That is a disappointing fit for a Dragon kit. Was it an early release do you think? I recall early ones were a little less exact fitting, but that is gaping  %%  Still, you worked your magic on it and she's coming along fine :o )


YEA ITS BETTER NOW but i thought dragon were a good kit makers but well as you said ive fixed it so i can now press on an spray paint it in a nice dark blue
cheers for stoppin

Think you must have a very early one there Dragon are top nothch kits normally.  Still tail rotor looks good.

Hi your Heli is coming on great just wondering if you can tell me where you got Your micro motors from please as I am finding it difficult to get the rear blades to turn on my Seaking for my HMS Clyde as that seems to be the only way it will work.
