Sikorsky "Black Hawk' in close up.
This is what is called. "Tripple redundancy". All controls and servo motors are triplicated.
All rotor blades have pressurised nitrogen gas in them. The 'indicators' for damage done are on the trailing edge near the rotor blade clamps.
The vibtation 'neutralizers' are the things you see here hanging off the end of the "jesus" plate.

Kerry COXI Had these images sitting in my draw for ages and was originally going to put them all on disk for sale, but they are doing a better job on line here now than lining my pockets. hehehe I am glad to help all I could Michael. 🙂 👍

Michael HickeyReally nice photos mate and appreciate the time and effort you've taken to put them up, unfortunately I could only save a handful to my computer. As with all these great pics you see on this site sometimes you might want to save an image to your own computer but can't. I think Tim has put a stop to this sort of thing happening because of copyright. What I find annoying is that I've put images in my own albums of my models and because I accidentally deleted the images from my computer needed to copy from this site, can no longer copy them from my album and put back onto my computer. Or maybe it's just me, and another fellow modeler I know who has the same problem.

JensThanks Kerry, I have the Black Hawk as the only model in 1:35 and the whole set of Cobra,. I've already sawed, but then I was again with models of 48, ..., the pictures bring back desire, especially the colors, much more beautiful than US gray green, Thank you, really great that you share with us 👍

Kerry COXI do have some more of the aircraft that were at Amberly at the time I did all this photography, given permission by the powers that be because I told them it was all "For scale modellers" and I got the go ahead. 🙂 👍
