Build Notes and photos for the Roban 600 Iroquois UH-1N

I thought I’d share my build notes for my UH-1N, and hope the info may be of use to anyone about to embark on a similar build. My heli is far from perfect and is only my second attempt at a scale model (I’m always amazed by the standard of others’ builds on these sites).

The notes include my component layout schema, wiring diagrams and the additional components I bought / built to complete the model.

In addition to mechanics and stock Roban fuselage, the build included lights, a glass cockpit (with working Artificial Horizon and compass rose), a HD camera in the cockpit that downlinks using standard 5.8GHz, a wifi camera in the nose turret (that downlinks to a laptop), and a RemoteID tramsmitter. There was also quite a bit of 3D printing to make items such as the wire strike protection system, the under-nose ball turret, the cockpit, and a battery tray.

I’d welcome any positive ideas to improve :)
