agep Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Hi all I figured I should post my contest contribution on the forum. I bought this helicopter just a few months ago, and of course I had to model it:) I've always been an r/c guy but haven't used helicopters before (no I don't count those 30 bucks styrofoam toys we was playing with at the hash bash, lol). Helicopters are really hard to fly, but even more fun when you manage to control it a little Comments and crits are always welcome Quote
KenH Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Cool model! Scale it up and it could be used as a real one! BTW did you get the model online? I'd love to get one too. Quote
DarkLimit Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Really great model.....what's ur lighting style? Quote

mtpeak2 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I want one too. Great model as usual, Stian. Quote
strohbehn Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Outstanding modeling and texturing job, Stian. I've flown both gas and electric R/C heli's and it's a blast. Please be sure to spend a lot of time on a good heli simulator before attempting anything other than tail-in hovering, unless you want to spend a lot of money and time in repairs. Heli's have no stable orientation like a plane, so it's easy to get disoriented and lose control quickly.... usually with very bad results! Have a great time flying! Quote
Zaryin Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Yeah, I guess I'm going to post what I always post when you post a post of a model and that is -- "Awesome!" One of these days I'm just going to screw with everyone and make a kickin' mechanical model . Quote
