Only if he's eating the same breakfast cereal as you.......Hahaha

[MSea]

No finished by tea time, he is on double weetabix

[chriswil42]

I don't think so.

I see there's a tail skid to help stop tail sitting so that's a bonus. I don't remember seeing this helicopter before so looking forward to the build.

[chriswil42]

Main rotor assembled - each blade is pinned with 0.4mm wire into the hub.
Cockpit painted. Now onto the cockpit vacform glazing; this could take a while.

[Bigkev]

Nice delicate work on the rotor blades and their pinning.
Coming along nicely.

[chriswil42]

Some small progress trying to assemble the glazing. Very fiddly with three vacformed parts getting to fit together and attach to the fuselage.

I know the feeling, but you'll get there in the end.

Looks tricky work.
