Default RE: Scale pilots

Hi there,

We do a 1/6th RAF pilot for the correct era, but it is 12" in height. As I convert these to leightweight , and tailor make them, so I can shorten the arms and legs a little to fit, if you can give me dimensions.

These pilots are based on the elite/dragon/21st century pilots, but by the time we have finished with them, their weight comes down from 14 ozs to 3.5 ozs, with either floppy body, or wire bendy covered in foam so you can bend them into a pose, and they won't flop about.

We also fit servos to either turn the head with the aileron channel, so when you do final checks before taxying, the pilot looks out to check the wings! We now do another version that raises the head via the elevator channel as well as turning, then a brand new version that also raises his right hand - ideal for the jet jocky's.

We can also supply parachutes and irvin type leather jackets. Have a look at our web site www.scaleaircrewsupplies.co.uk (link via RCU), and email from there, and I'll send you detailed data sheets.

cheers

Mark
