SW isn't too bad. It was like Chinese to me when I first looked at the program...2 days into it I was designing nice looking wheels, gears, intake runners, etc. Once you get the hang of the main tools, it becomes much easier. Youtube tutorials help a ton.

Hi

I just came across this post and I felt the need to register just so I can tell you great I think it is!
I am truly in awe of the level of detail in this project and I especially think the exhaust is a work of art!
I know it's an old post but I hope this message gets to you :)

Re: 4 Rotor Build

I haven't posted on this board in YEARS, but this build is so epic that despite being finished many years ago, it deserves a bump. Dude designed and built his own four rotor.

I bow to you sir!
