Medevac, the next step?

[Fats Flyer]

hiya phil,

ive had mine since they first appeared on the scene, but im a bit of an animal with my flying toys sometimes.

i do a lot of night flying, i put a set of lights on the skids, great fun.

looking for something better now, going to look at heli's down at the wings and wheels show.

[Phil Winks]

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

[Fats Flyer]

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]

wot did you use for the floats often thought about fitting mine with them

[Fats Flyer]

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]

Blue foam have you a supplier of this rocking horse stuff

[Fats Flyer]

i get mine from places like wickes d.i.y stores or insulation companies.If you can't get hold of it , pm me your address and i'll send youa bit.

did you want it for the medevac floats

[Phil Winks]

Thanks mate well not actually a medivac its the bell 47 civilian version before the medivac. i'll try these  1st. I'm assuming its a fairly high density foam. any way thanks again happy flying

[Fats Flyer]

hi phil , this is what it looks like with the floats on, looks great ,doesn't it

[Fats Flyer]

yes , it's a dense foam, easily shaped and sands beautifully

[Phil Winks]

Very smart mate as you can see mines an older version and yes still on original motors

[Fats Flyer]

looks like new phil

[Phil Winks]

You need to look close sellotape repair to canopy and paint missing but I do try thanks

[Fats Flyer]

for the age of the twister, it's still looking good.

im looking forward to wing and wheels show, i need to upgrade....i can't wait

new planes and new heli on the cards

[Phil Winks]

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

[Fats Flyer]

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

[Phil Winks]

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

[Fats Flyer]

yes , i know, your right, but ive been itching for a few certain planes i want first. my birthday is in september, so i'll have to suck up to the wife for that....he he he

[Phil Winks]

well you pays ya money mate  think we're going of thread he he before i go thanks for the info on the floats and check this link and unlike eric scroll right down the page happy landings

Twin rex aka ch47

[Fats Flyer]

now that looks nice, i want one and shall add it to my never ending wish list

[Phil Winks]

just like me mate now i think a little attention to the long haired blonde one might be in order to secure the funds hee hee

[Fats Flyer]
