  1. Ah, just saw 'em after zooming in.

    If you want to add a further splash of color to that gearbox area, the swash plate was normally a grey color. Check out the HC2 in the walkrounds area - there's some good shots of the gearbox and rotor head at the end of the thread.

  2. Chris if they were anything like the UK versions, the emergency pack - the big curvy part of the seat base - that was yellow, with a sheepskin bum comforter laid on top.

    That might be completely useless information for you, I'm not sure.

  3. Agreed. You can actually see in the image above, on the print in the extreme left, that the first couple of layers stuck, or tried to stick to the build plate and the "perforated" base has delaminated further into the print as the suction became greater than the peeling forces.

  4. I just got some feedback from a customer who's working with the Fly kit. 

    I must admit I had my reservations about sending out 1/32 parts when I didn't have a kit available for testing with but Kevin has done a great job, and given me permission to share his work.

     

    I think Kevin has done a fantastic job withe nose door bulkhead - I'd never have thought the printed parts would have been such a good fit (hence my previous caveats).  I'm happy to be proved wrong.

    The upper bay turned out just as good

    It's great to see folks getting such fantastic results with these printed parts. It makes all those hours spent wrestling SolidWorks worthwhile.

  5. For those folks ordering the cockpit set, I've mentioned the servo valve a couple of times - I'm guessing a few of you may not know where it is located, and photos of it aren't that common, so...

    It's that valve looking thing on the left of the photo, sitting midway between the pedals.

    Here endeth this week's public service announcement. 😁

  6. Imo, those base supports are still way too big. There's no need to have the support surface as large as that.  

    Even with all those holes you have there's still an incredible amount of suction being generated by that large of a flat surface
