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
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 don't like the paint color, but other than that, I'm pretty happy about this one too.
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.

P-51 Kit Plane - Thunder Mustang
I saw these parked at the end of a ramp during the Reno Air Races one year. They are 3/4 scale P51s, built from kits.
