Helicopter Ski's
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 15, 2004 2:52 AM
OK guys and Gals,
I realize this is a helicopter question, but I wanted many opinions and figured we modelers do many different subjects. As such I've posted this on the Helicopter section as well.
Here's something I was wondering and I want to get your opinions. I'm planning on making several models of Alaskan helicopters (CH-47, HH-60G, UH-60L) and while I considered making the skis that we use up here from scratch, I also considered writing Cobra Company and seeing if he was interested in producing them in resin. First look at the pictures and then also consider that they're not just simple flat skis. There's a lot of compound curves and other detailed fittings involved, including a folding main ski on our HH-60G's on the right side so we can employ our hoist. The ski folds down. Hopefully you'll think like I do that one of these helo's with the skis would make for an interesting addition to your collection.

Well there you have it. I think I'm going to ask Cobra Company regardless but I'm trying to get an idea on interest. Any of you interested in doing a model like this??? What scales would you like to see???
Thanks for your responses,
Salbando

Sal,

Yes, I'd like to know that helicopter ski's were available, and encourage you to persue your quest with the Cobra Comapny. Ask for "Chris".

Take care,
Frank

Frank,
Yeah, Chris is great! Thumbs Up [tup] I dealt with him concerning some unreadable directions, a missing part (rotor brake for an MH-6) and two warped doors for an MH-60G. I simply asked him what he thought, and if he could help. Next thing I know I've got two new doors 2 new rotor brakes and new perfectly clear directions all at no cost and within 4 daysWow!! [wow]. Bow [bow]
Chris is great! I just hope he takes me up on the Helo ski's deal.
