Wow! Lovely shots Ken! Awsome bird. Looks like a giant wheedwacker... ;-D ... just don't get to close tot the rotors...

It's the Kaman K1200

There is a FS version out!

Check http://www.swedbird.com/helo/index.htm

somewhere down the download helicopters list...

Cheers,

Lovely a/c..
I always cant help wondering how thems rotor blades dont get tangled up..
i presume there sync'd..

i presume there sync'd..  

I'd always be worried about them becoming un-sync'd (hey, new word!)  ;D

TSC.

lol..


But even so..
They dont look like they can rotate without hitting eachother..

A v.simple but v.clever idea. Has great lifting power

[quote]Wow

did you notice the 6000 lb weight note, above the hoist, on the first set of images ?

Yeah I saw that, but only after 'd posted my 'Wow, what is it' question.

6000lbs!!! In the words of my missus 'Good for shopping then' - er - yes dear, very good.  ::)

Cheers,

TSC.

LOL, interesting rotor workings!

Me...Must.....Have

Do the both the rotors balance the a/c..
Cause there only seems to be a rudder surface..

That is correct Andrew

Strange machine... ...!

I downloaded it yesterday, took off, spun round backwards in ever decreasing circles, crashed, made a big circular hole in the ground, evacuated, and collected my little Captain Sensible Cessna 152.

I am never, EVER going to get used to flippin' Whirly-Birds... ... ...!

The propellor needs to be in front of me....
...not above me... ...!
LOL... ...!

Cheers all...!

Paul.

It's a fantastic model tho'... ... ...!

Very interesting Ken. I always thought those intermeshing twin rotors were a great idea. This time last year I saw an early Kaman HH-43B Huskie currently awaiting restoration for static display at the Midland Air Museum. Coventry. It looked like a long job.

The Kmax is a very neat helo isn't it? Sounds different than a normal one as well
