Super Bright Strobes

I usually fly in daylight so I installed some insanely bright strobes so I could see them in the bright sun. They work great, but it makes them blinding at night.

USDA Forrest Service Unimog

I need the most heavy duty 1/18th scale oil shocks available for this heavy rig. Any suggestions?

Found some old pics of an S-64 lift I got to witness from a frustratingly safe distance.

He landed that thing between two tilt-up commercial buildings that are closer together than they seem in the images. The placed a large air handler unit on a building with a footprint too big for a normal crane. This was in Vacaville, CA.

More laser cut kits from Aliexpress

People seemed interested in the little Greek fishing Trawler, so I thought I would share a few more kits from AE that are in the build que. A couple cabin cruisers, and hokey looking gun boat of some sort LOL. I'm looking forward to building the one in the middle.

Greek Fishing Trawler - 9 Inches

This was a simple laser cut model I saw on Alixpress. Super fun build. Only 9" long, it needs calm weather sailing.

S-64 Sky Crane

I had a lot of fun doing the CH-53E Super Stallion conversion, so I did another one. This one has the same mechanics setup as the CH53E. It is also a static model print adapted for flight. I'm don't like the paint color, but other than that, I'm pretty happy about this one too.

S-64 Sky Crane - Another Conversion

Coast Guard MH-60 Rescue Hoist Practice

My first time testing the hoist in flight. It works good!

Also my first attempt at a 360 video on a flying model. I'm still getting the hang of editing 360 videos.....

CH53E Super Stallion - 250ish Size

I got the file from Cults. It's intended to be a static desktop display model, so I had to modify it heavily to adapt it for flight.

It uses RC-Era C189 mechanics, YuXiang F119S main rotor blades, and a Goosky E2 tail motor and blades.

I tried the C189 tail motor at first but it got so hot, it melted the tail. I printed the next tail out of ABS, but the Goosky motor doesnt even get warm.

It flies just like any other RC Era heli.
