“Mosquito” Helicopter Build

Apache is good but for me the best chopper in DCS is, was and remains the Huey. Nothing beats its almost ww2 like pit, the shakiness and the whopwhop sound. I just love that thing to bits. I also love how it’s about the same size as my van :wink:

…And probably simpler to operate!

I’m partial to Tobsen and @EightBall 's OH-6A. Damn that thing is fun to fly! I feel like it can do anything but sling load and bring a bunch of your best friends along. There’s a Chinook for that.

I haven’t so much as wiped the dust off this project since July. Today though, I got a shipment! They parts are all the “shorts” from the phase 1 I brought home in the spring. Still…progress! Especially given that I was half expecting CFX to be forced out of business once the tariffs hit Canada (their primary supplier).

Adding a detail here for my own records. I scratched the paint badly in late spring while drilling. I only just around to the repair using a spray and clear coat by touchupdirect.com. It came out very close.
