Hi Pitts

I appreciate it very much!
Do you have any plan of making another FRP
scale fuselages for micro helicpters?

I am looking for high scale-like fuselages even if
the prices are high; for example,
Mr. Guenter's micro BK117 (clear body):

One fuselage kit including some additonal parts costs 160 Euro
+55 euro (delivery to japan) ; very expensive, but I and my friend
were satisfied to buy 2 kits.

Yes, I plan to make more. I have a list of the ones I want to make, but need to finish "HEMS 3" first...

We paid 380 euro + some bank transfer fee (about 25 US dollars)
for 2 BK117 clear bodies. Probably we are crazy. But, according to
Mr. Guenter, his price is a cost price, and these fuselages are not for
business.
Further a larger heli costs much more (a good brushless motor, and
a good controller,...high voltage Lipo cells). And I have a very few
occasions for going to a riverside. So large scale helis only occupies
my small room.

I just worked it out, that is around $300.00 Australian dollars each!!!!!
That is maybe around 5 times more than I would charge for my 412 FG body!!!!

So, I hope your works for sale from now on!
In particular, I like openable doors.
