Hi Mark,

Could you post some more photos of your dummy turbine gearbox? Thanks.

Regards,
Rick

When I get back home, I'll take more. Tyler Gray made this and a few other parts for me.

Thanks Mark. Wish I had the skill to draw in CAD.

Hey guys,
I was researching for my build and found this vendor who sells quite a few scale parts for the 1/5 scale Lama and the prices, even in pounds, is very reasonable.

Tyler does great 3d parts! He did the dummy Lycoming for my R22.

All helis and planes have an expiration date stamped on them...you only find it after you crash!!

Barry, is this the same Tyler that builds those beautiful water baskets?

Roy Mayoral

Yup, same guy. He's a super cool dude too

There's still a lot of work to do, but here's a few shots of what I've done on the dummy turbine.

Mark,

That's looking great! Thanks for the update.

Looks great bud! Will she be coming to HSM this year?

Barry,
That's the plan. I probably won't get all the scale detailing done by then but will fly what i got.

Holy cow!! that looks awesome!!

Roy Mayoral

Hey Mark, no worries, My R22 has yet to see an ounce of paint See you there...

Got a new addition for my Lama from Alex aka Iflytallies.

That looks sweet!!

Roy Mayoral

Awesome detail. I like I fly Tailies stuff, it's very high quality.

Mark,
did you buy the dash kit or the ready to install version?

Roy Mayoral

Well, as I recuperate from my illness, I decided to do a little work on my Lama since I am going on the road again for two weeks.
Did I say I can't wait to retire in December??

I reassembled the core with motor then installed the landing gear. I will admit I checked and rechecked numerous times to make sure it was centered correctly but she is now on her legs.
It looks a lot bigger now.

When I get back home in two weeks I will paint the stinger and install the tailboom.

Roy Mayoral

Looks good bud! That is one LARGE motor and clutch...
