Yeah thanks Ian ive got the model half made and have been to hovercontrol looking around a bit but nothing i was looking for with naming parts etc..
ie...ext model =____bla bla inter model ie vc =____bla bla and then the list of names like doors rotor parts retract wheels ...i know this is going to be a big learning curve but it will be a good one

the model im building is a bell 222 so theres a bit to it ,im able to source a lot of info and textures etc from the westpac 222 down here in hamz so thats a lot of help its the model animations and part names for now that are stopping moving on down the track to the harder parts like contacts points and gauges setups and all the others i dont know about yet ...

this is one challenge im upto though and is a dream ive had for a long time ,222 with all the bells and whistles and a good painting base for repaints
oh and once you know how many others that have been on the wish list

thanks again Ian for your quick reply but im thinking there must be more out there for this dumby
