Hey guys, help with my first scale build?

[Zeeflyboy]

I say build, but that's being generous! More rtf really!

I just got my hands on an Align AH-1 for a good price due to some almost invisible scratches (big up to raj from align-trex.co.uk! Top chap) but I'm not satisfied just building it as is. I have a few extra details planned, plus maybe a new paint scheme, but that's for another day.

The first thing is, if I don't have pilots how can it fly? I ain't afraid of no ghosts, but I'd rather be able to see my pilots....

I am however struggling to find anything that doesn't look like crap in a suitable size. Can anyone here point me in the right direction? Ideally I'd want something a bit better than the plastic painted things but equally I don't want anything ridiculously heavy.... I have no experience in this though so hoping someone can help!

I'm sure there'll be a lot more questions before is build is done, but that's all for now thanks!

Have you tried Pete's Pilots ??

Nope, but just had a look and there doesn't really appear to be what I'm after... Thanks though!

I'm thinking something like this but smaller... RC SCALE FAST JET FIGHTER PILOT,GAS TURBINE 1/7 1:7 1/8 1:8, DETAILED FIGURE,EDF | eBay

Perhaps such things don't exist!

how big is the fuz that your doing? vario do some pilots also you could get some action men

I imagine vario stuff will be too big - it doesn't say a scale but it's 500 sized. This is the kit here AH-1 500 Scale Fuselage HF5007 - Fuselage - ALIGN-TREX.co.uk
