 Re: Forum for one....
^It was impossible to resist having this, when I saw those gears. Of course the price also was reasonable...  Have been thinking to make Citroen RE2 scale body, but haven't started yet because I have no experience about glass/carbon fibre work. Also hard to find proper drawings or photos of it, to make mold to make the fuselage. If the money wasn't issue, then someone else should make that for me, and it would be powered by twin rotor wankel (very nice one at aliexpress, not so expensive at all). I'm only lack of money, skills and time for that, nut who knows about future..?

 Re: Forum for one....
Finding 3D printer big enough could be problem. With the size I like, the lenght of fuselage is over one meter long... Printed plastic, will be quite heavy, making mold with printer could be possible and then learning to laminate glassfibre as thin as possible is the next issue...
Couple of battery packs is charging, going to listen the whine of gears and blade flapping... Relaxing, it's impossible to think about anything when flying...
