The Airforce Museum has hundreds of full size aircrafts, including helis. @michael Kranitz, Dallas is not central like Ohio, where you can attract pilots from both coasts.

Consider moving out to late spring? Schools and industries can participate, bigger time gap from the other big event.

Thanks, it's turning out better than expectation, but complexity has gone up.

I think if everything works out, this is as far as I can take this. Next is to create an instruction manual for the DIY version so that customers have the option to purchase this as a kit and build separate components (nose sensor or gun) themselves. Currently very time consuming for me to build...

Thanks, glad you're entertained: )

Nice, looks indestructable like a tank! Plates look very thick, what thickness is it?

Great PR! A little funny to see the term "Accessible Entry" below pictures of helis that cost more than some cars:)

Can you convert this post instead? I'll delete this and add it as a new chapter in the other post, which makes more sense.

29.5 lb flight weight.

Atomize smoke fluid with heated Nichrome wire.

It was a static display project, I've never flown it with the outboard passenger. His seat- the ammo bay door is supported by 2 tension cables, therefore not a rigid platform. I'm afraid he'll be bouncing up and down during flight, too risky.

I tried building my Cobra gun using a similar method years ago. This requires highly precise machining skills because a 1 mm deviation on the gun end will result in a visible rotational wobble on the nozzle end as the barrels spin. Sadly, I lacked this skills. I have since gone to 3d modeling and...

Thanks Mike. The next version will have recoil action.

Thanks Danny. When I first started the Len Mount Cobra 15 years ago, my inability to replicate the highly complex and exposed m197 gun stalled the project for a decade.

Yes.

It's a 3d printed approximation of the Roban Whiskey Cobra, I may print the canopy later to make it look less pissed off😄

This would be a perfect scale head for an Ah-1z Viper.

Beautiful shots and lovely G snake! Who makes this fuselage?

Looks like I'm the only one who followed instructions and posted it within this post. Everyone else violated the rule and posted their pictures separately:)

What do you mean? What I uploaded was 1920 x 1080, higher resolution than specified.
