These should be arriving today for the rotors on my air ambulance build. Pantherman

No. Look up IPMS online. You can be able to search by state / city. Syrcon is located in Syracuse - an hours drive from me. If you're nearby a major city like Houston or wherever, they tend to have the major IPMS Nationals show. I've never been to a major IPMS Nationals show before but love to go to one someday.

80 miles from Dallas, very rural here. Ill check it out. Are those rotors for looks or will it fly?

 

[BlackSheepTwoOneFour]

Pfffttt. 80 miles is a little over an hour. Rochester is 2 1/2 hrs from me via NYS Thruway.

Unless it's the traffic that's takes you longer to get there. Even if it ends up a 2 1/2 hr drive each way - it's worth a trip.

Hopefully rotors will spin but not for flying as it will be glued down in a diorama. Pantherman

Am I reading that right? Those Motors start at $35,000 RPM up to 50,000? Is that going to work for a helicopter main rotor? Seems to me it should be more around 750 RPM up to about 1500. I could be wrong but now I'm just curious

 

[Jim62]

Just arrived today. I think I'll focus on some multi engine kits once I finish my current build. This one looks to be an interesting build. Very happy it comes with pre cut masks.

I didn't really think about that just went for the size as it was almost a perfect fit.

My thinking was to have a motor with a bit of guts in it due to the weight of the rotor assembly. My assumption was that this would slow it down, also it's quite a strain to get it started. I'm probably way off with this thinking but I'm kinda stuck with it now so I hope it works.

I have also added a speed control so maybe that will help? Pantherman

With the speed controller probably should work. I'm kind of curious as to if it really will work because those are quadcopter Motors which are high output man those things are fast if you fly them radio control racing drones

Should have the rotors done in a weeks time so we will see if I have messed up or got close to what I was hoping to achieve. Pantherman
