[boatman]

WELL GUYS the gent as sent me this pic of how he wired it up an yes i understand this as a pic is worth a thousand words so should be able to follow this ok

[boatman]

HI ALL well cant do that gunfire unit for a while as waiting for the spk to come an still a bit of confushion over that wiren dio so its back to that cheapo 50p helo seaking an as it came in a plastic bag i think i had two different kits parts as it was a terrible fit as thats why i dint show the build but i think i have made a silk purse out of a sow's ear as to me it dont look to bad in fact better than i hoped pics below an its a fictoinal chopper as the decals went a bit funny an some spit so had to use what i had an first shot with the main door open as it slid nicely in its runners

Chris, if you plan on keeping it yellow just hit it with flat clear coat and save yourself some work.

Oh and yes, if you want to change the colour you can spray matt on top of gloss.

HI Jim thank you on the chopper an how it turned out as yes im pleased be glad when i can get the stern section up on the table to fit it on the flightdeck with the blue chopper an see how they look as they should fit on ok as the flight deck is 20inches long an Jim no i have not got the eletrics sorted yet as yes i know an understand 90% of it but its the led's gun flash thats confusein me as the resistors fitted to the led's in the gents dioagram are to me wrong but i'll have me m8 Richard have a look an see if he thinks the same then i will alter it to how i think it should be CHEERS FOR STOPPIN
