Random finished pictures and transport
Oct 27, 2024
The pics will show the finished model and how I transport it. Fully fueled and ready for flight it weights in at about 45 pounds. Note the type of spring isolators I sourced for transport. These provide vibration isolation and dampening. Plus, a very short video confirming TR pitch in hover.
The on ground 2 wheel dolly was machined from bar stock. Heavy but stable. 3D printed skid slots they key into the dolly. I change them out for transporting the Lama.

Nice save...
Using the video projector is brilliant, never seen this!
Thanks!
The projector is KEY!
Never seen indeed, either build reports or Vario wiki (I won the 2nd prize in 2023 contest with Bell 212 1:7 build report). Usage of video projector looks to be generally "undocumented" or not used often, while makes so sense to use it for best scale results, like a laser. Maybe I miss something, that's possible
That pretty cool. I like it.
