Blue Racecars custom fabrications

This bell is motorized with one motor for the main and one motor for the tail rotors. Both motors are in the fuselage with the tail motor driving a shaft that runs down the tail boom to a set of slot-car gears connected to the tail rotors. The main rotor is geared to run slower than the tail for a more realistic look. The instrument panel is also back-lit, but it's hard to get close enough to see it with the main rotors wizzing by your face!

This is a view of the main motor installation during construction.
