Re: Parts duplicated in autocad

Nope... if I did, I could probably do it myself, but my CAD skills aren't good enough that I would want to start from scratch. Of course, I would want to ensure the accuracy to ensure proper alignment.

My particular heli that I fly, a JR GSR260Z Sport has been discontinued as has many of the parts. I picked up the last one that Great Hobbies had in stock at a heavily discounted price and would like to be able to duplicate the parts. So essentially, I have the actual frames as templates.

Many other parts share the same background with the JR Vibe 90, so I'm still good there. I'm going to make duplicate molds of the body (which were very much over priced for replacements anyway). Bearings I can get anywhere and some other parts, I may snag up some spares here and there.
