Thunnus Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just my periodic check in your out-of-this-world work! Makes me re-think just what is possible. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAD3 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcD Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-10LOADER Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

easixpedro Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 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. scvrobeson and Pete Fleischmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
