That looks enormous... Surely it can't be 1/6?

And what is Jack Bauer doing with a model heli?

Dread to think about the crash costs tho ...

[miniman]

Is there any shop or individual in the UK that will completely build a scale heli to order?

I am interested in a vario EC135 in either turbine or electric but dont have the time to put into building it.

Any ideas anyone?

I dont know if any one has already mentioned him, but Coolice on here builds and sets up helis, and has experience of turbine power. Give him a call he is a first class guy who knows most helis.

Yeah its 1/6th they are bloody massive!! The 1/4 scale you need a lwb van to get it in!

And thats Jeff Dunham, of Achmed the Terrorist fame

SILENCE!! I kill you!

Easy answer Tom, don't crash and don't fly on spektrum.

Oh yeah!! If you fly something like this on a DX8 your literally playing with knives!!

Not had a problem in 6 years nearly on spekky. Maybe I am just lucky or there is a bigger ratio of units out there. Hmmm

my 1/3 scale r22 and my 1/4 scale bell 47
and that big ec135 is 1/4 scale not 1/6 scale

Really looks way too big to be 1/6 Kev, think it must be 1/4?

[KevDavies]

Well I did initially think that, but his words were "here is my new RC heli project a 1/6th scale Vario"

Well the real EC-135 is 10.2m long (fuselage) so at 1/6 scale would be 1.7m from nose to tail.... Or roughly the height of a typical person ish

At 1/4 scale it would be 2.55m nose to tail, which looks more like that picture... Unless of course he's a hobbit.

I would say its a typo or he is mistaken... That's way bigger than 1/6.

[KevDavies]

Your probably right mate, either way its a big bast***!

You any closer to a decision Pete?? I think the whole forum is on tenter hooks waiting to see what yer gonna do! LOL

[electricsceadu]

the vario nitro, gasser, ec135 is 1/6 scale
this includes the smaller turbine which uses the nitro/gasser body shell

that big one is defo a 1/4 scale
it is a typo from somewhere saying it's the 1/6 scale

Been chatting with Pete this afternoon and this is another option
