Natter Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 OMG - Damien! I have some seriously fond memories of that cab from Ballykelly days. Underslung and swinging under a Chinook so badly we thought they would have to cut it away, but they brought it back. 28 year flashbacks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dervish Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Nice model but the tail rotor of an AH1 turns in the opposite direction (anti-clockwise when viewed from the left) to an AH7 (clockwise) and has different blades. I believe you’ve retained the AH7 tail rotor and blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep ,because I couldn't get the resin replacement to stick together, four individual blades to a hub with butt joints, I knew someone would pick it up i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look upon Lynx tail rotors more critically in future though. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Looks great! How hard was it to do the blades? I have this conversion kit to make a HAS 3 from an HMA8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperUK Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 It was surprisingly easy , took less than an hour for all four, I'm working on a HAS.3 at the minute but won't need to change the blades as I'm doing this one with the Mk.8s blades. albion125 by Tony Osborne, on Flickr This was the last helicopter to fly out of Bessbrook Mill.
