How Not to Make a RC Helicopter Conversion
Intro: How Not to Make a RC Helicopter Conversion
This is a "normal" picooz conversion i made last year (2010). It is based on a "huey" vietnam type design and despite being my second attempt at a conversion was a steep learning curve in terms of balancing weight and carving the foam.The airframe,like most of my conversions, was a tad underpowered and could never really climb over 10" in height (thats feet,not inches!).Still,it was an interesting experiment.

yeah if you did want to make something like this with a picooz airframe,there is definitely no better "ible" to start with.Thanks for the recommendation anyway though Matrix-Technician.

I didn't really mess around with the picooz guts on this build,but plenty of other people have,such as the good people at

I wish I'd taken pictures of my first 5 attempts, yours looks like a masterpiece in comparison :-)
At the end of the day, you live and learn, without trying and failing, you won't learn and you won't succeed.
IMHO, it's not bad at all, just keep trying and experimenting ...
keep posting
