Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / December 2004Gone quiet?
I haven't seen a new post in this group for the last 24 hours! Is it me, BT Openwoe News Servers, or is everyone just busy?  SignatureAlan alandotrait@btopenworlddot.com Remove the dots to reply http://heliweb.users.btopenworld.com/ Yup, Busy preparing my Twin Squirrel Gasser (G-CAMB Miniature) for some serious flight over the festive period. The real police helicopter will undoubtedly be busy, so why shouldn't the model version follow! Futura SE / OS61SXH-WC is also ready for a serious blast around the sky. In the mean time, my Hirobo Gazelle project is back in my possession, and back on the 'in progress' bench. Just saving up for a vario fenestron kit for my skyfox, and then I'll be fibreglassing a new tail fin.Maybe Christmas will bring me some good luck :-)) . I have been offered a fuselage from a Kavan Jet Ranger too. Nice fuz, might be tempted to put a rappy in it or something. All busy this end. I hope everyone else is busy with models, I find it concerning how most of the models for sale on the BMFA site are helis. All members of my local group have taken a break from flying, be it for work, house-move, new baby, or whatever, but it'll take a lot to stop me!! I've got my transmitter mit ready for the cold snaps too. Cheers, and happy flying. Oh yeah, merry Christmas too. I can't believe it's tomorrow!! Joe.

Hey Joe (We know a song about that don't we?) Sounds like you're having fun! Do you still have any Kalt Baron bits and pieces? I have one at home which looks a tad sad and could do with a rebuild before it goes on EBay!

Is it me, >>BT Openwoe News Servers, or is everyone just busy? Hi again all, and thanks for the replies. I have a few Baron bits kicking around, but not a huge amount. I still have a few BRAND NEW main gears for the older barons (no bevel gear on top) which I had made for me. I kept about 10 for myself, although I'm still flying on the original one which I fitted in 2002. I sold quite a few, but still have some left. Quality Delrin parts. Some even need the centre turning out. They're still in gear-cut blank form! Anyway, I have a few other bits, one-way clutches, linkages, head bits e.t.c. Can also make mainshafts at work (and once again, my squirrel is still running on the first one I had made). As for filming the heli in flight, I can easily take some short films, but I have no website to post them on. Well actually, I have some webspace provided by NTL (my ISP), but I haven't got a clue how to use it. I really must get it started, as it'd be useful for all my hobbies (helis, ham radio, photography, electronics, engineering). Can't be that difficult. As for pictures, we had quite a wind-up with our local air support unit. I know a couple of people there, as I visited them before building the model. I sent them a picture of the model flying low over my dad's farmhouse, and asked them if they should really fly that close!! They wound up one of their pilots a treat apparently!! I still need to add some more windows and other details, but it's so damn heavy I might leave it alone soon, and just have it as a flying model. My gazelle project is due to be my real baby. I'm using Vario skyfox mechanics squeezed into an already quite small Hirobo gazelle fuselage, so hopefully it won't weigh a ton, and I can add a nice interior. Paint scheme will be decided after I have got it flying just fine. I won't even think about detail until then! Cheers for now, and have fun. Anyone is welcome to join me to fly at my dad's farm near peterborough. Just give us a shout. Get's kinda lonely on my own..... I have my dad to help me for safety reasons, and I'm hoping he'll soon want to have a go with my Futura. There just aren't that many people flying around here it seems. Cheers for now. Joe.
