Hi arrownaughtic
Thans for the nice commeents and praise.
No dont have CAD I struggle to find my way around a computer let alone a CAD program.
I built it from photos measurments and specs found on various web sites drew my own sketch plans
and did the rest by eye.

Hi AandP
Thats a great looking machine you have there is it a kit or scratch built.How long did it take you to build.
looks like an OF head what are you using for power.
What tail drive system are you using.
Post some pics of the build.

It is the OF CH-53 from Starwood. All the stuff to make it an MH-53 Pavelow was scratch built. It had a Benzin trainer with a 29cc engine in it but proved to be too little power. I am converting it to turbine right now. The head, blades and tail drive are all OF. I've been working on it almost a year now.

OMG! I just love those scale models
The EH101 looks ace and those Apache's are awesome.
Just need one with a rader dome on top and make it a Longbow
Its a childish dream of mine to make a model MD-500 Defender with a working tow missile pod built around those stage motors you can buy in toy shops for rockets.

The fuselage is a FunKey 50 size and the mechanics are Stinger 50 from Gohbee. Actually, the lines weren't all that hard to do. I used a carpenter's laser level to lay them out. It made the job much simpler than trying to do them freehand.
Your 222 is looking very nice also. Nice color selection.

RE: Heli pic's
Here's some of mine. They're all Graupner kits. Unfortunately, I had to sell the Agusta to buy the Squirrel. There are more pics and a short video of the Squirrel's first proper flight on my club's webpage, http://www.bpmfc.org.uk/images/heli_images/index.htm
The paint scheme on the Squirrel is not correct and it's going to be repainted in SAP colours. The Agusta is an A190E power and painted in the Swiss rescue service, REGA and the Jet ranger was repainted in the colours of a CH-139 from No.3 Sqn RCAF.

Don, your LA CITY FIRE helo "Fire 2" is absolutely stunning. Now you need to fab a belly tank for it to take it over the top. Kudos my friend.
The Mesa PD 500 is equally stunning. Nice shots of papa and baby...
