.30 Size Airwolf

[danch]

Well I finally got hold of my childhood dream, spotted it on eBay & it didn't sell, so made an offer after the auction ended of £250 & guy said ok.

Details :

30 SIZE SCALE AIRWOLF WITH HIROBO SHUTTLE MECHANICS.
FUTABA SERVOS
RETRACTS
GYRO
REMOTE FUEL FILLER & GLOW CONNECTION
OS MAX 32 ENGINE WITH MODIFIED EXHAUST TO EXIT WHERE THE ADITIONAL THRUSTERS WOULD BE
.

PARTS REQUIRED TO FINISH :
RX, BATTERY, SIDE GUN PODS
WOULD ALSO REQUIRE SOME PAINT & TLC

I Am going to see if I can source any spare parts from Century as the rear boom wings & tail fin could do with being replaced.

Going to be getting her all finished off over winter & ready to fly next year after practising with my Raptor.

Anyway on to the pics:

Looks good, I can see a good project starting here. Any chance of a build thread on here?

[danch]

Have got all the bits for mine now too - couple of nice "ladies" being built up
Just need some spare time to get on with the build. Have the rear retracts sorted - due to the position of the fuel tank on the Rappy I've ditched the cross-fuse link arm and copied the linkage in reverse for the starboard retract. Am working on the front retract at the moment and have started assembling the body parts. Adding detail touches to mine such as strobes, nav lights etc. Not going balls-out scale detail but just some toys to impress my kids LOL

Great going, sounds like it's going to be a nice little project

Will be completing this over winter & getting it ready to
fly next year whilst I practice with the Raptor & my newly acquired CopterX 450 :-)

Will start posting pics once I commence the restoration.

I have a Bell222 century and i'm ditching the retract system and going air retracts one side isn't playing ball and I want to know it all works right... and air retracts will give me faith that the back right won't drop and just sit on the floor as it does now!

[danch]

Disc,
Which air retracts are you going with?

Cheers

danch:

[Tripler]

Sorry just looked again "DOH"
Yours is on a 30 size and mines on a 500

and good luck with the build.

Cheers, unfortunately it has now been sold as I didn't have the time to do a full rebuild that I would have wanted to do.
