Lovely model well made 😉👏👏👏👍 But, i find just one fault ( only my own personal opinion ) That the anti collision lights (flashers) are a bit too slow in there timing. I'd rather they were a bit quicker ( about 20 to 30%% quicker) but, that's my own personal opinion But, it's really nice otherwise. & no sign of a floodlight ( night sun) Not that important just a bit of a mind boggler for me only anyway. Well made in quality 👏👍😉 I'm not trying to criticize it just my own personal opinion of which i am sure everyone is entitled to. LOVELY ALL THE SAME. 😉
Thanks for commenting. The main aim for me with this idea was just trying to design and build my own lighting circuitry. In answer to your question, I did place a potentiometer on the circuit that would change the rate (frequency) of flashing. But my problem was that all this is permanently installed within the helicopter now… so am unable to change the rate. I have started a new model (Osprey) yesterday and aim to make the blinking rate the same as the real thing, plus I also want to add spinning rotors. With regard to the floodlight on the Apache, there was no option to display it down so kept it stored and off, whereas with the Osprey, I have wired that in so that it will be operational. In the end it’s all just a bit of fun to try and make each model better. The other goal was to try and make the lighting for less than what I can buy a kit online for which is generally around $150. The Apache lighting cost me around $15 all up. :-)
@@Bespoke_ModelMaker I would like you to build a Puma helicopter in camo decor & Airwolf with working lights & weapons ( if possible ) i know i am asking quite a lot But, the puma i have flown in & was a very memorable flight. & Airwolf as you know is a famous TV aircraft. But, i will leave it up to you. I do hope you can achieve these in the near future. 😉👍.
