Title: 15mm VTOL Container Transporter - Helicopter & Ducted Fan [commercial]
Post by: Mad Mecha Guy on April 05, 2015, 09:31:08 AM
As a request have done a VTOL for carrying containers.

With the Helicopter version will need to reinforce the blade with a strip of 0.5mm plasticard (or 2 x 0.25mm card) underneath the blade. Tried doing as two layer of 2mm MDF but looked way too thick. Will have to find a cheap supplier of 2mm plywood.

Pack of 2 for £10.00 GBP. Either Ducted Fan or Contra-rotating Helicopter.
both versions includes two 9x3x3cm Containers

Approximate Size:

Ducted Fan Version
60mm Wide (legs), 160mm (Fan)
50mm Tall
120mm Long

Heli Version
60mm Wide (legs), 190mm (Blades)
70mm Tall
120mm Long

Have got a finished the Passenger Pod (90x42x30mm) and hopefully will do AG version (different engine block) and have been doing alternate version of VTOL with blocky pods (for turbojets)

Brilliant. Can't see them on your shop. Are they available?

A 28mm version would be outstanding.

For the helicopter one, how about a circle of etched acrylic instead?
To look like moving rotor blades?

Can do them in 2mm Acrylic, would do as an optional Add-On to pack, that you would have the blades when on ground.

I will have a look at doing 28mm version, not such how long will take though.
