AH-56
Cheyenne
As a kid I was fascinated by the AH-56 Cheyenne, a revolutionary
attack helicopter Lockheed developed for the US Army. Aurora
offered a plastic model of the Cheyenne, but even as a 9 year old I
was less than thrilled with the overall quality of Aurora models, so
I found something else to squander my money on. Forty years
later I finally built my own radio control Cheyenne based on
hardware for the popular Align Trex 450. This design was
published in the December, 2011 issue of Model Aviation, and I can
produce molded parts for those interested in taking on this
challenging but very rewarding project.
The build is covered in a series of chapters describing each major
assembly stage. By all means, let me know if you run into any
questions.
