Default RE: Scale Bodies for SR

I put the huey body on my cp pro and loved it until it was caught by a stray gust of wind and the rotors destroyed the tailboom I was heart broken. I actually served as a crew chief on that same model of Huey when I was in the Iowa Army National Guard (before I joined the Marines active duty and was made a truck driver LOL) FYI It is a UH1 M (Mike model) Huey gunship (the predecessor to the cobra) most hueys you see in the war movies are Hmodels 2 window side door, or B model 1 window side door just like the Mike, The Mike had an upgraded engine and200 moreshaft hp than the B or C mods. The mike was identified by the M5 weapons subsystem consisting of two 1.75 inch rocket pods and 2m134 miniguns 7.62 caliber capable of firing 6000 rounds per min, (but due to malfunctions at that high rate offire they were usually dialed down tohalf speed (still soundedlike canvas ripping amplified 1000 times)the chopper would b e capable of holding 6000 rounds meaning approx 60 seconds firing time. The earlier models had rocket pods and 2 chain guns per side (basically 2 m60 machine guns. So if you fly one of those kits be proud She was the Cobra before there was a cobra and many a grunt has thanked the arrival on one of these machines overhead.
