Phil Winks Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Me 2 mate thinking of a belt cp i've seen a nice scale fuse for them and the lights for my bell47 (see my album) are on their way from brentford rc centre they've custom made them. good set of lads down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fats Flyer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 i was looking at the cp belt as well, seems a good price and parts are easily available.my medevac also flys of water , i made a pair of floats for them , a bit dodgy on landing, it has to be soft or it'll turn into a submarine.the light i have on the medevac did come from brentford rc, most of my spare parts comes from them , and yes they do try and look after you, im happy with them.

Phil Winks Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 wot did you use for the floats often thought about fitting mine with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fats Flyer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 i used blue foam and covered them with green solartex.the joining beams to the floats were large cocktail sticks.they were fixed to the helicopter with the thin metal tie wraps. they stay put... no problems as yet......when finished they were extremley light, if memory serves me right, they only weighed about 10 grams.

Phil Winks Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm afraid my new wings are waiting till I've spent a £100 quid on a spektrum dxi6 2.4 ghz system movin into rotary's is making that a must as is electrifying my hanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fats Flyer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 im going to wait a while before i change to 2.4ghz, i still prefer my ff6 at the moment.it still does what it should , so the money i have will be for a new fleet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Winks Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Amongst considerations other than the tech glitch free thing scale heli,s look so much better without the huge ariel wire and to be honest now,s a good time to change as the futaba will prob still sell on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
