Nothing amazes me anymore Chris when you come up with yet another thing to fit an electric motor into along with flashing lights , propellers and wires.

Just another day in Norfolk.......all appears to be going well and the mods you are doing to this poor chopper are nothing short of miraculous! Chris, I did notice that the tail rotor was spun up to some pretty high revs, are you going to install a rheostat to control the speed of the main and tail rotors or just let 'em go based on the applied voltage? Well done so far.......keep it coming! Rick H.:thumb2:

AN HI Rick yes just another day in Norfolk nothing unsual about that an cheers for your kind comments on my work an if you think its miraculous! then thank you very much as i said to John ABOVE it can still go pear shaped an i wont breathe easy till its all sprayed in a nice royall dark blue with all decalls on an every thing working then i can give a big (PHEW ) as i must admit ive come close to some bad scrapes on the ship which i dint think id recover from but must be my stubbon streak i reacon lol an yes Rick i could fit in a slower voltage reducer down to 1'5 volts to slow down the rear rotor but then the main rotor will hardly be turning so i think id better leave it at 3v on the motors an yes theres still a lot to come
ATB Rick thanks for lookin in
