ECO 8 - Customised Parts and Setup

Introduction

This part of my web site is about my Eco 8 helicopter and the changes I have made to it.

In addition to a range of upgrades which are pretty striaght forward I have built a custom set of side frames in carbon fibre and decorated the canopy and tail with computer generated decals.

All the drawings completed in AutoCAD R14 and CorelDraw 12 are available for download throughout the site together with the technical details contained within the analysis page
