The Mini Hurricane Project Chopper Disassembly Video

[Trey]

I am amazed at your skills Eric. You are unbelievably skilled and talented...I am really jealous...haha. I only wish I had 1/4 the talent and skills you have to make stuff like this.

It sounds absolutely amazing; can't wait for more videos and updates!

Looking great Eric! I still remember the Mini-T when I first saw it, hard to believe it was almost 8 years ago lol! This is going to be even cooler, and CNC'd to boot! How did you find the time at work to write the toolpaths?

How did you find the time at work to write the toolpaths?

It took maybe 15 minutes or so to program it at the machine.

For example here's a b.s. program for a rotor here....

Wow...all those videos were great! Very educational and it looks to be coming along nicely. Still tinkering with my mini Bolt but I can't do too much because I'm in the process of buying my first house. (Thus my "toys" fund is now non-existant...) Looking forward to more progress.
