Helicopter PHOTO Gallery and Discussion: Post Yours

Here's what I was talking about, gets them off the shelves, can carry them by the handle and has rubber feet on the bottom to keep them from sliding around the back of the truck.

GP - That is totally cool.  What a great idea!  I'll have to make something like that.  They won't look as fantastic as yours do, but they should function.  Thanks for posting that.

Thanks Tiger, I have to admit, it's not totally my idea.
I searched a couple of the heli forums to see what others were doing to store their helis so this is kind of a combination of other ideas. 

GP - Hey... I don't care if the whole idea was stolen.  It's your execution that impresses me.  Just awesome!  I hope to steal it from you.

I like what it does for the decor.  8)

Me too. Don't know if I would get away with it in some other room of the house though. 

I've ordered one of the Hansen hobbies nano receiver switchs to run the lights using a TX switch off a 4 cell NiMH battery. I have the battery in there for ballast any way so I figured it just as well be doing something.

Thanks for helping get the paint color sorted out for me John, as you can see, what you sugested is a very close match.

Cool.  I'm glad the paint worked for you.  It's the red color I used on my OFNA Hyper 10Sc body.  Not quite Ferrari red, but close enough for rock and roll.

Are you going to be shooting some video soon?  If you have a chance I would also like to see it next to your other helicopters, especially your TRex 600 to get an idea of it's size.

When we get some sunshine again, I'll get all three helis outside all lined up for a photo shoot. I can tell you already, the 500 really looks small compared to the other two. I'll get some video also, but a little later.
Seems like every time the sun does come out I see something that needs done around the house.  :  I'll be caught up with that stuff soon though.

Another photo I had to share. 

Great Photograph Bill!  What a great looking helicopter.  Kudos!

The Hansen hobbies electrical switch came late last week. This morning I made a little harness to connect it all together and she works pretty slick with the flip of a switch on the TX.

Here are a few side by side photos John.

Great looking fleet Bill!  Every one looks terrific.  Also nice surroundings for the photo shoot.

Just in the mood for some photography -- Some Heli pron for the Gallery -- My PRÔTOS 500, Main Rotor

That's a great shot wOOd.

I just noticed this too, it's a good one.  ;D

hehe, thanks Bill, I think the contrast makes it. Getting the blacks to look like "real" black I mean

LOL, re: "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!" I change my one-liners often and I think your the first to notice

PS: Check your PM soon, I have a gift for ya which you may like or may not. Use it if you like or toss it ...

Hi all

Both, Bill and I have been working on a few of his photo's and thought we would share and post em up in the Helicopter Photo Gallery

This is the original compared to the first shot above




Next is what motivated the creation of teh first which both Bill and I thought and y'all might agree had a wee bit too much editing -- HERE

Hope you like them

The photos look good w00d and Bill.  I like how the wood of the picnic table really pops and in the second photo how the blue paint on the fuselage looks like it is metallic.

I still really like the H mat. Mine is not that nice.

Agree.

Bill - I went to both our local DIY and home improvement places and could not find a mat like that.  They usually only have the type with holes in them.  Do you remember where you got yours?  If it was online do you have a link?
