SCALE HELICOPTERS

HI to those that know me know im quit new to flying but i have a final plan for all my flying and that is to have a Scale heli to fly around so i have a couple of questions to start my brain working!!!

1) What are the largest and best stile of blades that i could use for a scale heli, as this will determin how big the heli will finaly be.

2) Does anyone know what the max weight a eclectric/nitro/pertol motors are capable of taking off, this will detemain the materials, weight and type of motor i use.

3) Finally does anyone have much experience in building scale heli's any additional help would be greatfull.

The final model is going to be either a AH64 Longbow or a EC-135 Helimed

Your answer is endless and really depends on your budget. Carbon blades are the best but will cost up to £150 ish for a large scale and that could be powered by electric, gas or turbine motors.

May I suggest your starting point is the size of helicopter you want, that will then dictate the weight of the aircraft which in turn will dictate the size and type of motor and obviously the correct blades will follow.

You could speak to Hobby Corner at Wrexham as Kerin Taylor has scale helicopters, but I wouldn't wait too long as it is going around that the shop is soon to close, if not already and will become a hairdressers.

Look up Vario helicopters.co.uk
And
rcaerodyne.com

They have a huge range of Helis scale, heads, cockpits etc......
