Very nice Steve

the only thing i would be concerned about is airflow to the engine.

It looks like that black square tube that runs from the air inlet in front of the head acts as a cooling system. I saw the fan blade and kinda figured that was what IT was for.
Then seen this,

The holes in the tail are the forced air exhaust.

This is an awesome scale heli! I can't wait to see it completed and flying.

Hi,guys few more pics with her sunday best taken off,
Wanted to check everything was ok inside the fuse,Good job I did,i found a few problems that needed sorting,main one was a servo brass spacer
lodged solid in the swashplate elevator guide,could of been nasty.
well ive got the electrics in and all linked up with my dx6i,been looking at the vids on here on set-ups,
and I am relearning a great deal,through you guys much appreciated.going to modify the front of the fuse so I can access the electrics ect.
will keep you posted,and hopefully show you all when she is all painted and ready,oh bye the bye I bet some of you guys would call me crazy to fly a fused heli
after being away from the hobby for a while??so I bought the phoenix simm,and also a skyartec wasp x3,so it will keep me busy until I am confident with it all
again,cheers all,ste
