Status: offline 		Hi All,

I am very new to helicopter, i just bought a coaxial dauphin from e-sky, few weeks later Belt CP, 1 week later i bought the JR AIrskipper 50 ....
I finish to build it, break in the engine and this week end I am going to do a first hovering test.
I just love those little machine, but my pleasure will be complete when i will be able to put a nice scale body on it.
So i need a little help because i don't know which body from which manufacturer will fit my airskipper ... any advice?

By the way, i am a very impulsive buyer and i bought the airskipper because the model shop close to my house told me it was a very good model, but after having buying it and search over the internet i couldnt find a lot of info / review on this model, so now i wonder if the model shop didnt try to sell me stuff that don't usually sell ...
they have a lot of raptor things.... but they have a promo on the JR ....

Any comment or opinion are most welcome ...
Thanks
Fabien

Status: offline 		Hi!
I'm mostly a newby too,I have been in helis for 6 months. I know JR made fine helis and the airskipper is one of it,BUT! they just release the vibe 50 which is virtually all the magnificent of the vibe 90 into a 50!
I built my first scale last month and because I know that was my dream, I bougth a century helicopter because there is a bunch of scales made for century.I know they are cheap but they have many years of experience too. For Raptor! forget it! that is the most popular heli ever.You can find canopies,scales and parts just kicking it out from a tree!
But do not be worry because every scale even the ones made for one heli it self you have to improvise and actually make it fit to it!
So any scale 50 SHOULD fit with the proper mods!
The instructions are a shame, most of my info came from web pages,and google searches of how to built a scale.
I'm from PR and in my club I'm the only one with a scale! I have no one to ask about a scale problem with experience.
The good thing, everyone stops doing anything when my heli is up! The truth I'm amazed about how it looks on the air, it an experience, so if you want to built a scale, do it man it is great,lots of works and problems to solve but when is finished you just can stop of looking at it!

Now i am still hesitating between scale body "squirrel" (330$) red or blue and a Hugues 530 (250$) painted civilian ...
Really like them both and price is not too much a matter ....

Will wait another few days to make my decision ...

Cheers
