort but one which I take a great amount of joy in completing. Even if I never actually finish one of these things I still love to tinker on them in my spare time. I also still love 3D but I can't tinker with a Fury for hundred of hours, they need to be flown :D

It will be the White/Blue/Green posted above, I am not a big fan of the military schemes.

Ya, they all linked off to a gallery which got hacked and taken down about a year ago. I have since sold the project so I never updated all the links, etc.
