Just say hello and Blade 400 Project

[maxx2504]

Hi all !

I just only wanna say hello to all pilots who use the Realflight G3/3.5 or 4. Maybe some ppl know my helis and colorschemes i made for this sim and enjoy them. My english is not the best so i dont register myself on healifreak until today, sry for that =)
I will build more helicopters for realflight in the future but with more help from the community to get the best result.
So my first project will be the Blade 400 3D. Much people want this heli for realflight, but its hard to get all details of it. Plz post all photos u can get especially from ur own blade 400. But thats not all...i need all technical details about it, thats the bigger problem. So plz help ! Thank you.

Greetings from Germany

Hi Maxx,

Thanks firstly for all your great work on Knife Edge.

I don't have a Blade 400 (yet), but took the attached photos at our local hobby shop with the intention of creating a B400 colour scheme for the Trex450. Haven't got around to doing it. I hope these help you to get started.

Look forward to seeing the Blade 400 heli on RF soon.

Best regards from down under Australia

Hi !

Thanks first for the photos. But there is one little problem. Do you see the lights on the canopy ? And the last photo is out of focus. Sry but this is a no-go for a good texture :(

Sorry I couldn't help maXx. I hope others supply you with all the information you need. Can't wait to see and fly it on RF. Regards,

Maxx2504,
I had lunch with a friend today who is a photographer. He said he would take the photos that you need to complete the Blade 400 model. If you tell me exactly what you need, i'll get you the pictures. Please keep in mind that I don't create models, I don't know how to create models and I don't know how you do the texture mapping. So, if you tell me what you need, and spell it out, I will get them for you. Tell me what views you need, how far the camera should be from the model, and any other requirements that you have, and I will get it done for you.
Thanks,

Hi !

Its a little bit hard for me to explain that in english but i will try. So i need pictures like them from heli-novice 3 posts above. But you can see the light shimmering (the white patches) on the canopy. Thats the only reason i cant use the photos. When ur friend can take photos of the canopy without the lights on it, that would be better. I hope you know what i mean sry for my english.

When u fly a Blade 400 i need the technical details too. I can make a list for you when u want ? Or open any heli-model with the realflight aircraft editor and u see what details i need.


Greetings maXx

Wenn es leichter ist in Deutsch kannst du es in Deutsch schreiben. :)

But, your english is much better than my German so it will be easier for me to read English. If you have something that you need to describe and just can't do it in english, then feel free to do it in German.

I will try to get the pictures for you this weekend. I have some green on my tail fins from grass so I will go buy some new ones today. I don't fly with my canopy on so it is in excellent shape.

I don't know how to give you the technical details, but I am willing to learn. Hopefully you and some of the other readers can help me come up to speed. I'll run the editor tonight when I get home. Can you or anyone else point me to a good tutorial on the web?
Thanks.


Edit: Do you just need pictures of the canopy and fins? I can remove those and get pictures of just those. Or do you want the skids and tail boom and body also?

[maxx2504]

Hi !

It would be nice when i could get pictures also of the whole helicopter includin the rotorhead, the tail, the canopy, the fins, the mechanic from the side, the batterie, the servos. I think all parts who are important.

Greetings maXx

Ok. I had a little crash today so I hope to pick up the parts in the morning. :)

[KernelSanders]

Ok, I have everything now. I had to wait on those stupid stickers for the tail fin and stabilizer. :(
I hope to have the pics done this weekend.
