MD500E Update

Hi all
Been awhile since any updates on my MD500e simulator.
Spent the afternoon on Sunday working on the simulator and while there is a lot of work to go here is some progress so far.

It was all roughly put together to give me an idea on how thing are coming along

Looks awesome. Great work.

Did you start off with some shell parts or are they all hand made?

Thanks Ronson2k9
Apart from the bare frame which is a hughes 300, all the door sections and center window strips have been fabricated

I thought I recognized the 300 in there :). Perfectly cool though. Will you be putting in glass or leaving it open?

I would like to enclose it with something if I can ,but not sure what would work given the curves. Thought about using a very thin tinted plastic but not sure if that would be flexible enought to keep its shape
given the direction of the curves.

Hmmmm oh i know Saran wrap LOL just kidding. WOW that 500 is coming along very nicely. My friend who wants to build a helo pit is going to flip when he see the work you have done. Any pos. of getting you to post up some of the measurements?

Very cool project!
