Default Creating a Custom Trex 600E

I am in the process of creating a custom framed Trex 600E. It started life as a Nitro, but I have converted the mechanics over to a custom made frame.
I saw the frame set on the internet but I could not locate a vendor that sells it. It seems the 600 as a 12s heli is not really popular, seeing as the 700 has loads of custom mods.
Anyway, Here are some VERY rough pics of my progress. Yes, the frames are plywood. This is the mockup.
All files are done in CAD and I am in need of someone that is able to cut the frames and other related pieces for the design. I am interested in using Black G10 material.
Hopefully, some of you that have a CAD/CAM router would be willing to help me out. Of course, I would pay for the materials and your time.
I'm saving for my own router right now, I just don't have one as of yet.
Thank You.

Looking good. I play around making side frames but only for 450 and 500. Largest my sherline mill can go.

Keep posting pic's

Take a look at: yardbirdhelicopters.com

Your design would benefit if the batteries were much higher in the airframe - nice work though

Its already designed with a slide in battery tray up nice and high. I just had not designed it when I took these pictures. It slides in like the 600E Pro. Ill take a look at the sight. Thanks for the feedback. Worst part is deciding when It's "finished". Always feel like something is missing.

I've had parts cut by myrcbuild.com a few times. He uses good materials, the finished parts are pretty nice and he doesn't charge a fortune.
