Do you understand what kind of pictures are helpful to a modeler? Most of us require 3-views, or straight on shots from the top, side, and front. Doze pictures you posted are useless, to me at least. Even the picture size is too small to be useful. Where are your specs? Eventually, specs have to be assigned to a model. Anyone can find specs. If you're not willing to do that, why should a modeler? Who knows? Maybe a single 390x255 .jpg is enough to intrigue a modeler.

For anyone looking for a new heli project, it looks like the heli guys are starting to beg

What? No 3-views or even pics?! (And yes, I mean in their forum.)

Nope just begging. They're hoping for a modeler to come along that's up for the challenge. LOL

For a change in pace, I will consider it after my next project, but I won't attempt physics on it. I'll need a volunteer for that. After my Katana is done, I plan on reworking another model I've yet to release, and if no one has taken it, I MIGHT do it.

I'll help with the heli physics. Td9 is pretty good with heli physics too.

Thanks Matt. I'm also soliciting an owner with a good camera that would also like to see this bird in the sim in that thread. We'll see what happens. I may need to stick my neck out and double post it into the Goblin thread for a lot more eyes. Also, I'm going over to IRCHA this weekend, I'll see if I can get anything useful. There should be quite a few there. There is also a little brother that just came out.

Here is a link to the manual that looks like it might have some pretty good info to a layman. http://www.goblin-helicopter.com/sho...0_Rev1_Eng.pdf

I really don't think the physics are going to be a major problem. We've got some great flying 12s 700 size flybarless helis to use for a base model. With a little research on the head speeds and motor specs that the pro's are using and that very slick fuse it should be pretty easy to get something pretty close. The exact feel can only be done by an owner that knows the editor. Three different owners would edit three different feels That's what AV's are for.

Thanks for the research csgill, you inspired an artist. Those feenix boys are going to be hating life if we get there first. They're begging also.

You guys have NO idea what's coming if I take this on. I hope you have a ton of patience

Get your thinking caps and cameras ready. My daughter has more heli experience than me, just because she was airlifted at birth.
