After a couple of weeks out of commision( hospital), I have given the whirly a rest, so as to finish of my 1/5 HE100d, that I started a couple of yrs back, ( painting and fit out).

While roaming through Ebay, I came across this fan unit, part of a Flyzone FW-190 arf, thinking it would be good behind the whirly spinners, ( A$9.00 ) if nothing else just to move air around inside the cowls, so here it is, appox 70mm in dia, should be ok

I'm back on the job after a 10 day stint in hospital having 75% of my tongue removed, ( :evil: C ) , but I've put the whirly on hold for a while, so as to finish of my 1/5 He 100, .... time just keeps slipping away, I post a pic of it later.
Cheers all

one of my projects that have been sitting around for yrs is a He-100 , I thought I had better try and get this one done before proceeding with the Whirly, so the canopy has been done, here's a few pics
