So new start , this is the heli i am going for this time ;

guyken · 02-09-2017, 12:41 PM

I was lucky to buy this second hand from a club member . T rex 600esp and Funkey fuselage 50size from a Bell 206.
The heli was flybarred but i am not used to fly this way so changed to fbl with mikado v bar system . Further more Hobbywing 100V3 esc , scorpion 4025-1100 motor , savox servo's . Good stuff .

Today i am going to begin with the cockpit , the instrument panel . I am bound to a very tight budget this time so i had to look around for affordable cockpit and found this .Also there is less choice for 30 size heli's .

This will be the final version of the Bell 206 , found some decals at this site : Becc Pennant Lettering and Number Sets from Maritime Model Boats So no more need of home printing and preparing decals .

heli143 · 03-15-2017, 11:38 PM

Nice project guyken, coming along very nicely!

This heli is close to my heart as that is what I flew in in the mid 70s. My tail number was 58-560.
Looking forward to seeing thus baby in the air!

guyken · 03-16-2017, 11:15 AM

Wow , thx Roy . We are getting closer almost every day now . Tail fin is mounted and cables ready for nav lights . Still to do : mechanics into fuselage and putting on the decals . That is for dessert

And a movie i suppose when maiden flight
