"THE ARMY" Brian Ellebracht
 

Can we start this Months Comp??? Well, here is my idea, please let me know if it is ok. There is alot of talk these days about UAV's in the News. Here is a web site, that gave me the idea to make a UAV helicopter. Is that ok?? DOn't have much for references, So I thought that I could make my own, based on The image on this site, and a few other references. Please let me know. I Can't wait to get started thanks,
Brian Ellebracht

P.s. here is an image of my idea. THanks,
Brian

great idea mate!! looking forward to seeing this one grow and thanks for starting of the comp!

sweet... thanks, here is a test concept version, not sure if I am going to go with this or not. Everything is going to be modeled with "modern day pars" (lots of Carbon Fiber) if I can make a shader. :) And I will be modeling servos, battery packs, engines ect.. thanks,
Brian

Here is the back so far, it will be mechanically the same as the one on the link, but cosmetically if you don' t mind, I would like to spruce it up a bit. THansk,
Brian

here is the latest front view "cokpit" eventhough it doesn't really have one. anyways, I made a radiator, for my liquid cooled 4 cyl engine (they do make these for RC PLanes and such). THanks,
Brian,

THe size of the Helicopter, is about 3 feet off of the ground, by about 6ft. long. THanks,
Brian

I wonder; what does "UAV helicopter" mean?

oops. I forgot to add the image. sorry. Thansk,
Brian

UAV stands for Unmaned Air Vehicle. Here is a link for another one, but the pics suck. Thanks,
