Thanks Fabien.

Hi BOyd,

i got to go back to work, but i'll update the website end of week with ice pictures of the Big one ( 1/5) and a few tuffs on the small one hehe ))

BEst regards,

Fabien

Sounds great!! Can't wait!!

Hey Guys, I don't know if you heard, but the Bell 429 has had its first ground test run in Canada and it was successful. So it is well on its way into production.

See yeah

That's great news. We sure don't want this beautiful scale model to end up like the RAH-66 Comanche models.

Cheers - Boyd

Hi Guys,
that's cool as our ( the big one as well) is soon ready as well..
A few pics of the 1/6 prototype hehehe
Mechanics is Zealous II (Turbine mechanics with Wren MW54) from our Australian partners Rc Rotortech ( Brian Simpson and Ted Khinsoe)
Soon in the air, and the small one will be ready quite fast as well....

BEst regards,
Fabien

Hi Fabien

The mechanism is installed in the ceiling like a full-size machine! Great!

Hi Kiyoomi,

yes it is, and it is same on the small electric version that i will show soon ( same size fuselage as for the Dragonus) .

Long time i did not talk to you, how is going your beautifull Agusta 109 MKII ??

BEst regards,
Fabien

Hi Fabien

Your mechanisms are great. The other scale mechanisms occupy
almost part of the space of the fuselages; Vario, Len Mount, Century,
ThunderTiger,....

Thank you for the compliment to my Agusta 109.
It is placed on the shelf above my desk; no problem for flying, but
batteries (SANYO 3000HV) are too old now. I have no occasions to go
to the riverside nowadays because of my business.

Hey Guys, From what I am hearing is that the Bell 429 has had its first sucessful test flight.

Talk to you later

MIKI

Hi Miki,

that is great news, on my side i'm working on the interiors now, i have sent you an email about this

We will finnish the 1/6 model first, then i willt ake care to make the new definitive molds for the production of the Bell 429 for 450 size.
And, great news, my insurance for fuselages is covering as well for USA and Canada since today
I will post the calendar of tests and releases withint end of march, this si long work now to get into production and all our models must be first checked and validated by Bell Helicopters before release.

I'll keep you informed with pics and videos soon on the pre production models

BEst regards,

Fabien

Thanks for the update Fabien,

Cheers - Boyd

thisis going to be very impressive! keep it up

HI,

i'm now adjusting the mechanics in the fuse to make the woodworks kits.

It's possible to fit in the whole mechanics, just by removing the landing gears.
I am making the tail boom and belts kits as well with Rcer ( they need to be a bit longer for the fuse). There is plenty of room available, and we are now in the process to make some changes on the mechanics, we are developing with Rcer a new main pulley ( not gear, pulley) wich will be much smaller to allow usage of lower KV motors and this will make teh mechanics width smaller.
By this, the whole lower frames will be removed and a small motor mount will be made to fit on the upper frames. Then, it will be possible to create a little top mechanics support and to have the full scale interior.

The fins are made already and will be added this week, landing gears are ok and i need to make them aluminium or eventually carbon if i want them to stay scale diameter.

I will make it do it's first hops next week ends, i need to make the windows molds now ( for the moment i'll paint them black).

End of month, i try the E-Flex rotorhead ( designed by David for us) and final touch will be the left rotating main head + tail on the other side ( easy with Dragonus alu tail, can be mounted any side

BEst regards,

Fabien

Drooooolllll. Awesome Fabien!!
