Default Big Heli...

Check out the MAY edition of Model Helicopter World! 2003

Rick Simmon's custom built HH-53 Jolly Green Giant
is up for the third time.

6 Blade, 7 foot DIA rotor disk! SAB wants a kilobuck to replace.
twin cylinder, 8 hp engine shoving it at 1100rpm.
40 Pounds all up.
4 point ccpm, split receiver on the swash. (3 & 6)(12 & 9)
Ramp opens, Rescue dude lowers on the cable...
Almost 8 feet in length.
The TR is almost as big as a rappy head, but with
four blades!
Took 16 months, and 10,000 to put her up.
Ranks right in there with bigness....
If you fly Model Heli, and you don't get MHW, may
I lovingly ask, "Why not!"
