UH-1 project started

Video updates...


Had to put down flymentor due to mechanical problem (flybar seasaw thread worn out due to overtight-my bad). So had tu put aside first. So I start uh-1 project. Just finished assembly with the elevated tail system. Straight forward..will test out tomorrow. Blue cnc head and tail repainted with silver color to make the UH-1 appear more scale. Tested this morning and it's good to go.




First step to mount the heli frame to the fuselage is to create a mount plate. This is piece of plywood so that I can mount my 450v2 frame on it with screws. Mark and drill the place where the mount plate meet the landing skid block.


Next remove part of the elevated tail section so that the boom can easily slide into the fuse. Slide in the fuse and adjust the body to the mount plate. Mark the landing skid mount to the mount plate. Screw in the plate to the landing skid mount and slide in back. Check for any binding and also check for the tail servo case hitting the fuse boom. I have to remove some of the front servo mount frame to fit fuse.

Assemble the rest of the part for the tail and horizontal stabilizer. It's good to go.


aint she's a beuty.
