Greetings fellow Rotary Club members.
Here's a couple of construction shots of my Six-pac Little Bird. Canopy, instrument panel, pilot and rotors are yet to go in, but the Delta guys got a little anxious and wanted to try out the seats.
The shape of the FRIES bar, made from styrene rod stock, is the best I could come up with, based on photos I found and by studing frames from Black Hawk Down. I think my bend radius is a little tighter than the real thing.
My question concerns the new external plank seats on the Cobra Company MELB kit. It seems that nobody has actually seen what they look like. Do the seats angle up like gull wings, or do they extend straight out from the plank? The diagram in the instructions looks like it was drawn by a freshman engineering graphics student. I've seen models with the seats in both configurations.
For kicks and giggles, I thought I'd throw in a shot of a Marine Cobra I built some years ago.
