Default THE BIGEST RC BELL 47

Last sunday we finally saw Jose´s Bell 47. It´s a big scale model made entirely by himself. The main sctructure is steel and the mechanics aluminium. The engine is from a chainsaw, the main rotor is rigid and total blade diameter is 3600mm without flybar or paddles.
But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...

The weight is around 25 Kg, I don´t know exactly because he had to fill the skids with lead for balance.

Cheers

That may be one of the most impressive things I've seen. I can't believe he machined everything from scratch.

That is AWESOME. A true credit to the mans skill at machining and engineering. What a beautiful machine. I am inspired to do the same, but am lacking the tools. One of the best examples of modeling I have ever witnesed.
