Hello, I just joined this forum. May I ask where did you get the mechanics for this heli?

Will you add a fiberglass fuse around the wood or do you have another plan?
It will be covered with aluminum foil
Hello Mirko, you have a great project, ask where you can get the blueprints for the wooden hull or is that also a kit, many thanks and best regards

This is an almost lost art form!
Building with the 3D printer was complicated for me...
Amazing.
Mirko,
This is amazing. The aluminum cladding is something I have yet to attempt. What is the process? Is it thin sheets of aluminum or an aluminum tape of sorts? Please explain.
Great job,

Hi, they are aluminum sheets used in offset printing.
They have a thickness of 0.15mm, then the rivets are made on the side where it is glued with contact glue.
WOW ... amazing
OMG WOW
OMG WOW!!!!!!
Brilliant, Just Brilliant.
Love the detail on this. Over the top!
