stumbled on some old footage of my rc heli - horrible quality tape, but still was fun to see again for me... most of the aluminum colored stuff was home made, spent countless hours doodling servo layouts, then had to learn autocad and g code programming, set up the mill to cut the stuff...spent all of the late fall/winter '89-90 piddling with only this project, first air Easter Sunday '90, was so proud it flew fine from day one...
flew it often till 2000, got back into planes for a while when my kids were little, then a stress crack in a sideframe grounded it in 2005- thought 'in a few weeks' i'd get the new frames made, besides, had a newer/lighter/faster machine, so it languished...its still sitting.
