Roban B429 Heli Alps 700 Size Scale Helicopter - ARF

[Btc624]

Just beginning in this hobby and your post on this 429 is what i can someday hope to fly. Gorgeous job, I just built my first kit a SAB Fireball. My question is how hard are the bigger kits to build? I would imagine far more difficult for a beginner like myself😀

I picked one of these up last week, very nice looking helicopter. I set it up on an Ikon2 FBL.

Looks great! Working on my 429,

Very nice! Great work with the Medical interior. Will be working on doing something similar with my Mercy Air Bell 222.

Very nice work RCJP
i have the same 429 but changed the scheme to a Police EMS heli with the same colors. I am also modifying the interior to a medical version.
thanks for sharing!

Hey George, Thanks for sharing your B429 with us. I'm starting my build with a lack understanding about (washer) mentioned in Step 6; not seeing the purpose.
Could you shed some light PLEASE!!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE

I'm not quite sure if I'm answering your question correctly, but if it's related to what is underlined in the picture, it's saying to make sure you there's a flat area on the motor shaft to tighten the set screws down... some motors don't have a flat section all the way down the entire shaft, just on the end closest to the base.

Thanks George, that one went over my head; I assumed documentation was referring to a flat "washer" Oops!!!
