WOW Pete :thinking: dont do that give me ideas like that you'll give me a heart attack lol you must have seen how small the area is with your chopper LOL but i think that idea has merit on something a bit bigger with contactacts on a non eletrical back plate an same on the other side of the hinge so that when you close it the eletric passes an works thing an when the hinge is swung back then the eletric contact are broken congrates Pete a very good idea indeed an i may use it someday hope you not goin to pattern pending the idea :tongue-out3: :rolling: :smiling: :cold-sweat: lol

Chris, 'seriously eccentric' and 'nutty as a fruit cake' doesn't begin to describe you --- however, a 'seriously talented model maker' does! Keep going mate - onwards and upwards!

Hi Chris
Wonderful work. This kit would require a lot of extra work even if just built as a static model but you're taking it to whole new level.
Nearly there :thumb2:

Nah Chris, not bonkers at all.....the whole ship is a working model so why shouldn't the choppers work also?........sort of expected, if you ask me:tongue-out3:.......you crazy, but in a good way! Keep on it mate.:thumb2:

Name a person who can take a plastic kit beat it into shape , fill it with miles of wire , lights motors , resin , servos and apart from the kitchen sink just about anything else you can imagine.
Could that be you Chris ?

Unfortunately I don't have the supplier base that most of you fine modellers/makers have in your part of the world, which may present a challenge, but I will investigate further as to what might be available here.

Tell me about it. Model hobby is not the most popular in Denmark either. Most of my stuff is mail order from Germany or Poland! Have only two model shops "local". a four hour round trip to the one, two hours for the other. So cheaper to get it mailed!
