Approach Engineering takes a new position on manufacturing helicopter fuselages using model airplane materials
and construction techniques that are bundled into a kit to assemble and finish. Comprised of balsa and laser-cut
plywood the scale fuselage is constructed over a plan and building board using a detailed photo instruction manual
in a step by step assembly method.

The first reaction from most helicopter modelers is that it will take too long to build and that the end result
cannot be compared to a fiberglass fuselage. Well, it just really depends on the modeler's craftsmanship and
modeling skills. Anyone who has built a model airplane kit will immediately see how simple the contruction is
and it can be finished in a couple of weeks, but like all projects, the more time you have the faster it can be
completed. Finishing the model is a simple as using Monokote which has several flat colors or use your favorite
plastic covering. Spot paint any left over areas an you have a great looking fuselage.
Availability Updates:
We are expecting the first eCobra kits next week. Approach Engineering is offering a special,
discounted price on kits to celebrate their return. If you have been thinking about getting one, this is great time
to buy one before the price returns to its regular retail. We will enable online buying as soon as we have inventory.
If you want one of the very first production kits, email or call us to reserve yours.
Approach Engineering has been acquired by Super Scale and is now being managed by Dr. Tim and he is working hard to
get up to speed with the fuselage line. Super Scale has announced that the first fuselages will be available in May
and we will reopen the detail fuselage sections as we receive our first shipments.
