Hawkwrench 1,697 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Looking forward to all of these upcoming helo builds. I'm sad to see the pavehawk build winding down, but happy there's 2 more helos waiting!!! Tim Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Thunnus 12,437 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Just my periodic check in your out-of-this-world work! Makes me re-think just what is possible. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites
WAD3 18 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Jayhawk sounds like a winner. I’m hoping that Kitty hawk makes that. When I finally get done the Pavehawk that would be one I would love to do after an F-100 in 48 scale though. Andrew Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JMcD 224 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 This is an absolutely inspirational and phenomenal build. I've gone through all pages and I am simply out of superlatives. Hats off to your modeling skills, sir!!! Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A-10LOADER 1,059 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Pete, I know you've put a ton of work in the rotors but, did you ever consider doing something that would represent the rotors spinning ? Steve Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Thanks Steve- not for this one, no- but getting a helicopter model with spinning rotor and tail rotor would be cool. The trick I think would to be able to gear down both so they don’t spin at ludicrous speed- cheers P Derek B, MARU5137 and Harold 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The trick I think would to be able to gear down both so they don’t spin at ludicrous speed- cheers P I have successfully done just that. You need to add some resistors to a 3v cell phone vibration motor. For the tail is pretty much where it’s needed most. The main hub is large enough it will take a decent amount of time and power to get them spinning at a reasonable rate. Pete Fleischmann, KiwiZac and MARU5137 3 Link to post Share on other sites
easixpedro 1,656 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 That looks nice and stout. You should be able to get a nice pitch angle on there and not have it sag either, which is the bane of many a helo in-flight build (some of mine included)! Onwards and upwards.
