My first Hughes paper canopy

[jvbemmel1]

After some old-fashion cut and pasting, I've assembled a Paper Hughes 300 canopy. I downloaded it from HeliHobby (Thx!) and made the tank myself.. looks nice doesn't it? (see attachment)

I have one that I photoshopped my face in the side glass. It still needs to be cut though.

Yes neat! Thanks for showing it to us.

Does anybody know how the Ikarus Fuel tank is mounted on the piccolo? Is the servo inside or is it stuck onto the servo? (I'll experimenting with the tank, it looks best when put right at the shaft, but this makes the dodging the servolinks a bit tricky..)

The Ikarus kit has a crossbar to hold the tanks which mounts on the rear (roll) servo between the servo body and the servo arm. The tanks then attach to the crossbar. I wanted to be able to easily remove the canopy as a single unit so I just attached the tanks to the canopy like "ears" with double sided tape. I thought they might flop around a lot, but they're actually quite stable.
