CUSTOM PROJECTS
By: Lightfighter

Here are some photos of some stuff I have been working on in my spare time. The ATV project was a blast to do. I started with a red Lanard ATV and added the supports (2 12" rulers) and 2 rescue baskets from the 21C fire/ rescue helicopter. The helo, I refer to as the RUH-6 (Recon Utility Helicopter), started life as a 21C Police helo. I painted the exterior OD green and the interior flat black. I added a winch assembly from the fire/ rescue helo and a clasped hook from Walmart. The hook makes it possible to slingload cargo. I also added a 1/4" x 5" eye bolt to the main rotor assembly and upper deck plate so that I could "hang" it for the "in-flight" shots. I've also included some shots of my Hasbro Humvee. What a great vehicle! It puts the LSV into proper perspective. I am considering getting another, but I also have the New Bright RCH2 and the Tonka H2. I'll have to ponder that addition. I hope you all like the photos.

I found this clipped hook at Walmart. It makes a great cargo hook on my helos. I left it white for display purposes. Easy to install, just drill a hole slightly smaller than the threaded portion and twist it in.

My combat Medivac ATV in slingload configuration. Made the rig out of 550 cord. The four smaller ropes made out of the individual strands and metal clasps. Installed four small eye-screws into the ATV's fenders.
