I built this from plans I ordered from Cherry Tree, it took about 4 months off and on, I used purple heart, oak, pine, redwood and ebony. The doors open and close and the main rotor and tail rotor turn. It was a really fun project to make. Still has to head to the finishing room, and when I zoomed the pic on the rotor i can see where i need to a little more sanding.

That is pretty cool. My kids would love it, and then DESTROY it. But they would still have fun with it. :)

That is neat. One of my regular coffee stops is at the Petroleum Helicopter hanger – I bet those pilots would love to have some of these. Well, maybe I’ll try one and they can share it in the coffee lounge :-)).

Hi Ray,
Again this is a wonderful piece. I agree with Charlie about posting another picture when you have it finished. I am sure that it will be gorgeous.
Thanks for the post.

That’s incredible! With all that detail, I would expect it to actually fly.

Andy if I can build it anyone can. Just give it a try. There is no such thing as a bad project, projects that don’t turn out as expected…..become modern art.

A great toy. Make a hundred and we’ll pass them out at our toy giveaway in December.
I believe that we are going to make a Helicopter also but not so detailed.
