faceman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Having finally got hold of a SARO Skeeter kit, many thanks to John at Aeroclub and some further info regarding 814, thanks Aeronut, I can start contemplating building. However this has given me the KUTA to finish the D&T Sioux seen on the right of the photo. so there might be a bit of a gap to the first update.

faceman Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 If you need any info I've got a copy of the manual for the Skeeter.Steve Thats great news. Any drawings of the engine bay framework would be brilliant. I'm determined to finish the Sioux before starting the Skeeter, but I am already starting to plan what plastic to cut and what bits to make.

All the best Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The info is great, a good starting point for working out the build. I'm looking to do a large scale version as a first full scratch build in the future.

JamesP Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It makes a nice little kit. It's worth removing the engine grill and scratching the gearbox and struts as the grills seem to have been removed in service. I found the decals a bit tricky to use so it may be best to use aftermarket. See my build here: http://gregers.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=9331 and some handy walkrounds http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/mark_hay...skeeter_aop.12/ http://www.flightglobal.com/AIRSPACE/photo...ter-cutaway.jpg http://www.cbfsim.org/cbfsim/cbfsBB/viewto...0784bf0#p144621 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAC versions did not have covers on. The belts on the side were the main drive from the engine to the main rotor gearbox. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
