Bell 206L Long Ranger

I have already a Phoenixtech 600ESP "ready" to go in it.

BUT if you have some mechanics to suggest please do so, I'll may use that for my next project 😉

Thanks for the confidence... but my skill level is not close to what I see on this site; and especially see what you are doing with the S-92 build is a jaw-dropping every step for me.

Thanks for the tip

I purchase the Vario Self adhesive rivets
https://www.vario-helicopter.biz/ca/product_info.php?products_id=33787
then i used a Syringe with a large nozzle https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08J7ZWKGD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_ti...
to drop glue on top and the paint gave that looks that I believe is ok for this project.
I hope this help.

The paint scheme will be very simple, nothing to do with the EC135 from Ian Bishop. The picture below is NOT the 206L but I'm trying to make my 206L "look a like" the 206B.

You got that right .... lol

I'm not even close on what you're doing with your project.

Thanks

i'm a sketchup user, and i'm trying to learn blender. I'd like experiment with my 3D printers, but i should take a look to the commercially printing option that you suggest.

Harold, I used a dollar store glue very inexpensive but it did the trick.

Thanks Butch

i'm using sketchup for my designs or modifications of parts that I find on thingiverse. Fusion360 is very powerful, i started to learn Blender but for small parts it's so quick in sketchup. The antenna in the picture are my sketchup made but the Bearpaws is from Thingverse. I'm working on another Antenna design, in sketchup, to add to the heli.

I was able to do a quick flight. It went well overall but at one point I wasn't sure she was doing something funny or my fingers, since I could not feel them anymore.. lol

Thanks

Thanks

It's a very nice setup Butch, I'll need to build something like that has the fleet grow. I hope to have enough space in my KIA Carnival, to add my next heli, Roban 429 (700). How you secure your heli's? I 3D printed some skid lock but I'm sure there are many other ways. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mang,

The rack is secured to the seat brackets on the forward side with snap clips or carabiners and the luggage tie down in the rear with small chain and turn buckles to hold it in place. The sliding shelf has 4 heavy duty drawer slides and is secured with a 1/4-20 through bolt to the rack structure.

All my helis have wheels so they all sit in transport cradles. The cradles are made so the helicopter can not slide forward or aft and can not roll over. Each cradle is attached to the rack with eyebolts and hook clips. For long trips I use velcro straps for some added security between cradle and heli.

Some more pics,

Aft mounting.

Clips to hold cradles.

Thanks for the pictures; I'll use the idea for my next "upgrade" .

Thanks Butch
