I guess since it is solar, you can't fly at night? What happens if it gets cloudy mid flight?:)
pssst... paint the helo yellow and black

I'll bet uncrating that stuff is pretty thrilling for you! If you're anything like me I can just stand there and stare while my mind whirls...pun sorta intended.
Trans looks like a nice piece of equipment, that coming from someone who knows zilch about 'em. Pressure lubed bearings?
Just so you know, you're gettin' my three votes everyday.
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
Impressive, very impressive. (Put me down as jealous, well, a little).
A long list of questions come to mind. Are you a pilot with a helo rating? Where did you find this 'kit', if I may call it that? Obvious one is how you going to get it out of the room, garage door has to be nearby.
And lastly, nice stairs but where are they going? Bit of wall there. ;}
And not so lastly, should I have read a buncy of previous posts that you've put up before I asked all these silly questions?
ciao, ted
