Cool looking.
Now just a missile or two underneath.

Kinda looks like those choppers used in that Schwarzenegger flick, "The Sixth Day".

Only memorable thing about that movie.

The real question is-will it fit in the garage, or at least the driveway.

Not like this, at least that I’ve seen lately. Co-axial rotors yes, but a pusher prop in the rear, rather than the regular tail rotor? Uh-uh. This looks like some of the new ideas comming from Micro R/C Helicopter designers.

I’d like to see this with outriggers for weapons. Lookout Airwolf!

Ask and you shall receive.

Apparently so.
Way cool. Years ago I was disappointed at the cancellation of the Comanche. Thought that was cool. This is cooler.

Thanks. I hope this one makes it.
