Thought you may like to see my latest project that was completed in April 22.


The model is based on Scalewarships new Arleigh Burke GRE hull, which John the owner had asked me to build and let him know how it went and also to use some of his electronic items.

So I plan out what function I like to have working these were
Sound System
Gun rotation
Port & Starboard motors to be independent
Switching unit for the following………Light, Nav, main Mast, flight deck, Bridge, hanger the later would also be able to switch from white to red lighting.
Helo rotors
Helo to track in & out of the hanger
Hanger doors to open and close, however this could not be complete as the space below the hanger was not big enough to fit the working parts.


All fittings were self made also the running gear was self made apart from the props, which were supplied by Keith Bender.

Flyco detailing looks amazing! Do you have video of the traversing helo?

I'm still working on getting my elevators functioning on my Bonnie. That's keeping me from re-printing the hangar deck.

Hi Brad,

I know how you must fill Brad, I spent along time trying to get my hanger doors working, but in the end I just had to move on.


Here is a You Tube link from a forum I was using when building the model
