Enjoy.

As an old AH-1F gun bunny and OH-58A scout guy, I'd really love to see a dedicated "thread" to the world of helicopters. I've got 3 kits on the table and looking for more. My wish list: (1) 1/35th U.S. Army AH-1G with Cavalry markings or a 1/35th U.S. Army AH-1S with full anti-armor configuration we used in Germany in early 1980s, (2) 1/35th U.S. Army AH-1F, and (3) 120mm figure of an AH-64 or 160th SOAR pilot in full flight gear.

I definitley concur. Especially with A). the interest in the Somalia thing, and B). all the new models coming out, especially in 1/35 scale.

To David Voss:

There are two ways that this can be done... the easiest way would be to rename the "Aircraft" forum "Fixed-Wing Aircraft" and create a new "Rotary-Wing Aircraft" forum. This way would be quick-and-dirty; please be sure to move all Helicopter threads to that forum should you decide to go that route.

The other way, which would be more involved, would be to create new categories (such as Aircraft, Armor, Automotive, and Science Fiction or Fantasy) and have the forums as the sub-categories. I realize that this would take a lot more work, and I certainly don't expect you to restructure your already EXCELLENT board to suit one group of enthusiasts.

Thanks for your consideration, DV... this site is still young and has so much potential! Keep up the GREAT work!

Hoorah!

Definitely would like to see a Helicopters forum. It'd be much easier than hunting through all of the dozens of other "straight (or swept) wing" posts to get at what we're all interested in. I'd have seen this posting sooner otherwise! LOL

In all seriousness, though, a helicopter forum would be beneficial!

Rolling in Hot!

I also like the idea of a helicopter forum. It would save us wading through the other stuff to get what we love. Thanks Dave for looking into this.

I would love to see a helicopter forum. I'm a former flight engineer/crewchief on Chinooks. I am putting together an idea for a diorama for this aircraft. It would be great if they made one in 1:35 scale. I hope this new forum flys.
Slings Tight.

Sonds good! Get the "rotor wash" and "flight line tape" ready! Just don't step through the "greenhouse" and never use "MO Gas" to wash a turbine engine!
Clear Left!

David:

That was quick! Thanks for your consideration; you've got a great site here. I hope we can get this worked out.

I know, I know....

The forum software we're using doesn't have an option for sub-forums (unfortuneately). We really, really could use sub-forums. The good news is that I'm very familiar with the code and I'm confident I can make the necessary modifications. This is on my "parking lot" list.
