helicopter with Citroen gears...

^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..?

You should find someone with an 3D printer...

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...

Mercedes emergency/hand brake is non existant. Can't find you tube to explain how to adjust my model

mercedes had emergency foot brake, or was this only the old models.

Yes, emergency foot brake, I know the therory, but can find the cog to turn

Try this... same system on the old Volvos but for all brakes.

Went to the farm where my friend lives. We took off the calipers and discs and turned the adjusters up some. The drum part of the discs were very rusty and I can't believe the handbrake passed the mot in february! The good news is the calipers and discs came off without any issues. I ffel more confident about further adjustment on the road outside of mine.

Still don't have a satisfactory handbrake, But I know the issue now.

I will turn the adjusters up some more and dust out the handbrake drums.

Progress

Brave man, Roger. The modern Mercs scare me. I have a couple older ones which I love.
