    Roban 700 Cobra pilots

    Well, after flying my Cobra for 2 yrs now with no pilots I finally got around to test fitting a GI Jane helicopter pilot into the cockpit, she did require the removal of her lower extremities but actually fit pretty good, so I purchased a second one, they may not be to scale but look better than nothing I think. So if your looking for some pilots for your Cobra, these do fit and for about $20-$40 off eBay if you shop around, I think I spent $70 for both of these.

    First flights with pilots installed yesterday. I have lost track of how many flights on this one now, may be time to sell it and build something new.

          Perfect timing! I’m about to acquire an Roban Cobra 700 and I was wondering if the GiJane would be a good fit. In my opinion those are actually perfect scale pilot for this size. I have the same two pilots on my Roban 800 UH-1N. I’m also thinking of the elite force George bush figure and doing a little surgery on the torso to get them down to about 10” in size.
