Hello from the latest northside newb!

[Imperial Drone]

Welcome mate. Us pilots are an awesome bunch haha. As for the DH17 if you want something lighter and easier AND cheaper. I will soon be letting one of mine go

Haha, yeah. I thought that since I'm an actual pilot it'd be a waste of talent not to make a Tie Pilot costume rather than a Teddy Bear Bait or Imperial Arborist build That's not to say that it won't happen in the future though....

As for the DH17, I still haven't heard back from this guy in the UK. I'd love to have a look at yours if you're considering selling.

Hi there and welcome.

Just be sure to have a good ready through the CRL http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costu...erve_pilot

Also I stongly suggest that you sign up on the Jolly Roger detachment if you haven't done so already to get all the reference material, good help form an extensive list of build threads and great advice.
