500 size fuselages

Motion, please carry the ec135 in 500 size

Would also be cool if they could work with Heli Roland to stock the Fenestron kit. As far as I know, they are only available through custom direct orders at the moment: http://www.rolandkraemer.de/index-Dateien/page0008.htm.

Completely agree. I personally find the 500 size to be a great balance between size, flight characteristics, and affordability. I have a wish list that is probably too long for my own good.. OH-58D, Bell 206, Bell 430, AH-1Z, Sikorsky R-5, OH-6A, UH-1H, UH-1Y, Dauphin, and Enstrom F-28 just to start :Drooling:.

Right now I am looking at a HeliArtist UH-1 on ebay for belt tail. I wish we had a few more choices in the 500 department. I guess HeliArtist went Tango Uniform along with the rest of the scale mfg's.
I would gladly settle for something in the 500 range WITH SKIDS that isn't a power egg. I like the eggs, especially the AH-6. But how about a nice two-bladed Huey or Cobra, or even a Bell 206 for heaven's sake. And I know the fuselages are very nice, but the price is a bit out there for the 600 size stuff.
The 500 is just right in my humble opinion.

I actually have the Heliartist UH-1 sitting around if you are interested. Started adding panel lines and such before I switched to working on my PKM UH-1C. If have the belt tail mechanism, as well as a set of scale blades for it.

Looking forward to the UH-1. This will be my spring project. I'm planning a Navy Rescue scheme for it.

Where can I go to find the scale bits like antennas, WSPS, etc?

I used finescale models for a lot of the detail parts on my Apache. Lots of detail parts for the Huey available here: https://www.fine-scalemodela.com/500-uh-1.html

I have a Raptor 50. It is nitro. It has a Redline 56H. Any suggestions for a good scale fuse from Motion?

The raptor .50 equivalent to a 600 size heli, so it should be a pretty straight fit in any of the fuselages with a straight tail: https://www.motionrc.com/collections...%20to%201499mm. In particular, I would recommend either the Airwolf or an MD500. You will need to do some modification for an exhaust exit, and mounting the mechanics, but everything should be the right size.

Thanks! Wasn’t sure on the size conversion to electric. Did you get any more info on the lost F-4?

I looked around the apartment complex, talked to neighbors, checked dumpsters for a box, and no joy. Called Motion and they are looking into it. Hopefully it was just a system screw up and the package is still on the truck or something.

Finally started building the UH-1 project. I plan to do some work on her this weekend while it's raining.
