Default HeliArtist 109 build

OK guys...If you've been interested in the HeliArtist A-109, I'm in the process of building a photo index and I plan on giving a review on this particular product. I will be posting here shortly. If you've seen Kip Newby's review, it's about like the directions included with the kit....a little short on info and photos. Mine was the white kit because I like the option of applying my own scheme and colors. Keep in mind, I'm not here to praise it or butcher it as a personal agenda. I will give my perspective of what I feel is good or bad about it, and hopefully help anyone who is considering building one. I am a heli hobbiest...not a paid representitive.

Background: I retired from the US Navy as an aircraft structural repairman first class (AMS1/E-6). I know a little something about fiberglass, helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft.
I've been to aircraft maintenance school as well as fiberglass and paint schools in the military, many hours working on E2-B's, P-3 Orions, CH-53, SH2's, and assorted many others as well as assigned to aircraft intermediate maintenace department as a airframes shop supervisor.

OK.....I'll get the ball rolling in a few days...stay tuned.
