CH-47D Chinook Structural Drawings

 

         
A model Chinook under construction - this photograph shows that it is well on the way to becoming airworthy.

             This photograph is of a remote controlled model Chinook, designed and manufactured by Alex McEwan (www.RotorWash.co.uk) undergoing flight testing, circa January 2004. It just needs some fine tuning and the skin to complete the project.

 

             As so often requested, for all you modeler types out there working so hard to build a flying remote control version of the Chinook, here are some drawings to help you build the fuselage.
