Upcoming models

Sent the Long EZ to Chris at ecardmodels. Next up is the Hughes 630 NOTAR.

Oh, i saw that Long EZ flying over my house once. I heard it approach and went to check the skies. Not really a plane spotter, but I could tell it was a different aircraft then what normally flies around here (the regular high and low wing sport flyers).

I've never seen a Long EZ in person, but I can imagine it would make an impression. I keep holding the model up and imagining it as some space fighter. I might have to do a BSG (Battlestar Galactica) version just because.

Here's a shot I took of one that used to be across the hangar from a plane I fly.

Next two models ready to go. Gonna send the Hughes 600 up to Chris today, The Hughes 500 will go up tomorrow.


The last pic is something I started last night.

Is that TC's Hughes from "Magnum, P.I."?

Yes it is

but the cockpit is a bit more pointed than what the 500 looked like in the series

There were two version flown in the series

this one, with the V tail


and later in the series, the T tail


I hope this helps

I wondered about the pointy front end. Gonna have to fiddle with it a bit.

[murphyaa]

Seems the 3 view I used had a pointier nose than the Magnum chopper. Must be an different version. I flattened the nose as much as I could without using petals.

BTW...

Anybody interested in the OH-6 Cayuse? I discovered it's actually an MD 500 painted OD with rockets...

I say go for it!! and make the older V-tail and the newer T-tail, would be nice to have options. Oh and do you think you might ever get back to making the WC-54 ambulance? Awsome job on all of your new models so far!!
