    Well with Mark and Trish getting some Heli's then my wife getting me the Blade 120 SR I decided to make a little Heli pad for some spot landing practice. So I wiped it up this morning and got a proto type but together and it worked pretty well. So here are the files for those of you that would be interested. If you build one let me know and post it on the thread. As a side note I would appreciate it if no one redistributed the files as I would like to keep them for Phlatboyz members only as a special thank you for all of their help.

    Ain't that cool... I plan on getting the SR micro here soon. Any problems with the pad moving due to rotor wash?

    That is some 'spot landing', jovian!!! You must be really, really good it you can land on it. I tried a lot of times and was happy when I was able to land, period. :D And if it was still in my yard, bonus!!! :D

    Nick you Rock my brother! This is awesome!
    I am going to fill mine with some sand so it can't move before I glue it up. Or maybe I should put a hole in the bottom and fill it with plaster of Paris. Either way its going to be sweet!
    Thanks again for sharing this. :)

    I think with the msr or the mcx you would be fine. but the 120 was slightly to big and the wash did make it move till I weighted it down with some spare washes underneath. I don't consider myself that good at flying helis but I was getting into 3D with a T-rex 500 until the crashs caught up to my pocket book. I will see if I can find some video for yall.
