AF /AM Copter Thing?

Post by paulitoy »

-

Looking through Lewis' ebay auctions, I noticed the AF copter-backpack-thing.

Does anyone have this loose? Could they post some pics of it please?

Does it match fairly well with AM copter-thing?

I'm considering getting one and painting it up to match the AM one as part of current 'little and large' thing.

Any info/knowledge, etc...

:doc: :doc: :doc:

Andy, thanks for those pics!

It's pretty close to the AM version.

One thing, any idea on how to attach it to a series 1 pilot?

been thinking about this myself.
rather than drill into your fig, cut the attachment off the motorised backpack then slice most of the back off an original AF backpack then glue the 2 together.
might work.
