315- that was acft 23 if I remember correctly. The end (supposedly) of VH support at Sikorsky. Looking good as always.

That's looking good! Can't wait to see it painted! Starting #4! Where do you find the time? I've had to put modeling aside for now. Just too much going on.

Did you have "hands on" with that tail number? I remember when it was being laid-up in the DMC.

Hey Butch, The deleted windows are composite plugs from the inside that used the original rivet pattern for the window. The plugs have a relief that fills the window opening with a flange to rivet in place from the inside, if that makes sense. The second cabin window aft on the port side is a...

That's such nice work. A lot to be said about patience. Before you cut the window on the personnel door, keep in mind there isn't one on the VH 😜

You can't go wrong with a Brain2/iKon2 👍

I'm not sure, but with all the mods, there is a lot of new ones. It was definitely a good program for structure work. I have heard that HMX-1 has all 23 now.

The furnace in your shop reminded me I am due to have mine cleaned... Awesome work as always! 👍

Looking good! Just wondering what your head gain is at for this flight on the 3x? I want to compare to what I settled on with the 550 size heli with 4 blade head going into the MQ-8?

I think that's part of the instrumentation package from test/eval. Other images don't have it. I have gotten the FLIR platform worked out, just need to figure out the FLIR itself. The challenge is that this is only a .30/550 size heli. The nose datalink antenna is only about 25mm tall.

I see inlets! They look great! Did you print them? Also the String-Ty is the bomb!

Hi Butch. For wire management I have gotten some nylon cable clamps from Amazon and just use a small pan-head wood screws to mount them. Cable Clamp 200 Pcs Black Nylon Plastic R-Type Cable Clamps 3/16" 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" 3/4" 1" Clips Fasteners Assortment for Cable Conduit

Hi Michael, I have been trying to get them more verticle and use the phasing in the 3x, but since I am trying to adapt this head to the Shuttle SWM swash plate, there is interference with the swash follower. When they are set as the picture shows, I need very little phasing in the 3x and there is...
