This project is taking an Exceed R/C Blue Ray, 450 sized sport helicopter and converting it to a scale ship.  I decided to make mine a USAF Special Operations bird.

One of the tricks with this project was keeping everything as light as possible as I accurized the fiberglass fuselage.  I used rigid insulating foam for the cockpit and intakes.  The pilot is a 1/18th scale action figure.  I drew up some custom decals in AutoCad, and finished them in Photoshop.
