Howdy everyone.Vic,this is a much needed thread,thanx bro.I have been busy doing the family thing,and we're almost done now.I have done a little work on my scale OH-6A project,and it's based on the EXI-450 base model(el cheapo),as well as a OH-58a also on a EXI-450 chassis.First off,the exi 450 is a fandamntastic bargoon at 99 bux.For those of you that scored one cheaper......I hate you all,LMAO !!! On my Oh-6a,I started with the heliartist 500 delta fuse,unpainted.There is a good fuse for 90 bux.I bought the LightningHeli 4 blade rotorhead for it too.For both builds,I am using scanner rc 9314 metal gear/ball bearing servos on the swash,with with some Power HD 2216 hb digital servos for the tail.Both have the LT-2100 gyros.Although I'm pretty much working on the loh fuse,I am also building the airframe for the 58.I figure with all things being pretty much equal,I'll do my dial in on the 58 airframe,then use those settings on my 6 project,with most of the dail in done.I'm running a AKE IceCold 380 watt motor for the 6,and a 320 watt IceCold for the lighter 58 fuse.Again,both have a EMax 35a esc's,with Dimension Enginnering 1.5a/5v parkbec's.Back to the 6,I have filled in the panel lines that where on the doghouse,cause the 6 doesn't have them.Made the adf antenna,and mounted it under the chin bubble,added the silver tape antennas to the bubbles,and made the KY-28 (IFF) antenna for the bottom of the tailboom.I still have to fit a wire antenna from the rear of the doghouse to the aft section of the tailboom,then that will be done.I fabbed up the V-tail for it,as seen in the crummy pics I took.I will fly it first on the 58 airframe,then build a "finished" one for the 6.Thats about all for now.I hope to see your projects here too.
