CH46 Sea Knight

Introduction

This part of My Web Site is about my MS Composit CH46 Sea Knight tandem helicopter.

Tandem helicopters are new to me so this is a documented build of my experiences in putting together the kit and its setup. Its designed to add to the standard instructions which are ok but a little vague in some areas.

I have used a full MS setup minus the receiver so the kit is pretty standard.
