Hi Greg.
It was great, up into the hover no problem,broke a bit putting it into the car though.one of the weapon pods,still, glue it back on.
Run 3 tanks through it in-between flying my Futura SE.

I did forget to take the correct blades for it so I had to use the one,s off my SE,Witch were fully symmetrical and not semi that give more lift (TG s)cant Waite for next weekend to do more trials and then down to the painting<rub down spray<rub down spray,ime not very good at painting.
Anyway all for now,keep you updated.Thanks.
Roy.
Ps The base loaded Aeriel is not stopping where it is now.

That's excellent Roy, you've done an excellent scratch-building job of that heli. I'm glad it flies well too.

Cheers

Default Nice bird

Hi Roy,

Nice machine you got there! I've been looking for a big scale apache for some time now.
Since your fuse looks over .60 size can you help me along?
I know of a few companies that have an apache in their product-line, like Anbro in the UK and two companies in Germany.
Can you tell me the length of the fuse and the inner width (determines the mech / engine)?
Where did you get the fuse or did you mold it yourself.
What mech and engine have you build in.
Is multiblade (both main and heck) an opion.
Do you have room left for a scale cockpit.

So far questioning.

Like to see some pictures of the paint job and the bee in action.

Keep it up

René
