I will get some pictures posted tonight of the fuse. This will be a pretty slow paced project so bare with.

Heli8ight · 09-27-2009, 07:16 PM

I will get some pictures of the mechanics tomorrow evening

Heli8ight · 09-28-2009, 06:28 PM

These were quick pics, I didn't try for better lighting or adjusting the camera.

Looks like you have a lot of work in front of you!!

based on the pictures of the actual apache I have god knows how many rivets to apply to this thing!

wingtip · 09-30-2009, 07:19 PM

Congrats on your start of our kit!

when its finished and everyone is always drooling over it , you will see it was worth it. Everywhere we fly it we have to push our way through the crowds of people trying to take pictures lol....

I love the simple, yet rugged looking mechanics!

I should have some more picture this weekend I've sat on this thing for a while and finally stuck my foot up my $$$ to get moving.

1) I've done a search and sent some inquiries on rivet kits (IndyHeli link)

2) I hope to have the Mechanics support structure in the fuse by the end of the weekend. Assuming I get through the steps prior to this one. - The instruction package is pretty darn good too!

3) I also am thinking about having the landing struts anodized to match the olive paint I plan to use but I'm not sure yet - I need to see how this is normally done paint etc.

By the way if you havent spoken to anyone @ IndyHeli but plan too I think you will find what I have. They are really down to earth and great to work with and this is their hobby project that they developed tested and have made available to everyone.

Due work I missed the IRCHA so I have yet to see a complete project in person!

If you want to see our bird you can click here http://runryder.com/?v=/helicopter/r...2009-05-11.mp4 and see me flying our detailed one ... we also had my old one that we flew as well but it wasnt as pretty since kerry wrecked it 3 days before ircha and we had 3 days of nonstop repairs lol.....

Heli8ight · 10-03-2009, 09:44 AM

Oh sure now i'm really bumbed i didn't make it to IRCHA..:-) Thats a great vid I'm going to post a 360 video of the bare fuse a little later today. I started a couple cuts and some sanding on the canopy.

In the upper left corner you will see my first scale heli - Century 50 scale bell 222 Nav lights and Retracts

WOW! Until I saw this picture, I didn't realize just how big this helicopter is gonna be. I am really looking forward to watching this build.

So I had planned to get more done on this but due to the really nice weather I was forced to test fly my gasser project. Okay maybe I wasn't forced

wingtip · 10-07-2009, 09:36 AM

we should be on the sks video from ircha as well when it gets released...

so what do you think of our kit so far? I think its the best kit Ive ever seen with all the templates for cutting holes and for slotting the tubes for the fins of the hellfires, cutting the holes for the landing gear etc etc... lots of photos to walk you through the process....

Heli8ight · 10-07-2009, 07:30 PM

I thinks it's great, I should be taking picture of the instructions and templates to post. I had planned to work on it today but I need a couple dremel bits that I will pickup tomorrow.

Heli8ight · 11-15-2009, 08:36 PM

I have just posted this for sale No time to work on it anymore. I have only made to two cuts per the manual. checkout the for sale forums.

Thanks
