I have decided to resurrect the original shuttle one more time. The frames were shattered, so I drew up some sides with servo holders in them. To make it more fun, it will be CCPM this time. I should start cutting out the sides tomorrow, out of .063 6061 T6 Al. Will convert the swash to 120deg with a 2.25" ring, like the Mercury. The OS .28 is running strong, but with the small engine, weight must be kept down.

Anyone have suggestions on making it better, other than "buy a new kit" that would ruin the challenge.

Also looking for canopy and clutch bell, and maybe some upgrade parts for the head and tail rotors. Maybe even a whole new head.

Here is a pic of one side.
