This
is my latest work, this helicopter has a little electric motor to spin
the main rotor blades, also it has two little lights inside the cockpit,
it was very difficult because this kit is very small, actually
it is the
smallest kit that I have made I had some problems to put the batteries and
the switch because there isn’t space inside the model, but after many
nights trying, at last I could do it.
I
begun to arm the model this way
The
first thing to do is install electric motor, lights, batteries compartment
and the switch all together
in the back side of passenger seat, I use little cell batteries to power
it .

The
next step was put all the main parts together to check out how all
components work.
After
that I followed the instru ctions in the box, the model was painted with Tamiya
paints,
And
now it is finished, check it out.
I
did enjoy a lot doing this model, the only thing that I don't like was that I
was not able to spin the tail rotor blades, in my next project a scratch build
helicopter Agusta 109A that was given me by a friend, I will try to install a
little motor in the tail rotor blades and to install flashing lights.
