I did a search of this website before opening this new topic, I was amazed no hits came up! want to find a SH-3 rc model, someone here will no doubt have some (or a lot of) info regarding one. I prefer electric power but fuel versions can probably be revised.

Hi O Boat, welcome home to Hobby Squawk! What size SH-3 are you looking for? I remember seeing a kit/body for a 200 sized helo. As for a large size (600+), I can't recall seeing one available in common ARF format. We sell Roban, among the largest fiberglass helicopter manufacturers, but even they don't have an SH-3. At least not yet.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Welcome to the forum O Boat! The only SH-3 I know of is a 500 size fiberglass fuselage made by PKM hobbies. If you scroll through their photos on Facebook, there are a few photos of it there: https://www.facebook.com/pg/phuketho...=page_internal. They do them on a 1 off basis, so it takes a few months to get it built up.

I'm going to look into 3D printing as it lends itself to a much less expensive fuselage AND is far easier to ship. By the way, "O Boat" refers to USS ORISKANY CVA 34, last of the Essex Class aircraft carrier; we dropped more munitions on North Vietnam than the entire U.S.Air Force did. From the " Tonkin Gulf Mobile International Airport"...Topcat 3

I sure hope the rest of your day got better, for everyone's sake. I would've thought by now you would have gotten over that whole "babykiller" routine. The military doesn't start wars, politicians do---when the people let them.Topcat 3

The running gear for a helo seems a bit pricey, and I could well be having one 'o those "champagne wishes on a beer budget" moments. Another example: wanting an 80mm EDF F14 with all the bells & whistles AND 2 onboard FPV head track cameras... I have a couple of friends that I know would get a kick out of riding RIO backseat and being able to look around like they're really in flight. Jeez, good thing I'm a geek, that's a bit of doing, eh?Topcat 3
