Outrage Velocity 90 Build

This is the Outrage Velocity 90. The same company that makes the Torq servos I used on the Goblin have a line of helis. This is their big nitro bird.
I contacted the company to get good pics and a 3-view and they sent me a special photoshoot but they ran out of steam for the 3-view. I went back to the website and their background image is a side and top view of the heli but the right click gives no option for saving the image so the pics below show how I obtained the image. The image is really big at 3840x2400.:)
I was able to process the pics and make them more usable. I setup the image planes this morning and will start this build today.
You'll notice the side view copied and laying flat on the grid. That's to make it easier to trace the frame with the line tool.

One reason the helicopters don't interest me as much in terms of modeling, is that once the canopy is on, a lot of them look very similar. But in this particular case, because it is a nitro bird, it will be very different from the Goblin build.

Those 3 views (actually 2-views) look like they should be pretty good/excellent.
 
I always felt the same way, but always knew I was going to try one just to be more rounded in this hobby. Now that I have modeled one I know they are fun to model. It is different than making planks. It almost feels like you are assembling a real heli. By the way the canopy pops off in lite collisions. Then all the detail shows.:)
 
How could you resist w/actual blueprints. I've been thinking of trying a heli also just to see if I could make one.
 
I think you'd like it. There are some things about the pivots and naming convention for the rotors that take a minute to wrap your head around, but once past that it's not that hard.
 
All I'm saying is he seems to have a high understanding of how this modeling thing works. Much higher than me.
 
So I modeled The YS 91 sr that is recommended for this heli. The carb still needs work but It's getting there. I imported the Outrage Torq servos I used on the Goblin and have placed them around the machine. They still carry the AO map used on the goblin so their color isn't right. Also the servo mounting tabs are on the inside of the frames with this one so I still need to make hardware for those. The detail for the frames has been increased with all the various visible holes. Muffler is in place as well. Polys are at 9370.
Still left to model are both main and tail rotors, canopy, tail bracing, electronics, and fuel plumbing. Of coarse the collision mess as well. I can steal allot of polys from the frame if need be.

I was looking at your model, and got to thinking about what a pain it must be to tune those nitro engines in a helicopter. The process is bad enough in a plank.
 
Seems easy enough. High and low needles are on the right side of the heli. Things are very open on this bird.
