Scale RC Helicopter Build – Fitting Mechanics Into A Scale Fuselage
My Scale RC Helicopter Build method/s & tips for fitting mechanics into scale fuselage using 600ESP mechanics and FunKey 50/600 size scale Bell 222 or Airwolf fuselage.
Looking for information about FunKey scale fuselages?

What type of foam is used for the “floating mounting plates” in all my scale RC helicopter builds?
I use closed cell EVA foam. This can be from old blade holders, inexpensive kids flip-flops, or those 2×2′ interlocking foam floor mats you see at home centers and big box stores.
What glue to use to glue the EVA foam? As stated in the video at 16.21, I use Household Goop to glue. Shoe Goo will also work. Both are safe for the EVA and sticks well to both carbon and fiberglass while remaining flexible for vibration immunity. Goop Glue also takes time to setup, giving you ample time to ensure the mechanics are perfectly aligned inside the fuselage.
