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

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,

Strange machine... :o...!

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... ;D...!

Cheers all...!

Paul.

It's a fantastic model tho'... ;)... 8)...!

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.
