U.S. Army career as a Helicopter mechanic (3 years) and then Helicopter Pilot (17 more years).
After the Army I did 28 years as an Airport Manager of a Part 139 Commercial Airport.
Retired in January 2024 and have been enjoying my building and flying of my helicopters and airplanes.
I got into RC Helicopters way back in the day when Heli Boys were the helicopter of choice (1984).
I have been in and out of the hobby due my busy job/life choices, but now I am enjoying the hobby again.

The quality of the three blade looks ok, but I have not flown it yet. The 600 clone sits back in far enough to detail out the cockpit area.

I am building one as well. My rotor head looks a little different than yours, but they both should work well. I am using the same clone 600 with a 700 boom and it fits perfect.

Welcome, and thanks for sharing your background. I was in the Army as a UH-1 crew chief and then went the Warrant Officer route and flew Huey’s. I am excited to watch your build progress. Emile Sheriff is one of the best scale builders I know and he lives there in Enterprise as well.

Great job! I enjoyed meeting you both at the event. I was very impressed with the quality and attention to detail that you have put into these machines.
