This and the Skeeter have to be two of my favorite helo's of all time. You can put me on the list of folk hanging on for this one with their tongue's dribbling in impatience. :roll: It looks really good Rick.

Cracking job Rick :thumbsup:... I wasnt aware of this in the pipeline at all... I suspect thats true of most posting on this thread. Of course you also have the start of something else in that model.... should it ever take your fancy :wink:

Blimey Rick, you've certainly got a thing about Bristols' at the moment

I guess the Blenheim is still progressing?

there are many models progressing but as stated in the start of this thread i am only showing this as it's a 100% certain release.

Nothing more than that.

& no Toby i am not making a Belvedere as there is nothing from a Sycamore in the non prototype.

Please no more sly requests as i will 100% ignore them as they are OT :dunno:

If anyone wants to start making models please feel free as there are nowhere near enough and far too many wanted.

ie: i cannot make them all.

Regards
Rick

I would just like to add... as someone who never flew rotary until very recently, the sycamore is superb in every way, not least in that it is so enjoyable and straight forward to fly.

It really is (in my humble opinion) the best model Rick has made to date. :smile:
