Hi Steph,
First of all I like to say: “Great, elegant and functional model! Thumbs up!”. It's great to see that you incorporated the complete controls (cyclic/collective). Second, what a coincidence! Today I googled myself and found that you posted my Aerospatiale Alouette II helicopter on the French Techlug.fr site back in 2012. Thank you for the kind words. I googled you name and ended up here! Just to let you know…. After a ‘dark’ period I picked up the Alouette project again and currently working hard on creating instructions. After that’s finished I will definitely try your version. My next project will be a MOC of a Chinook at roughly the same scale with working controls.
Is great to see that there are still MOC-ers that doing other stuff like supercars and cranes. :)
Special thanks to Ivan for creating the instructions! :)
