Well hello all.I'm just making a general intro post here.I don't get a chance to rc much but i love it as a hobby.I have a electric heli i am still learning to fly,a OFNA off road nitro buggy w/ 4 wheel drive and a few other upgrades,as well as a explorer 40 "trainer" nitro plane.I am beyond...

It seems like we got a little off topic here but since this is my thread we can talk about what we want to LOL. I have really just got into learning rc copters what i do most in rc is planes,cars, and also i have tried my hand at boats.I have a ofna 4x4 off road buggy with a few upgrades.A...

thanks but the copter is really a not so cheap china made electric heli. it is called a sky king and it has several flaws that i have to address.

by the way as of now it is 3' 4" long

more pics sry for the double post but had more pics.

more progress finally well after a pause i have made some more progress on the build.I am going to do touchups after this section is done.the pics may not b in order but hope they help someone.

can someone tell me why the lower surround does not mate up it acts like it is missing a line that needs to be scored.anyone know what i'm talking about?

And yet more pics and more pics for your viewing pleasure....

More Pics Well due to my impatience i will have to find a way to fix my fold lines.I hope i can do something with water based paint.Anyway here are some more pics.They look better in person than on the screen??Thx to all that are giving me input on this build.I could not do it without you all.

Well confession is gd 4 the soul they say soooooo.. i got over ambitious and already did my folds with a black sharpie.It does not look bad to me i did a fairly gd job on it and i have a steady hand. My camera is charging so i will post a pic of it and let the experts do the deciding after a while.

Definitely need to color the lines while i still can get to most of them but what color sharpie do u recommend...I dont think u mean black? thanks for the comments. I am just glad to c it looks like a starship LOL!! I am trying to work on the tunnel a.t.m.I am trying to decide if i want to...

Hi all.... I know it has been a while but camera issues and work has kept me away from the RY. I know it is not perfect but here r some more pics of my progress...hope they help ppl with placement etc.Please note that the wedge shape piece is not glued in place but is generally where it goes.

LOL i have not forgot everyone. It is slow ATM I have the wedge pcs done and working on the LBS pcs. Work has to take priority over play...:( I am building all these pcs before i assemble them for fitting purposes. I will not give up...

The glue Zathros recommends is the best glue for the job.I also use loctite super glue for added strength after the other glue sets. It also drys clear.Someone else here told me about that. Gd luck on your build.I am only ten pieces into mine and it is already cool looking.

I use the ruler to guide my knife as a score the bends.It makes the bend easier to do.Thanks for the advice more pics to come.i have got to find a marker to paint in my lines....LOL
