Nice indeed and 3D printing is a definitive trend. For such fuselage, what are the pro and cons? Per example: cost, weight, sound, ground resonnance, assembling all printed parts, preparation before painting, shock resistance, etc. Any thoughts?
Looks great. One idea is to paint also the blades for tracking, nice looking in flight and eventually match with the fuselage. Find picture of real heli as example. You would use same yellow as the fuselage.
Note: RAL #1003 (traffic yellow) for Helitec (I use 1021 Colza to fit with weathering)
Still interested to know the approx weight of a 3D printed fuse and any other benefits vs fiberglass - is it per ex. lighter? (average of course as many factors).

Very nice
Nice looking heli 👍👍👍
Dang,
That's pretty sweet.

Pro : you will always be able to make another copy 😜
Very nice, I like the colour combination
Now I'm putting together the Red Airwolf version
Looks great. Nicely done. 😊
Thanks.
